mans personal, professional and social life. Fortunately, erectile

Who is likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction?
Chances of developing this condition increases
with age. Studies have shown that approximately 50% of all men above the age of
40 years experience some problem with erection. Apart from increasing age,
following lifestyle factor also increase the risk of ED.
Primary Cause of
Impotence:
1)
Fear of failure In this the moment person thinks of going for
sex, he start fearing that I may fail again thus he loses confidence in his
sexual competence. This fear decreases his confidence further leading to
further worsening of sex dysfunction. Many times due to this fear patient
starts avoiding sex & his desire for intercourse decreases.
2)
Sexual Performance anxiety means development of severe anxiety
before real sex. Patient develops obsessive concern for full erection i.e.
whether or not he can get a normal erection and if he does whether he can keep
it long enough for intercourse to occur & his partner to be satisfied. Due
to this anxiety He tries to erect his penis hard by concentrating more on it
3)
Spectator attitude means whenever patient goes for sexual
activity though he may be touching the body of female but his brain is always
thinking and involuntarily (unconsciously) looking towards his penis i.e.
whether his penis is getting hard or not. This is called spying of penis
Excessive stress:
¬ Individuals under constant
stress & tension are more likely to develop ED.
Smoking:
¬ Smoking adversely affects
circulation of blood. Smokers are more likely to develop ED than non-smokers.
Even 2 cigarettes per day may have adverse effect on erection.
Excessive alcohol consumption:
¬ Alcohol provokes the
desire but takes away the performance. Alcohol has depressing effect on the
nerves & can interfere with your ability to get an erection.
Drug addiction:
Use of illicit drugs such as marijuana,
cocaine etc. has been reported to cause problem with erection. Apart from above
mentioned lifestyle factors certain medical diseases can also lead to
difficulty with erection.
The medical conditions which can lead to this
problem are:

alternative medication which may be less likely to interfere with erection.
