Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

While Erectile Dysfunction becomes more common as men age, growing old is not the only cause of this problem. Though sexual function may decrease with age, many men enjoy sexual activity well into their senior years. Psychological problems, such as stress and anxiety can also contribute to Erectile Dysfunction. The recent studies show that the main causes of Erectile Dysfunction are, 

• Physical causes due to problems in hormones, reproductive system, or in the tissues responsible for causing erection
• Side effects due to medicines (blood pressure control, diabetes)
• Sometimes psychological factors such as stress, anxiety to perform or depression.

Symptoms of ED 

When a man has Erectile Dysfunction, the nerves or blood vessels in the penis don’t work properly. This prevents blood from flowing to the penis. And that can prevent an erection. Symptoms of erectile dysfunction include:

• Erections that are too soft for sexual intercourse
• Erections that are too brief for sexual intercourse
• An inability to achieve erections
• Maintain an erection that lasts long enough or is rigid enough to complete sexual intercourse

Erectile Dysfunction often leads to anxiety, depression, loss of self-esteem, and negative effect on their overall health.
