Erectile problems may signal bigger health issues

For guys out there who may be putting on less-than-stellar performances in the bedroom lately, there may be more at risk than your pride.

As men grow older, there is a natural decline in testosterone production that begins to occur at or around the age of thirty, dropping precipitously as decades pass. This can be partly to blame for erectile dysfunction in some cases, but in others it may be a sign that you are at risk for heart disease and type 2 diabetes.

Of course, many other factors can cause a man to have problems getting and maintaining an erection, such as bad diet, smoking, lack of exercise, and being forced to watch a "Golden Girls" marathon. Still, if you're having trouble, it's worth checking in with your doctor.
