| Q) What causes erectile dysfunction apart from
psychological reasons. |
Ans: Erectile dysfunction may be related to various psychogenic and
physical factors. In healthy young men, it is mostly psychogenic.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence has been present since creation of man
and increases gradually with age and is much higher than expected.
A proper sexual and medical history as well as a focused physical
examination allows to reach diagnosis in most cases. Investigations are
ordered if deemed necessary to confirm a certain condition or direct
future treatment. Many organic factors could also be involved in the
development of impotence. Organic impotence could be related to vascular
risk factors, neurological factors, hormonal factors, medical illnesses or
drug induced.
The general advice regarding preservation of potency and health is to avoid smoking,
drugs and alcohol, as well as to control general medical disorders mainly high
blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. Exercise and healthy living
(avoiding excess fatty foods and dairy products) are also advisable.
