HOME - Info - Erectile Dysfunction Causes

This section of the ED Rx USA website includes information about erectile dysfunction causes. What are the main causes of erectile dysfunction. What can be done in order to remedy this male condition?

There are two fundamental reasons for not being able to achieve or sustain an erection: medical problems and psychological problems. The two often are intertwined. It's natural to develop emotional problems as a result of coping with a physical problem, and ED is no exception. But we'll talk about the physical reasons for ED first.

Many men with diabetes develop erectile dysfunction during their young- and middle-adult years, although their physicians frequently fail to make them aware of this complication. Since the arteries and veins are so critical to achieving and maintaining an erection, any disease or disorder that damages them or impairs blood flow through them can cause ED.

In addition to diabetes, kidney disease, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, atherosclerosis, and vascular disease account for about 70 percent of all cases of ED. Other risk factors for erectile dysfunction include hypertension (high blood pressure); hyperlipidemia (excess fat or lipids in the blood); hypogonadism (decreased activity of the reproductive glands); endocrine disorders; smoking; anemia; trauma or injury to the pelvis or spine; coronary artery disease; Peyronie disease (a painful curvature of the penis, making penetration impossible); disease of the erectile tissue of the penis; vascular, colon, or prostate surgery; and depression.
