does hypotension affect male erections?

Question

What are treatment options for orthostatic hypotension in an elderly male?

Answer 1

Yes: Men require an ample blood suply and pressure to achieve and maintain an erection.Low blood pressures from medicines or decrease blood suply from atherosclerosis may compromise sexual function.

Answer 2

Yes: Many circulatory conditions affect erections: hypotension, hypertension, arterial disease, neurological disease, and the drugs used to treat them. "hypotension" is not the same for everyone, and many function normally (including sexually) at low blood pressures.

Answer 3

Yes: Unless blood pressure is dangerously low, the baby will typically receive adequate blood flow. During pregnancy the body tends to focus blood flow to the uterus. So while the baby gets plenty of blood flow, you may feel light-headed or dizzy if your blood pressure is very low. Most pregnant women have relatively low blood pressures and feel fine.

Answer 4

How low?: Fetal blood circulation usually maintained unless circumstances are extreme.

Answer 5

Wrong!: Ed can be an early signal that a man's heart or brain is at risk for heart disease or stroke. Ed can happen 10 years before a man develops life-threatening heart disease. All men with ED need to see a health care provider.

Answer 6

No!: While erectile dysfunction & impotence may not affect your health per se, it's more likely that your (poor) health is affecting your erectile function. Sure you can "live with it" for now, but if you don't address underlying issues now, you're more likely to have major issues later on, eg heart attack, stroke, kidney failure, etc. You don't have to take viagra (sildenafil) but you should find out why u have ed.

Answer 7

False: Ed can be a barometer or measure of your body's overall health and blood flow. Sometimes it can be the first sign of heart disease or vessel disease in older patients. If it is a problem, you should see a urologist to make sure that there is no larger issue. Also urologist can help to improve erection in many cases.

Answer 8

Men have: Breast buds and pre-cursors that will respond to estrogenic stimulus: gynecomastia, and there are 0.1-1% of breast cancer occurs in males.

Answer 9

Doctor can evaluate: For new onset of asthma symptoms in an adult, he can see and follow-up with his primary care doctor. If symptoms are difficult to get rid of, or are unusual, the patient can see an allergy & asthma specialist, and/or see a pulmonologist (lung doctor). Pulmonary function tests and allergy tests can be helpful when looking for the best treatments. For bad symptoms, the E.R. Is the place to go to.

Answer 10

Lack of knowledge ..: Probably it was a combination of ignorance of basic biology (there was no way of testing sperm or even knowing that there could be sperm problems almost half the time) plus a patriarchal society ...

Answer 11

Guys weren't checked: Usually, the first stop when a couple cannot conceive is the woman's gynecologist. The standard teaching with infertility is that the male factor plays a role about 50% of the time, so a semen analysis should always be obtained and properly evaluated by a lab when a couple can't get pregnant. If there are significant abnormalities it should be repeated and the patient referred to a urologist.
