Our sex life characterizes our healthy life
Doctors should ask their patients about their sex lives, because according to new research, problems in our sex lives may indicate the presence of serious health problems such as heart failure, depression, diabetes, and others.
The researchers examined medical data from many patients, to reveal a relationship between problems with sexual performance and diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, depression, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. It turns out that many problems in our sexual lives can be a warning sign of a more serious illness.
Among the results of the study, which aims to reveal the relationship between problems in our sexual life and some diseases:
- Many men with erectile dysfunction are at risk of developing heart disease.
- Many women who lost sexual desire were more likely to develop depression, kidney failure, and diabetes.
Since patients do not usually talk about having problems in their sexual life, the doctor should ask about this specifically, because diagnosing and treating the disease at an early stage increases the chances of a patient's recovery.
