B.P or hypertension is a condition in which the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high . Usually B.P is define as blood pressure above 140/90, and is considered severe if the pressure is above 180/120 .
A link between the history of blood pressure and sexual problems has been proved in men. B.P might affect the sex satisfaction of men . High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but overtime, BP damages the lining of the blood vessels. It also causes arteries to harden and narrow, a condition known as atherosclerosis. The condition limits blood flow. This means less blood flows to the penis which may drop your libido and interest in sex . For some men , less blood flow makes it difficult to get and keep erections . This fairly common problem is called erectile dysfunction.
Having erectile dysfunction even once can cause anxiety especially when your partner criticizes you or mocked you about it. Some men are even disgraced in public by their partners for not being man enough . Fears that it might happen again might lead some men to avoid sex . Some blood pressure medications may also lower sex drive .
