An Enlarged Prostate Can Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

Enlarged Prostate or Benign Pulmonary Hypertension is something that is very common in men who are growing older. It is absolutely common in men in their 60s or 70s. However, at present, the numbers are growing in the case of men in their 50s, too.

The question here is whether this syndrome can cause ED in men, too? ED or erectile dysfunction is a sexual disorder in men where they cannot attain an erection, needed for intercourse.

Usually, this happens in old age. But with the rise of junk foods, rising stress from workplaces, and rising proneness to alcohol, the young mass has also been engulfed by this syndrome. Sildenafil is the most common drug for the treatment of the same, and it can give full support, but the question is: whether an enlarged prostate causes ED or not.

To get a detailed answer to the same, we will have to go to the medical root of both types of ailments, and we will definitely go there. In short, let us tell you, yes, it is possible, and it quite happens that men with BPH face ED. Now, how do they develop both and what is the propensity to develop both, needs a detailed overview.

Age Factor:

---

Matter is such that both ED and BPH are common in old age in men. Almost 5 out of 10 men in their 60s face the same issue, and 7 out of 10 men face it in their 70s. This shows that there is a deep connection between ED and BPH.

However, it is a proven fact that men in their 70s generally won’t diagnose and treat their ED. In case they find issues with their BPH, at times they do follow a treatment, but only then when it is becoming a barrier for treatment of some other serious issues.

Age Group	ED Risk Level
Under 40	Low
40–49	Mild
50–59	Moderate
60–69	High
70+	Very High

Clinical reports suggest that most of the ED treatment is conducted in the 40s of men and the same is in the 50s for BPH. Men in their 40s, especially focus on Sildenafil tablets like Cenforce 200, while those in their 50s prefer to take Tadalafil for their ED.

Studying this aspect (age factor), we just came up with the fact that ED and BPH are common in men at some age, but the fact that BPH causes ED is still unproven.

Cause Factors:

---

The causal factors that are considered responsible for both ED and BPH are also common. Mostly the same happens in men in their old age, and in their case, no other justification is needed other than the age itself. However, in the cases of men in their 50s, clinical reports based on the profile of the patients suggest that both BPH and ED have common causes at their back:

Diabetes: This makes the blood more dense and thus viscous. Therefore, carrying and transmitting the blood becomes tougher, and due to the low reach of blood to the organs, both BPH and ED are caused.

This is the reason why all the ED pills work on the blood density, making it lighter to be carried down, ensuring blood reach to the penile tip.

Alcohol: Alcohol is another common cause behind BPH and ED. Alcohol affects liver health and cause secretion of the PDE5 enzyme to cause both ailments.

In case of BPH drugs and also in case of drugs for ED treatment like Fildena, consuming alcohol is strictly prohibited.

Heart disease: Heart disease is usually caused by high blood pressure, which is hard hitting of blood to the artery walls. The same affects the fluidity of blood, and as a result, men experience both BPH and ED.

Consulting the major causes of BPH and ED, not only you will find similarities in the causes, but the way the causes affect you to form BPH and ED are almost the same. Hence, the concept of interrelation between ED and BPH is again established here. However, we have still not reached the conclusion to establish the fact that BPH can cause ED. Hence, let us move ahead to find out the other aspects.

Psychological Factors:

---

Studies on men in their 50s who have reported positive cases of BPH and ED, or both, also state that the psychological factors responsible for both are same. Just take a look at the factors:

Stress: This is almost common in all patients suffering from both ED and BPH. Stress controls several hormonal secretions in our brain, and that can be the reason. However, research teams never confirmed that it is the same hormone, whose more or less secretion causes BPH and ED. So, the connection is established, but the interlinkage is not.

Anxiety: Anxiety has a direct impact on serotonin, and thus, anxiety is a prime cause for BPH; this is established. However, how anxiety is linked with ED physiologically has not been established till date by the experts or medical boards. But, although the exact reason of anxiety’s effect on ED is unknown till date, but impact on the same is proven.

Sleeping Disorder: Sleeping disorder is directly linked to ED and BPH. Both ED and BPH are caused by a sleeping disorder, and even a sleeping disorder causes the anomalies.
