Patients can become very apprehensive about sharing their sexual health concerns with their physicians. Erectile Dysfunction can be an indication of health concerns such as diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol. These are some of the medical conditions that often associated with your problem. A healthy blood flow is critical for proper erectile functionality.

One of the physical problem which causes erectile dysfunction is preventing blood from flowing into the man’s penis, or remaining there long enough to allow the man to penetrate a female sex partner.

Nerve damage and hormonal deficiencies can all cause men’s penises to remain almost permanently flaccid. This is another reason for erectile dysfunction. The inability to become physically aroused might have a psychological cause. Due to the great cultural stigma attached to men’s “potency” these situations are often especially distressing for men who experience them.

The assumption is if there’s nothing wrong with you physically there must be something wrong with you spiritually, as a man. Mental causes are one of the reasons for erectile dysfunction. Of course, for the materialist this is rank superstition. Impractical and inhumane the pragmatist also finds society’s attitudes towards this matter.
