The causes of erectile dysfunction can have both organic and psychogenic character. The vast majority of episodes of erectile dysfunction are due to a mixed nature.

Physical (organic) causes of erectile dysfunction include hypertension, atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, Peyronie’s disease, a lack of testosterone and the effects of trauma or surgery in the spinal cord/pelvic area.

Psychogenic causes of ED include mental disorders, depression and stress. The development of erectile dysfunction in men can also be promoted through the use of certain medications (lowering blood pressure, antispasmodics, tranquilizers, antidepressants, etc), drug or alcohol consumption and smoking.

Very often, the basis of reduced potency is due to very specific, mundane reasons which are the subject of medical research. Epidemiological studies show that currently 15% of childless couples do not have offspring because of sexual dysfunction which is attributed to the male. Studies conducted in the U.S. found that more than half of men older than 40 years of age suffered from sexual dysfunction in one way or another, and only 10% reported these problems to doctors. The reasons are obvious, the ‘weak potency’ phrase has negative associations enlivened in the imaginations of sufferers which produce a picture of a lack of courage, defeat and weakness.

In addition, sexual disorders require the discussion of intimate problems of particular delicacy which the sufferer may not entrust to any doctor. This pathological condition has not lost its relevance and each year affects millions of the males as impotence is a malfunction of the natural course of their existence.

However, the recent large-scale study of the sexual culture of the people of England found that most respondents considered the problem of ED related to both partners and treatment would be carried out by both. This shows that people are shedding the stereotype which was popular in the past days and are ceasing to perceive malfunctions of potency as exclusively a male’s problem.

The fact that almost 50% of respondents, who said if they were to experience problems with potency would consider proper medical attention, is encouraging. The figures show that, on these issues, women are sexually open to a greater extent than men, who often prefer to ignore or hide such problems. A natural and full sex life is an important component of male’s health, regardless of age. Every man wants to look young, active, strong, confident and sexy in eyes of every woman. Therefore, ED is often the reason for the decline in male self-esteem and the deterioration, or even rupture, of family and couple relationships.

The relationship between male’s health and family well-being has been known for a long time. If something goes wrong sexually, the man, not the woman becomes angry, withdrawn and irritable. A similar condition occurs when a man is not fed. The well-known saying “The way to man’s heart is through his stomach” reflects that family well-being depends directly on the mental state of a man. When a man has everything in order and is satisfied with everything, there will be peace and harmony in the family.
