Cause Of Erectile Dysfunction |

Cause of Erectile DysfunctionThe topic of erectile dysfunction or ED, is not a comfortable one for any man, but it one that seems to be coming up quite frequently! We've all seen the commercials for Viagra and Cialis, and the latest herbal supplements to treat erectile dysfunction, and you never know who the next celebrity sponsor will be! Guess it's not as "hush hush" as it used to be as evidenced by all these advertisements. Erectile dysfunction can only be diagnosed by a medical doctor, and shouldn't be self-treated in any case without knowing the exact cause. Even though there are many products sold to treat the symptoms of ED, they have not all been adequately tested and therefore not approved by the FDA for treatment of ED. Beware of products that make questionable claims that are not substantiated by credible research. According to numerous reliable online sources, there is more than one cause of erectile dysfunction, which can have either physical or psychological origins, and in some cases both. Physical or organic causes of ED can be due to chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol, low testosterone levels, prostate cancer, and diabetes, in addition to certain systemic and respiratory conditions. Certain medications such as anti-depressants, anti-psychotics, anti-hypertensives, anti-ulcer drugs, prostate cancer treatments, and cholesterol lowering drugs can be the cause of erectile dysfunction, as well as alcohol and illicit drug use. Erectile dysfunction can also develop in aging men, or be related to depression due to the loss of a spouse. Other psychological causes may also be present, such as stress at home or work, or trouble in a relationship. Post-trauma or injury to the penis or pelvic region, either by accident or during certain surgical procedures, can affect the blood supply and pelvic nerves laying the groundwork for ED to develop. As you can see, determining the exact cause of erectile dysfunction is essential to getting the right treatment, and can only be found via a thorough physical examination by a qualified health care professional. There are effective treatments available no matter what the cause, and it is possible for men with this condition to reach full erection and maintain it in spite of these obstacles. As recommended, be sure to consult a physician to determine the exact cause of erectile dysfunction, so that the most appropriate course of treatment can be implemented.
