Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is the inability to attain or retain an erection. Erectile dysfunction is one of the main causes of little sexual satisfaction after spending time between the covers. At some point in their lives, all men suffer from some form of erectile dysfunction, especially after they turn 60. Erectile dysfunction has given rise to many products for male performance enhancement, and has spawned a multi million dollar industry.

There are many causes of erectile dysfunction, but you should first understand the working of an erection before you try to understand the causes.

An erection takes places when you are aroused or stimulated because of certain things like seen a woman naked or some fantasy. The brain then transmits signals to the penis, which then gets ready to go into reproduction mode by filling up with blood. When the penis is in the normal, not excited state, the amount of blood entering the penis is the same as the amount of blood that comes out. After arousal, more blood starts flowing into the penis than what is coming out, and it starts filling up the spongy tissue chambers inside the penis called the Corpora Cavernosa and Corpus Spongiosom. Of course, veins carry all the blood to the penis, and after the penis is erect, the veins get blocked by the swollen Corpora Cavernosa, and the penis remains in erection. During this time, there is constant communication between the brain and the penis, and so the erection can be maintained.

When this process of first getting an erection and then retaining it is interrupted in any manner, then erectile dysfunction is caused. Yet why is the process interrupted? Well, there are many internal and external factors that contribute to the blockage. These are the real factors that influence erectile dysfunction.
