Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is a common problem among men around the world. One in ten men has a problem achieving or sustaining an erection in their lives. This is a common problem affecting as many as fifteen million men in the United States alone. By the time most men are in their forties, they have already experienced impotence at some time in their lives. The important thing is if you have a problem that does not seem to be improving you are able to get help.

It is estimated that up to 90% of the cause of erectile problems have a psychological cause. This can range from relationships difficulties, performance anxiety or a deeper more complex cause.

Problems arise when this difficulty starts occurring regularly. Men afflicted with repeated erectile dysfunction tend to be middle-aged and older. Regardless of age, many men who have this problem can be treated successfully.



Diabetes
Both forms of diabetes, Type 1 (insulin-dependent) and Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent), are common causes of ED: men who have diabetes are 3 times more likely to have ED than other men. Diabetes contributes to impotence because it can damage blood vessels and cause a type of nerve damage known as peripheral neuropathy.

Depression
Many men find that when they're suffering from depression, they can't get or keep an erection. Asking your doctor for treatments for depression may help alleviate your erection problems as well.

Medications
Some medications can cause erection problems as a side effect, including: diuretics; high blood pressure medications; cholesterol-lowering drugs; diabetes medications; antidepressants; cancer treatments; non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; and epilepsy medications.

If you experience impotence after starting a new medication, tell your doctor, who may be able to prescribe a different medication for you. You should also tell your doctor about any over-the-counter medicines or complementary remedies that you may be taking.

Smoking
Smoking contributes to vascular disease, so it can contribute to erectile dysfunction by affecting blood flow to the penis.

Surgery
Surgery to organs near the nerve pathways of the penis, such as the bladder, rectum and prostate, can cause nerve or artery damage to the penis, resulting in the inability to have an erection
