An erection involves the central and the peripheral nervous system, psychological and stress-related reasons, local factors with the erection bodies or the penis itself, and hormonal and vascular (blood flow or circulation) components.
Sexual stimulation causes the release of chemicals from the nerve endings, present in the penis, to trigger a series of events. These events cause muscles in the penis, which are responsible for erection, to relax. These muscles dictate how much blood flow the penis receives and as the muscles relax, the blood flow goes up, and the erection becomes firm. Some of the most common ED causes are:
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a variety of factors, both physical and psychological. Among the physical causes are:
narrowing of the blood vessels leading to the penis – often associated with high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, or diabetes hormonal issues surgery or injury
Among the psychological causes of ED are:
Anxiety, depression, and relationship issues
Erectile dysfunction can occur only in certain circumstances. For example, you may be able to get an erection while masturbating, or you may occasionally wake up with an erection but are unable to get an erection with your sexual partner.
If this is the case, the underlying cause of erectile dysfunction is most likely psychological (stress related). If you are unable to obtain an erection under any circumstances, it is likely that you have a sexual dysfunction.
A large number of men experience an occasional failure to achieve an erection. A recent study by the Massachusetts Male Aging Study shows that almost 52 percent of males face erectile dysfunction sometime during their lifetime, which increases with age. By the age of 40, approximately 40 percent of men are affected with ED, whereas the figure increases to 70 percent for men in their 70s. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most prevalent problems for people in between 40 to 70 years. Overall, the higher the age range, the higher the probability of erectile dysfunction. Some recent studies, however, show that ed problems are now equally threatening youngsters.
