What causes low penis blood flow

It’s quite common to have significantly reduced blood flow in the penis.

Here’s a study of blood flow in the penis that uses a Doppler technique using ultrasound imaging.

The ultrasounds show the severity of the problem in the male penis.

The tests show men that they are not getting enough blood flow to get good quality erections.

Or maybe they just do not have enough blood flow to keep good erections for very long.

This disease is often called penile arterial insufficiency.

If you think about the hair-thin arteries feeding the penis with blood, it’s not surprising flow can be an issue.

You can imagine what happens when they become inflexible and rigid and clogged with plaque.

The result is arterial insufficiency.

And without enough blood flow, plaque and calcification build up in the erection chambers and arteries in the penis.

This buildup leads to penile fibrosis.

And then the penile fibrosis causes more plaque and calcification — it’s a bad cycle.

The thing is though, this low blood flow problem isn’t just about the penis.

It’s a problem throughout the entire body.

It’s a result of chronic internal inflammation in the body.

This inflammation may lead to erection problems.

And in many men, it can lead to heart disease or stroke.

In many men, it starts with high blood pressure as the earliest symptom.

But it may also lead to GERD, acid reflux, or irritable bowel syndrome.

Men who have ED and who have low blood flow down there are at very high risk for heart disease and stroke for this reason.

So this is a study that tries to determine how we can predict who has penile blood insufficiency.

And it looks at how this could lead to or be caused by inflammation in the body.

In this study, researchers found that men who had arterial insufficiency in the penis also had inflammation in their entire body.

Inflammation was determined by the test called C-reactive protein, or CRP test.

And to get the best results, they used the HS-CRP blood test, the high-sensitivity CRP test.

It’s an easy test to get done.

So they did an ultrasound, and then they did a CRP blood test, and they correlated the two results.

And they show that if your numbers are over .15, you may have enough inflammation to affect blood flow to the penis.

From here it is a very simple to decide what you should do.

The doctors will want you to take all kinds of expensive drug company medications to try to fix your erection problems.

Now, I’m not one to tell you not to listen to your doctor.

I’m not smart enough to be able to tell you that.

And I’m hopelessly unqualified.

But if it were me, I would focus on nutrition and certain supplements that can reduce inflammation in the body first.

The focus should be on reducing inflammation in the gut and in the liver.

Because gut and liver problems are easily fixable.

And often, fixing those gut and liver problems will fix the internal inflammation.

At this point, arteries can actually become more flexible, and plaque and fibrosis can reverse and even disappear.
