Two studies conducted 5 years apart by The Journal of Urology concluded that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs increases the risk of ED and regular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use is associated with erectile dysfunction.
• Effect of Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Use on the Incidence of Erectile Dysfunction May 2006
• Regular Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug Use and Erectile Dysfunction April 2011
The drugs known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or NSAID are aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
Aspirin has a long and solid reputation for being both safe and beneficial, it reputation is now under threat.
All this while, it is thought that aspirin helped prevent blockages.
Apart from being a pain-relief, aspirin is an anticoagulant which thins the blood and increases circulation.
Researchers discovered that NSAIDs, such as aspirin blocked certain chemicals like prostaglandins, which are needed for an erection to occur.
Although it is too early to say that NSAIDs causes erectile dysfunction but there is a strong link between them.
So far no laboratory studies have been conducted to either confirm or deny this theory.
Aspirin has been used over a century for treatment of headaches, pain and prevention of heart attacks.
It is well known that erectile dysfunction is closely linked to heart disease.
Aspirin is used to protect men with heart disease from erectile dysfunction and has been proven to be useful in regular, low dosage to prevent heart disease or other conditions.
But researchers found a correlation between regular, low dosage aspirin use and erectile dysfunction in men over 55 years of age.
The study observed 80,000 men aged between 45 and 69 on their usage of NSAIDS.
They found that men who took aspirin three times per day were 2 times more likely to have erectile dysfunction compared to men who do not take it regularly.
