Some of the causes linked to this distressing problem are anything from physical conditions to psychological issues.  Lifestyle can also be a factor.

Physical Problems That Could Lead To Impotence

It is only in recent times that this condition has been taken seriously by the medical profession.  More often than not doctors treated Impotence as a psychological problem, more in the mind, not likely to be a physical one.

Now it is known that as many as 70 per cent of cases reported were found to have a physical reason behind them.

Physical Reasons Causing Impotence Include:

Injury – Injuries, especially the pelvic and groin area are often found to cause damage to nerves and surrounding tissue which can lead to arousal dysfunction.

Reduced levels of testosterone – more likely to occur as we get older.  Levels can deplete and with this sex drive tends to reduce and erections can be more difficult and harder to sustain.

Medication – There are certain drugs which may be given for conditions such as depression, angina and blood pressure that can lead to erections problems.  Some anti histamines and appetite suppressants have also been linked to low libido.

Reduced Blood Flow – More commonly known for erection dysfunction and libido problems, it can be treated quite easily though, and smoking and drinking can attribute to this.  Blood flow to the penis is vital in order to achieve an erection.

Psychological Reasons behind Impotence

Apart from blood flow problems ( the main issue) stress and anxiety come a close second. Work, mortgages, bills all attribute alongside tiredness.  Anger, Fear, Guilt are feelings that are commonly associated with erection problems.

Lifestyle – Drinking too much, smoking and drugs are negative influences, along with weight gain.  These can all lead to impotence.
