Is Your Thyroid Robbing You of Your Sex Life?

You probably know that a thyroid problem can lead to weight gain, fatigue, depression, and a multitude of other symptoms, but did you know it can cause men problems in the bedroom?

(February 19, 2006) -- You probably know that a thyroid problem can lead to weight gain, fatigue, depression, and a multitude of other symptoms, but did you know it can cause men problems in the bedroom? According to a recent Italian study, it turns out that erectile dysfunction (ED), decreased sexual desire, and both premature and delayed ejaculation can be caused by hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) or hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid).

The study, conducted by Dr. Emmanuele A. Jannini and associates at the University of L’Aquila in Italy, observed men with thyroid conditions, noting their sexual complications before treatment. The researchers then re-evaluated the problems after the patients received treatment for their thyroid conditions. Jannini’s recommendation after the study? All men with underactive or overactive thyroid “must be evaluated for their sexual function.”

Here’s what they found: before treatment, 64 percent of the men with underactive thyroid showed problems with low libido, delayed ejaculation, and ED, each of which disappeared or significantly decreased with thyroid treatment. In the men with the opposite problem, overactive thyroid, over half had ED, while smaller percentages suffered from low sexual desire, delayed ejaculation, and/or premature ejaculation. After these men were treated for their thyroid condition, premature ejaculation decreased by almost 30 percent, and the other symptoms resolved in most of the men.

According to Selmedica Healthcare of Memphis, TN, men who experience sexual dysfunction should consider getting treatment for their thyroid condition; for underactive thyroid they offer Alvidar, an all-natural blend of potent botanical ingredients. The company asserts that Alvidar will help to repair, improve, and re-program the thyroid gland to run in high gear, without any harsh chemicals or severe side effects. Selmedica Healthcare CEO Perry Belcher says, “With a little help from Alvidar, underactive thyroid doesn’t have to stand in the way of coital bliss.”
