Quick answer: Erection problems often appear years before heart symptoms, because the small arteries of the penis narrow early. Diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking and sleep problems are common causes. A doctor's check comes before any supplement.
Why it matters
The same artery damage that leads to heart attacks can show up first as erection problems. NIDDK on ED.
What a doctor may check
- Blood pressure and cholesterol
- Blood sugar
- Testosterone if symptoms suggest it
- Medicines that can affect erections
Where supplements fit
After the check-up, and only if your doctor agrees. Supplements are not a treatment.
