What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is not to be considered as a major defect. Think of it as a minor deficiency that can be readily treated and cured easily. We know that our human body is composed of uncountable number of nerves, tissues, blood vessels etc. Most of the nerves originate from the brain and distributes to all parts of our human body. At the time of sexual performance all of these parts work together in hand to perform erection. Failure to any of these parts to perform its role will result in dysfunction of the entire erection process. Moreover, human brain has to send electrical signals to the nerves and tissues required for erection.
This defect is either caused by psychological reasons or by physical reasons. Most of the times men have increased level of stress and anxiety that further hinder the sexual life. This mental incapability should be stifled by taking part in various counseling classes after consulting the doctor. Physical impossibility to this dysfunction is stimulated by a number of causes. These may include nerve damage caused by spinal cord injuries, brain trauma etc, unhealthy life habits caused by smoking, lack of proper exercise, overeating etc, high cholesterol, blood pressure and diabetics.
These physical and mental reasons should be controlled and cured before it affects other parts of the body. Excess consumption of drugs and hormone imbalances adds to this cause. Most of these physical causes can be cured to some extend by following a healthy food habits and a regular lifestyle. Surgical intercession can remove any damaged nerves or spoiled blood supply or any other impairments in the body. Any other diseases can also disturb the normal function of the nerves in penis which disrupts the erection process. There can be changes in the sexual balance caused by the various other diseases too. Aging of human body also causes malfunctioning of many nervous controls and cause dysfunction, especially in men older than 50 years.
Being depressed from this defect is not the correct solution to this defect. Depression creates increased stress level and excess production of unwanted hormones in the body.
