Extended Computer Use Linked to Increased Erectile Dysfunction Risk, Study Finds

A comprehensive analysis involving over 220,000 men reveals a significant correlation between leisure computer use and a higher likelihood of erectile dysfunction.

Recent research published in the science journal Andrology indicates that for every additional 1.2 hours spent on a computer, men are 3.57 times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction.
The study, conducted by Chinese scientists, found a strong association between extended computer usage for leisure and the risk of erectile dysfunction, emphasizing the need for moderate physical activity as a potential corrective measure.
No evidence was found to suggest that other sedentary activities such as watching TV or driving for pleasure increase the risk of erectile dysfunction, pointing towards a specific link with computer use.
Lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in men, associated with computer use, were identified as a contributing factor to the increased risk of erectile dysfunction.
Experts suggest that men concerned about their erectile function should consider reducing computer use and incorporating more physical activity into their daily routines.
