Erectile Dysfunction and Psoriasis a new study

[Fred]

And all kinds of studies are nice, but have to be confirmed by a number of co-studies otherwise they are of no value. I can also do a study, e.g. A study that statistically shows that English studies are more wrong that right, but would I be right then?

Yes we have to have more larger studies, but at least small ones will help bring these things out into the open and will hopefully lead onto larger studies in the future. and like the conclusion said:

This study revealed an association between ED and prior psoriasis even after adjusting for potential confounding factors. The results of this study highlight a need for clinicians dealing with psoriasis patients to be alert to the possible development of ED.

I'm lucky and have never suffered with this problem and would imagine it could be very upsetting, but hopefully after reading this one person will be able to pluck up the courage to talk about it with their doctor.
I think the problem is two fold! #1 If you have psoriasis on the genital area it is not only painful, but difficult to talk about it unless you have an understanding partner. #2 It's a well known fact that psoriasis can give some people a Low Self Esteem, so this could be a huge underlying part of the reason for Erectile Dysfunction.

It's good to see some of the news that I find and publish, being talked about. And for me a small study even a very small study is worth it if it can help to get people talking about any problem related to psoriasis.

Oh and Caroline I wouldn't believe your study anyway, as you would tell us it's necessary for us all to go Spinning!
