Magnesium is a micronutrient that’s essential to the human body. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the nerves, muscles, and bones. Can magnesium deficiency cause erectile dysfunction? Yes, it can because:
Magnesium helps relax blood vessels. Low magnesium can cause narrow blood vessels that prevent blood from getting into the p***s during er****ons.
Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular issues are risk factors for ED.
Low magnesium is associated with anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression are major contributors to erectile dysfunction.
Magnesium is essential for the metabolism of nitric oxide, which helps the pe**le arteries relax. Relaxed pe**le arteries allow more blood to flow into the p***s during er****ons.
Symptoms of magnesium deficiency in men can include fatigue, muscle cramps, weakness, loss of appetite, and irritability. Others include nausea, numbness or tingling in extremities, headaches, and sleep problems. If you experience any of these symptoms and concerned about your overall wellbeing (including ED), contact a health professional.
