What are the causes of erectile dysfunction in men?

Men's erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, has many causes, including psychological reasons, unreasonable diet structure, and some other bad living habits. For example, long-term smoking and drinking can easily lead to insufficient blood flow to the penis. In addition, reproductive system diseases are an important cause of erectile dysfunction.

1. Psychological factors

For example, the tension and anxiety caused by the lack of sexual knowledge in newlyweds, the emotional discord between husband and wife, the heavy mental burden and indulgence in lust, excessive sexual intercourse, and excessive sexual activity can all lead to impotence.

2. Unreasonable diet structure

The incidence of "rich neck" caused by consuming large amounts of protein, fat, cholesterol and high-calorie foods is very high among white-collar workers and is showing a trend of younger age. It can be said that these diseases are eroding the health of the younger generation while quietly eroding their "sexual happiness".

3. Bad habits such as alcoholism and smoking

Clinical surveys and analyses have found that the prevalence of complete erectile dysfunction in male heart disease patients who smoke and non-smokers is 56% and 21% respectively, and the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in male liver disease patients who drink and non-drink are 70% and 25% respectively. Moreover, half of them are unable to prevent impotence and restore erectile function even after quitting drinking for many years.

4. Reproductive system diseases

For example, prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia, epididymitis, varicocele, etc. can often lead to impotence. Some middle-aged and elderly patients suffer from impotence due to prostatitis and prostatic hyperplasia. It is recommended that if you have impotence, it is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible to do erectile function tests and other related sexual function tests, and then consider treatment based on the test results.
