Insights from Research on Alcohol Consumption and Cigarette Smoking
There is evidence suggesting that alcohol consumption and cigarette smoking could be associated with the development of Peyronie's Disease (PD).
One study found that cigarette smoking may increase the risk of PD, with 40% of smokers affected compared to 26% of non-smokers.
Additionally, alcohol use has been linked to metabolic conditions such as hyperlipidemia, where elevated lipid levels, including cholesterol and triglycerides, can impact overall health.
Exploring the Role of Lifestyle Factors in Peyronie's Disease
Certain lifestyle factors may contribute to heart disease and blood circulation issues, which in turn can be associated with hypertension and may increase the risk of developing Peyronie's Disease (PD).
Additionally, the use of medications like beta-blockers for hypertension has been observed in some patients with PD.
Many healthcare professionals recommend making lifestyle changes to help improve overall health and potentially reduce the risk of conditions linked to PD. These may include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding illegal substances.
