Erectile Dysfunction Causes
According to findings published in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, “The most common cause of organic erectile dysfunction is vasculogenic causes.” 1 Vascular causes include abnormalities of the arteries (lack of sufficient blood flow into the penis) and/or veins (excessive drainage of blood, known as venous leakage.) Arterial problems are typically caused by the hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis.)
Neurological dysfunction is thought to be the second most prevalent cause of ED. Another common culprit of ED is a hormonal deficiency when the body does not produce enough testosterone. This condition is known as hypogonadism. Lastly, impotence may be a side effect of certain medications used to treat allergies, depression, or high blood pressure.
