There is individual variation, ranging from a complete inability to achieve an firmness, an inconsistent ability to do so, and the inability to maintain an firmness during intercourse. There are many possible causes for erectile dysfunction, because there is a complex sequence of events by which an firmness occurs.
Physical Causes of ED
Because the impulse for firmness begins in the brain, neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson’s can all lead to erectile dysfunction via injury to the nervous system in the brain. Physical trauma to the head, causing brain damage, can also have this effect, as can any surgery injuring nerves and arteries in the pelvis or around the Organ. Poorly controlled Diabetes causes damage to nerves and small blood vessels in the peripheral areas of the body, both of which can also cause erectile dysfunction. For more information on ways to naturally treat and manage this condition, please see our Diabetes article. Hormonal imbalances, such as low testosterone, are another cause of erectile dysfunction. For more information, please see our Low Testosterone article.
Lifestyle Causes of ED
Lifestyle factors that most commonly contribute to erectile dysfunction are the same as those that contribute to Heart Attack, and vascular diseases like Atherosclerosis. These include: smoking, obesity and alcoholism. Fatty deposits caused by atherosclerosis can clog arteries anywhere in the body, including those that feed the Organ. When blood cannot properly reach the body of the Organ, it results in a diminished or unattainable firmness. Similarly, weakened smooth muscle and poor vascular health cause blood to seep out of the Organ during firmness, which results in a loss of firmness over time despite continued sexual stimulation.
Outside Influences
There are a number of commonly prescribed medications, and recreational drugs that can cause erectile dysfunction as a side effect. Anti-depressants and anti-hypertensive drugs are both classes of medication that can commonly have this effect.
