Erectile Dysfunction Causes

A process as complex as the erection, involving not only genital organs, but also brain, heart and blood vessels can be negatively affected by many physical and psychological risk factors. Such a common condition as ED has one of the most common cause, yet not by far the only one: age. 65 % of men over the age of 65 suffer from impotence.

Physical risk factors of ED can derive from a serious heart conditions, prostate cancer, diabetes or Peyronie's disease, to name just a few. To that there can be added the psychological determination: stress, anxiety, depression, guilt, but also life-style factors such as alcohol, smoking and a sedentary way of living.
Statistically speaking, erectile dysfunction is 90% determined by physical factors, only 10% of the reported patients blaming psychological conditions.
