What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is the difficulty in achieving an erection, or the inability to maintain an erection and reach climax (ejaculation). Some men that are diagnosed with ED can achieve a partial erection; however, they struggle to reach a full erection. Although many men experience symptoms regularly, some men with ED will experience symptoms sporadically, and the erection issues may not always be present.
Common Causes
With a healthy erection, the brain provides a signal to the spinal cord to increase blood flow to the pelvic region. Once a substantial amount of blood flows to the penis, an erection occurs. However, if the blood doesn’t flow properly to the penis, men will begin to experience erectile dysfunction.
Many causes of ED are centered around conditions that impact the body's nerves or vessels that carry blood throughout the body, below are just a few common causes:
- Abuse of alcohol or drugs
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- Neurological system injuries
- Medications that are used for neurological function or blood flow altering
- Blood vessel injuries or diseases
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Hormonal problems, like low testosterone
- Pelvic area injuries
- Exposure of the pelvic region to radiation
- Psychological problems like anxiety, depression or self-esteem
