General practitioner warning for a stunning increase in erectile problems in young men – and the common habit is the culprit

Looking at pornography leads to a wave of problems with erectile dysfunction in young men, has warned a doctor.

Dr. Babak Ashrafi, a Family Medic at SuperDrug Online Doctor, said that there had been an increase of 46 percent in men under the age of 30 who are currently sought help through the erectile dysfunction compared to last year.

Also called impotence or shortened to ED, erectile dysfunction is a condition where men cannot get or retain or retain classical more often in older groups.

But Dr. Babak said that a peak with younger men who experience the problem could be linked to the ‘exponential’ consumption of explicit online material.

“Despite the fact that men between the ages of 45 and 54 are most likely to suffer from erectile difficulties, younger male public are increasingly asking for treatment,” he said.

Dr. Babak explained that although occasional pornography viewed was harmless, frequent or marathon sessions could retrade the brains of men and prevent them from being excited.

“Repeated excessive exposure to graphic content can make it harder over time for individuals to be generated by real sexual experiences,” he said.

The doctor added that porn men could give unrealistic perceptions about their masculinity, or how long they should last in bed.

This, he explained, could lead to men torments about their personal bedroom performance, a well -known trigger of erectile dysfunction.

“The unrealistic images of sexual encounters in porn can lead to busy and stress about performance and lifespan, resulting in ED,” said Dr. Babak.

And with access to a colossal catalog of adult content, just a few taps on their phones, the medic warned access to porn has never been easier.

Other experts have previously warned that modern masturbation practices can set up men much earlier for impotence than typical.

Earlier this year, experts MailOnline said that a new fast -growing fetish called ‘Gooning’ could lead to impotence and pornographic addiction.

Gooning sees men undertaking ‘marathon’ self-pack sessions of up to seven hours while she slows down the orgasm.

Dr. Richard Viney, a urological surgeon of the consultant in the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, warned excessive use of pornography for excitement could have the real world.

“A man can notice that he needs pornography to get excited instead of the presence and touch of his partner,” he said.

Excessive use of online content for adults can also lead to a little known condition called porn addiction.

Experts say that this is most common in people who use pornography as an escape, such as from stress or depression.

Research suggests that no less than one in 20 British have problematic porn use, which means that their habit has a broader negative impact on their lives.

However, experts warn that estimates of how many people can live with a porn addiction are inherently unreliable.

Many patients prevent them from seeking professional help because of shame and shame of their condition or fear of exposure.

Such feelings can also contribute to men who do not seek help for erectile dysfunction.

It is thought that the condition processed about half of the men older than 40.

Although most cases are insulated and nothing to worry about, repeated or long -term impotence must be checked by a doctor.

This is not only because it can usually be treated easily through medicines such as Viagra, but because ED can also be a potential indicator for serious health problems.

These include issues such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, diabetes, hormone balances and psychological problems such as depression and anxiety.

Medicines such as Sildenafil, generic name for Viagra, can be used, as well as therapy if the impotence is caused by a psychiatric problem.

Millions of British men now use drugs to help impotence.

The latest data from NHS -supported data shows that nearly 5 million recipes for such medicines were distributed by GPs in England in 2024, at the expense of £ 15.5 million.

This data does not relate to the purchases, with a lot of High Street pharmacies, as well as online stores, which are now selling their own brand versions.
