Causes Of Erection Difficulties

Causes Of Erection Difficulties
Though it may seem to be a natural and effortless
occurrence, performing sexual intercourse requires any
number of physical functions in both men and women to
occur. In the absence of these physical functions occurring
as they normally do, sexual intercourse can be difficult or
even impossible to perform. Though women can and do have
difficulty with sexual functioning, what's likely the most
commonly occurring sexual dysfunction is a man being unable
to achieve erection.

Male erectile problems are a regular occurrence, though
they certainly don't happen to all men with any degree of
frequency. Erectile problems are common enough that there's
a medical terminology to describe the problem. The specific
medical term for erection difficulty is erectile
dysfunction, or ED. As there's a medical term for erection
difficulties, there's also naturally enough pharmaceuticals
available to treat the disorder. Pharmaceuticals for the
treatment of erection problems in fact have nearly become
household names, with the Viagra brand leading the way.

Treatment options aside, what are the actual causes at work
when a male is unable to achieve an erection? There are
obviously various possible explanations for the difficulty,
but a few baseline reasons typically cover much of the
problem. One possible explanation is anxiety. Males may
feel as though they are under obligation to take the lead
in sexual performance, and to be always pleasing to their
partners. This sort of expectation pressure can lead to
performance anxiety, which when significantly internalized
can prevent the male from being able to sexually function
at all.

There are also medical conditions that can prevent a male
from achieving an erection. Problems with the prostate
gland can affect erection capability. The prostate is in
direct proximity to the penis and an irregular prostate, a
condition older men tend to have, can disrupt erection as
well as cause urinary problems. Diabetes is another
condition that's linked to erection difficulties. The issue
with diabetes and poor erection capability is almost
certainly a result of the circulatory problems that
diabetes can cause. Circulation is an essential but often
overlooked component of consistently being able to achieve
an erection.

Stress is often another factor in erection difficulties.
Modern life presents a multitude of challenges and
difficulties. Many people, men included, often feel
overburdened and underappreciated. There's also the stress
that can occur from a specific problem cropping up, as
often seems to happen in most of our lives. Under enough
stress, any person is going to be compromised in how they
are able to physically perform. Still, stress rarely
remains in place indefinitely, and once stress has drained
off, erection problems caused by stress will become
resolved.
