Impotence Linked to Restless Legs Syndrome
(HealthDay)
HealthDay - WEDNESDAY, June 15 (HealthDay News) --
Men who struggle with restless legs syndrome face a higher risk of impotence, a new study suggests.
Men who experienced restless legs syndrome symptoms up to 14 times a month were 68 percent more likely to struggle with erectile dysfunction, the study found.
The research was presented at SLEEP 2011, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, in Minneapolis. Because the study was presented at a medical meeting, the conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
