What causes Erectile Dysfunction?

In a great number of cases, erectile dysfunction is closely tied to the natural aging process, a decline in testosterone, and other age-related factors. However, erectile dysfunction is often a multifactorial condition, meaning there may be more than one cause at work. Many men don’t realize that ED can strike at any age—even in young men. Common causes and risk factors associated with ED include:

Age
Hormone imbalance
Obesity
Diabetes

Certain medications
Certain treatments for BPH and prostate cancer
Trauma
Depression/Stress/Anxiety
Psychological factors
Excessive alcohol consumption
Drug use
Heart disease
Clogged blood vessels (atherosclerosis)

High blood pressure
Metabolic syndrome — a condition involving increased blood pressure, high insulin levels, body fat around the waist and high cholesterol
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis
Tobacco use

Alcoholism and other forms of substance abuse
Sleep disorders
Surgeries or injuries that affect the pelvic area or spinal cord
