It can be devastating to the self-esteem of a man when afflicted by erectile
dysfunction. And so it needs to find the causes for it.
Older men
While arousal takes longer as a man ages, chronic erectile dysfunction needs attention. Today, urologists believe that physical factors underlie the majority of cases of persistent erectile dysfunction in men over age 50.
Because erections primarily involve the blood vessels, the most common causes in older men are conditions that block blood flow to the penis, such as atherosclerosis or diabetes.
Another vascular cause may be a faulty vein, which lets blood drain too quickly from the penis.
The vascular processes that produce an erection are controlled by the nervous system and so sometimes certain prescription medications may have the side effect of interfering with necessary nerve signals. Among the possible culprits are a variety of stimulants, sedatives, diuretics, antihistamines and drugs to treat high blood pressure, cancer or depression. Nevertheless you need to have medical treatment for these cases. In addition, alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs, such as marijuana, may also contribute to the dysfunction.
Other physical disorders, as well as hormonal imbalances and certain operations, may also result in erectile dysfunction.

Psychological problems are the
likeliest reason for erectile dysfunction. Tension and anxiety may arise from
poor communication with the sexual partner or a difference in sexual
preferences. The sexual difficulties may also be linked to these factors:
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Stress
- Feelings of inadequacy
- Personal sexual fears
- Rejection by parents or peers
- Sexual abuse in childhood
