Dr. Avnish Jolly, Chandigarh:Researchers from Finland have conducted
this new study on Erectile Dysfunction (ED) risk in men and finds that
regular Sexual Congress can play a significant role in preserving
erectile function among elderly men. Regular sexual activity can help
to preserve fertility of men. The risk of erectile dysfunction was
inversely related to the frequency of intercourse. The older man may
avoid Erectile Dysfunction (ED) if they have regular sex at once a week.

The researchers have conducted a study on 989 men between 55 to 75
years for around five years. They answered a questionnaire mailed to
them. The men who returned the questionnaire five years later were
included in the study. None of them had ED at the beginning of the
study. Out of 1000 cases, 79 cases had sexual congress less than once
per week. The cases dropped to 32 for men who had sex once per week.
The number further dropped to 16 per 1000 for men who performed
intercourse 3 or more times per week. Further the men who had less
than one morning erection per week were 2.5 times more likely to get
erectile dysfunction.

There is increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men with some
serious medical condition or overweight who had sex less than once a
week. But the study had one major limitation also. The researchers did
not ask men about masturbation and other modes of sexual activity.
National Institutes of Health finds erectile dysfunction is common in
older men. Some modern medicines like Viagra can also prevent erectile
dysfunction but these medicines have some side effects.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can be treated according to Ayurveda and in
its pretext Tri Stamb (Three Pillars of Healthy Life) – Ahar (Diet),
Nidra (Sleep) and Bramcharya (Rights of Sexual Congress) are
foundation of Healthy Life. According to Ayurveda one can retain his
sexual health through Rich food, Sound sleep, Yoga, Rasyan (Immune
Modulators) and Vajikaran (Sexual Modulators for Men only) under the
supervision of Vaid (Doctor). With induction of Nutritional Food,

maintain longevity and healthy life. With food and sleep one can
attain physical health for spiritual and hormonal health yoga and
modulators' plays significant role in daily life.
Regular Sexual Congress also impacts the general health and quality of
life. The study is published in the July issue of The American Journal
