Common Causes of ED
Other conditions
Psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression, or stress can depress your brain's normal response to sexual stimuli and impede your ability to get an erection.
Kidney disease, liver disease, or hormonal disorders can throw off the delicate balance of the body’s processes, making it difficult for the normal erection process to occur.
Prescription and over-the-counter medicines such as high blood pressure medications, antidepressants and others are all drugs that may play a role in ED.
The prostate is a small gland near your bladder, which is next to the nerves that are needed for erections. This is why certain treatments for prostate problems can lead to ED.
Nerve trauma resulting from spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, stroke or surgery can interrupt the connection between the nervous system and the penis. For men with spinal injuries, ED is the most common sexual problem.
