What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction, also called male impotence, is a sexual dysfunction that is characterized by the incapability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis, adequate for satisfactory sexual performance.
Erectile dysfunction occurs, when an erection is constantly difficult or impossible to attain, regardless of arousal.
Erectile Dysfunction Facts
- Erectile dysfunction is typified by the constant and regular incapability to achieve or maintain an erection.
- Occasionally, the individual can achieve a full erection, when he is asleep (i.e., when the mind is at rest, and psychological issues, if any, are less present).
- Some people might present with erections that are either not rigid or full, called lazy erection, or some have erections that are lost faster than expected (usually, before or during penetration). These features could be a sign of a malfunction in the mechanism which keeps blood held in the penis, and may indicate an underlying medical condition, often cardiovascular in origin.
Causes Of Erectile Dysfunction
- There are several, and often multiple underlying factors that are responsible for an erectile dysfunction.
- Cardiovascular diseases are the principal medical cause of male impotence.
- Metabolic disorders like diabetes are other important erectile dysfunction causes.
- Hormonal inadequacies.
- Neurological disorders, e.g. trauma after a prostatectomy surgery.
- Certain drug side effects.
- Psychological factors and stress.
