OVERWEIGHT AND POTENCY

Is it true that being overweight so strongly affects the potency?
And the second question (seriously): the husband (he is 54) a small adenoma of the prostate (it is not growing, but it takes place). Does it on reproduction, we have a great difference in age, we are planning a baby?
Elis.

In fact, obesity is one of the proven risk factors for erectile dysfunction. In the presence of obesity arise not only vascular disorders in the penis, as well as reduced levels of male sex hormone testosterone. That in turn contributes to a decrease in erection and sexual desire. To date, it is assumed that waist circumference for men should not be greater than 102 inches at the navel. And body mass index should not be more than 25 units.
Adenoma of the prostate gland often leads to weakening of the jet of urine and is accompanied by frequent urination. But clear evidence of its impact on reproductive function of today does not exist. But sometimes big mouth parts squeezing the vas deferens, may cause a problem. In order to determine the reproductive function, you'd better deliver sperm and immediately everything will become clear whether your husband is ready to conceive. And his age in this case, nothing says.
