Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, is a digestive disorder that affects the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the ring of muscle between the esophagus and stomach. Many people, including pregnant women, suffer from heartburn or acid indigestion caused by GERD.
Exercise regularly. Strong evidence links a sedentary lifestyle to erectile dysfunction. Running, swimming, and other forms of aerobic exercise have been shown to help prevent ED. Watch out for any form of exercise that puts excessive pressure on the perineum, which is the area between the scrotum and anus.
Affecting an estimated 30 million men in the U.S. alone, ED can be treated orally with what have come to be commonly-known medications such as Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and now Stendra â the first erectile dysfunction drug FDA-approved in 10 years.
