40 per cent of older Thai men suffer erectile dysfunction, says doctor

BANGKOK: -- Approximately 40 per cent of Thai men aged 40 up suffer erectile dysfunction, a condition in which a man is unable to achieve or maintain an erection, said a Thai expert on sexual impotence.

Sexual health specialist Dr. Wanchai Nairakseri said that according to the recent study, some 40 per cent of Thai men aged between 40-70 years experience some degree of erectile dysfunction (ED). The major causes are a decline in the male hormone, testosterone, as well as cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Other factors that contribute to ED include alcohol consumption, smoking, a lack of exercise, as well as stress and anxiety, the doctor said.

The study found that two-fifths of Thai men with ED do not seek medical treatment from doctors for the condition, due to their feelings of embarrassment, according to Dr. Wanchai.

The doctor encouraged those experiencing sexual impotence to consult physicians in order to receive a correct diagnosis and treatment. Patients should not neglect their own health or take medicines on their own without a physician's prescription because improper medications might cause serious harm and even death.

Erectile dysfunction can be a major threat to personal and family well-being.

To prevent such a consequence, patients should seek proper treatment as the condition is treatable if it is diagnosed early and the right drug is prescribed, Dr. Wanchai said.

The good news seems to be that after the age of 70 things begin to straighten out.

Everyone should make lots of babies; the world needs more people.

Of course there are too many people in the world already. Thailand, however, must be rapidly falling below replacement level; it ranked in the top three countries, world-wide, to reduce their fertility during 1975-2000.

Well, I guess most of the older Thai men can't make babies, then. Cigarettes, cardiovascular disease, alcohol, stress, diabetes - quite common in older men.

Interesting comment, from my observations it is only smokers that need viagra because of the real physical damage smoking does. Stress, anxiety, and even diabetes can be dealt with. As far as exercise goes, being Thailand I would imagine once it comes up I am sure they will find an attractive exercise partner.

Hasn't the temporary ban on political postings had an interesting effect on the forum... the top four or so topics at this time are...

Seizure of Thaksins assets

A man with a leech up his Anus

Older Thai men suffering Erectile Dysfunction

Over 6,000 bags lost at the new airport

Certainly better than boring old politics ... Maybe TV should consider having Temporary bans later just to provide some colour to the topics

This news is hard to take.

They will need a stiff upper lip like the British.

Approximately 40 per cent of Thai men aged 40 up

I thought they where having a problem getting it up

Thai men aged between 40-70 years experience some degree of erectile dysfunction (ED).

Seems odd that they used such a huge age gap. How many of the 40% where in the 60's, 50's and 40's would have been more useful
