Broadly, two forms of erectile dysfunction can affect men’s sex lives – the main cause is either medical or psychosocial. These can include issues in many realms, from issues with intimacy in a relationship to hormones and blood supply and could even extend to the possibility of serious conditions that are very important to address.

Often times, it is a physical issue causing difficulty and erectile dysfunction. Some of these include, heart disease, high cholesterol, obesity, Parkinson’s, Multiple sclerosis, thyroid disorders, various diseases, smoking, substance abuse, injuries in the pelvic region or spinal cord, radiation therapy to pelvic region and several other smaller physical issues.

Some of the more serious issues can be vascular issues inhibiting blood flow, and neurological causes that affect nerve signals, often due to underlying disease processes of atherosclerosis and diabetes.
