The Case Study
MORE...

Although it seems unlikely that blood pressure and premature ejaculation could be linked, they actually affect one another directly on many levels. Blood pressure abnormalities, such as hypertension (high blood pressure), can seriously contribute to weak erections and premature ejaculation. In addition, the stress and anxiety that comes with high blood pressure can make sex extremely difficult and make ejaculation control nearly impossible. Current traditional blood-pressure medication simply resolve blood pressure problems, but does not remedy the sexual difficulties that often times go hand in hand with the illness.

	Blood pressure level (mm Hg)
Category Systolic Diastolic Normal < 120 < 80 Prehypertension 120-139 80-89 High Blood Pressure Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 90-99 Stage 2 Hypertension >=160 >=100

Sometimes there are no symptoms; but if they occur, they may include headaches, difficulty in breathing, low energy, indisposition, blurred vision, weight gain, increased heart rate, or a feeling of dizziness and nausea. Most men suffer from impotency and/or premature ejaculation due to hypertension. Hypertension is called the "silent killer" because it often reveals very few symptoms, yet has a devastating effect on a man’s sexual performance. Plus, because of the lack of symptoms, many men are left without answers and very few clues as to what the problem could be.

A Cause for Panic

There are many causes for high blood pressure, as there are many causes for premature ejaculation. What most people don’t know is many blood-pressure-lowering medicines, such as anti-hypertensive medication, can be the culprit in causing premature ejaculation and loss of ejaculation control. This is due to the fact many of the medications treat blood pressure by smoothing muscles and blood vessels, including those that can be found in the penis. While this would appear to be a side effect that could be avoided, in truth it is one of the many ways the medications directly treat blood pressure and there is no way around it while taking the medication.

The following table lists medicines that have had sexual side effects and/or direct effects on people’s sexual health. It is important to remember that not everyone experiences side effects with medicines. If you are worried your medication might be affecting your sexual function, or already started noticing negative effects, you should discuss these problems with your doctor.

Risky Business

Like many things in life, blood pressure can affect different people for many different reasons. It truly is a mixture of luck and lifestyle, because you never know how a body will react to outer and inner circumstances. While some people have low pressure by nature, others are predisposed to dangerously high levels of blood pressure. Here are some risk factors for people who have suffered from premature ejaculation or other sexual problems associated with high blood pressure:

• Age
• Alcohol
• Anxiety and depression
• Diet
• Gender
• Genetics and race
• Level of activity
• Weight
