What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
There can be many causes behind erectile dysfunction, making it vital to consult with a member of our team to find out what might be the underlying issue for you. Some potential causes include:
• Obesity
• High blood pressure
• Certain prescription medications
• Treatments for prostate cancer
• Overuse of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs
• Diabetes
• Depression or stress
Several oral medications are available that can stimulate penile muscle relaxation, allowing them to become more responsive to natural libido. Other medications can be administered directly into the penis to produce an erection.
Some men can benefit from changes in their diet or exercise regimen, improving their success with weight loss, lowering blood pressure, or limiting tobacco or alcohol use.
It is also possible that erectile dysfunction can lead to a fear of intimacy, anxiety, or depression. Counseling is usually recommended to address mental health issues so that you can enjoy intimacy with your partner.
