40-year-old Mr. Yang was recently diagnosed with male erectile dysfunction (ED). Mr. Yang was a little confused: The newspaper said that this disease is often related to obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes and other diseases. He has nothing wrong with him and he still exercises regularly. Why is he "not good"?

Pan Guangxin, deputy chief physician of the Andrology Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Air Force General Hospital, is Mr. Yang’s attending physician. After asking about Mr. Yang's condition and eating habits, he said: "Your illness is related to your eating habits. The main reason is that you eat too many soy products."

In addition to having a clear cause of ED in men, it is sometimes related to an addiction to soy products. Men who regularly eat soy products have a prevalence rate of ED that is 3.46 times higher than those who do not regularly eat soy products. This is because soybeans and their products are rich in isoflavonoid phytoestrogens. Especially for men after the age of 40, the naturally secreted male hormones begin to decrease. At this time, if a large amount of estrogen is taken in, it will have adverse effects on sexual function. Influence.

Pan Guangxin explained that after ED occurs, the first thing to do is to change the habit of eating soy products and reduce the intake. Some genitourinary system diseases may also be the culprits of ED, such as prostate diseases, etc. You should seek medical treatment in time. Irregular eating and drinking habits, sitting in the same posture for a long time, and lack of exercise may also induce ED.
