Aspirin and Impotence

[Dugger Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Dugger]

I've read somewhere that NSAID'S (non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drugs) can cause erection difficulties. I was wondering if anyone thinks taking (1)- 325mg. aspirin daily, would cause any problems.Thanx

At this dose (325mg daily), aspirin has no anti-inflammatory effect. The anti-inflammatory effects start when you take 1g or more per day. So I don't think that you have to worry about this medication (everything depends on why it was prescribed to you!).
Take care

Why are you taking the aspirin daily may I ask?

My endocrinologist recommends taking 81 mg daily to improve circulation.Therefore, it should help erections.

Yes 81 mg makes the blood a bit thinner which helps improve the circulation but there are other ways to do the same thing without aspirin for example, taking the omega 3 capsules 1-2 grams per day. Personally I prefer the omega's than aspirin!

Part of the reason is for possible prevention of heart attack or stroke. The MAIN reason is because I read where Monty, from Thunders, stated that he takes an aspirin for his heart everyday, and believes this also slows down the healing process ,assuring his ligs will not heal before his next hanging session. Of course he also uses his PE Weights for this reason too.Who knows,might be of benefit for our purposes.

When it is prescribed for heart problems or prevention, aspirin is almost always given at low dose and this shouldn't affect at all the healing process.
And by the way if you're taking aspirin for prevention, the lower dose, the better: 81 mg is as efficient as 325 mg, with less secondary effects (risk of bleeding)!

You want to prevent a heart attack? Try exercise it has far less side effects and studies tend to show that it's actually healthy for you. Omega 3 have a far more beneficial effect at lowering cholesterol and thus reducing plaque which causes your heart to attack you.As far as pe is concerned, aspirin won't do squat except eventually burn a hole in your stomach!

Too much aspirin has horrible side effects. I know a young girl who claimed she started to lose hear hearing due to aspirin. She was drugging several times the maximum does for a particular over the counter medication that included an aspirin component... the reasons for this are a complete tangent to the discussion...

There seems to be some merit to what she told me:
REGULARLY popping painkillers such as aspirin and ibuprofen can significantly increase the danger of going deaf, new research has revealed.

I prefer fish oil or ginkgo to aspirin.
