Male Impotence Most Suffering Migraines

Disorder aka Erectile impotence was linked to migraine. In a study conducted by researchers from Taiwan revealed that 63 percent of men who experience erectile difficulties more often than men suffer from migraine headaches that works fine genitals.
Dr. Tobias Kohler from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, observed that the focus of male sexual function problems and fertility, said that he had first heard about the relationship between migraine and impotence.
"This is a very interesting correlation, but it does not mean that both (impotence and migraine) has a causal relationship," said Kohler, who was not involved in the study.
Researchers study reveals yet know exactly how the relationship between impotence and headaches affect each other. In women the exact opposite. The researchers found that migraine headaches associated with sexual dysfunction in women. The findings are published in the journal Cephalalgia.
"Until now there has never been a study that tries to explore the relationship between migraine and erectile dysfunction," said Dr. Chao-Yuan Huang of National Taiwan University College of Medicine and colleagues.
In his study, Huang and colleagues collected information from 23,000 men enrolled in the national database of insurance in Taiwan. About 5,700 men had been diagnosed with erectile dysfunction, the inability to obtain or maintain an erection.
Then, the researchers tried to figure out the difference between patients with impotence (5,700 men) with those who do not experience impotence (about 17,000 men).
The results showed that, among men with erectile dysfunction as much as 245 people or 4.25 percent, has been diagnosed with migraine type headaches. Those without erectile dysfunction, male 457 or 2.64 percent, was diagnosed with migraine.
After the researchers took into account the differences between the two groups, including heart disease and diabetes, they found that patients with erectile dysfunction 1.63 times more likely to diagnose migraine.
In his study, researchers also estimated that 30-year-old man with erectile dysfunction were twice as likely to not diagnosed migraine.
"As you well know, chronic pain can cause sexual dysfunction. This explanation may be used as an excuse to see how chronic pain associated with headache," he said
The researchers also suspect that these compounds contribute to dopamine in the brain and is involved in triggering migraines and problems with sexual function. Another cause may be caused because people with migraine use of drugs that can interfere with their sexual function.
"This study is well done, but the results should be compared with other research, before we actually enter the migraine as a risk factor for erectile dysfunction or vice versa," continued Dr. Ege Serefoglu from Tulane University School of Medicine.http://health.kompas.com/read/2012/04/02/15502755/Kebanyakan.Pria.Impoten.Menderita.Migren
