Men having problems in the bedroom often leaven women unhappy and that is not a good sign for the relationship. However, a recent study will make men have something to celebrate about, as alcohol is said to help them get an erection unlike previously thought.

According to a recent report in the Elite Daily, a urologist has stated that drinking alcohol might actually help all men get an erection unlike thought earlier. Dr. Alex Shteynshlyuger, director of urology at New York Urology Specialists said that the glass actually helps men beat anxiety and give them an erection. On the other hand, if men drink too much of alcohol, the toxins that the liver can’t break down go to the other parts of the body including the penis which may make it difficult for men to get an erection.

Shteynshlyuger further added that anything good for the heart is good for the penis while also emphasizing on certain aspects like regular exercise like running and hitting the gym is important to keep the penis in optimal health. Quitting cigarettes because nicotine narrows down blood vessels and causes erection problems and monitoring the type of supplements taken while bodybuilding are other necessary tips for a healthy erection.

While consuming food and drinks excessively is a problem, checking cholesterol and blood pressure and testosterone and thyroid levels is also important for men who are having problems getting an erection.
