Here’s an interesting article on the New Straits Times for all gentlemen out there. Seems that if your critical body part down there finds it difficult to stand at attention, then you are at risk of vascular problems!

WHAT’S good for your penis is also good for your heart. That’s what health industry sources are finding out.

Consultant urologist Dr Peter Ng Eng Pin says chest pains used to be one of the only outward indications of heart disease.

But now, erectile dysfunction (ED) is the new warning sign of underlying vascular problems.

“The penis is a dipstick to your health. When that is down, your health is down as well.

“In many studies in was reported that more than 50 per cent of men with ED developed a heart condition within three years.

“It used to be the other way around, where people with heart problems had ED. Now, we’re learning that ED is a warning for more serious diseases.”

ED is an early manifestation of the blood vessel damage caused by high blood pressure, diabetes and other heart disease risk factors.

Well all I can say is this is really good news. If this article is true, then I am far from having vascular problems. Every time I look at my wife proves it. :mrgreen:
