Erectile Dysfunction and Anaemia
Anaemia (also referred to as low haemoglobin) is caused by a low red blood cell count and can cause fatigue. This in turn can cause Erectile Dysfunction (ED).
Anaemia is generally caused when you lack enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your body’s tissues.
Men who are anaemic often suffer from tiredness, weakness and reduced energy and need to get more iron in their diet, doing this can also help with their ED.
Vitamin B12 and Erectile Dysfunction
Sometimes it’s a vitamin deficiency problem. Red blood cells require a certain level of vitamin B12 in order to function properly. When a body doesn’t get enough B12 it produces fewer red blood cells and reduced circulation of oxygen around the body including the penis.
Vitamin B12 is found naturally in foods such as animal liver and kidneys, sardines, beef, tuna, milk, cheese, and eggs. So, make sure your diet includes plenty of these foods or take supplements to augment the B12 in your body.
Vitamin B9 and Erectile Dysfunction
Vitamin B9, or folate deficiency sometimes also play a role in ED. A 2014 research study involving 100 people found that taking vitamin B9 supplements led to improvements in the severity of ED.
Vitamin B9 is found naturally in foods such as beef liver, green vegetables, especially spinach, kale, Brussels sprouts, peas and broccoli, avocados, eggs, citrus fruits, bananas beans, lentils, and other legumes.
Some diseases such as cancer, HIV/AIDS, rheumatoid arthritis, kidney disease, and Crohn’s disease can also interfere with the production of red blood cells. So, if you believe that you are suffering with anaemia you should consult with your doctor to determine the cause and the proper course of treatment.
Working with a doctor to determine the cause of one’s anaemia and the proper course of treatment is crucial for overall health, as well as for the specific health of the penis.
