What causes erectile dysfunction?

Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by a variety of physical and emotional factors. Common physical causes include poor blood flow, high blood pressure, diabetes, and hormone-related issues. Certain medications, smoking, alcohol use, and being overweight can also contribute. Psychological causes such as stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns can make the condition worse. Often, it's a mix of both body and mind factors. As people get older, the risk increases, but ED is not an inevitable part of aging. Understanding the cause is key to finding the right solution. A health checkup can help identify whether a medical condition or lifestyle factor is contributing, and addressing these may improve overall health and daily life satisfaction.
