Quit Smoking Can Minimize Your Erection Problem

You have read in many articles on internet that smoking is one of the major reasons behind impotence. However you always have a curiosity to know that how smoking can leads to such a harmful sexual dysfunction.

Here is the explanation- Erection occurs when a man is sexually aroused. Once you get sexually aroused, your body temperature increases and thus increases the flow of blood to different parts of the body especially penis. Moreover the production of nitric oxide increases in the walls of blood vessels which supply blood to the penis. This helps blood vessels to expand properly and thus more blood can flow to the erectile tissue resulting in firmer and harder erection.

Furthermore smoking badly affects erection process by blocking key arteries which affects the circulation of blood. Inadequate blood supply restricts erection process. Smoking is harmful as cigarette consists of nicotine which affects blood flow as well as impairs the valve mechanism in the penis.

Not only this, cigarette also affects sperm count and can cause fertility problems.

Hence it is advisable to quit smoking to lead an overall healthy sexual life.
