Trouble Achieving An Erection
Getting an erection in males is one of the most complicated and mysterious phenomenon of human body. It is very disappointing and threatening at the very least for a man to go through trouble in achieving an erection to satisfy his partner in bed. In case of younger men with erectile dysfunction, the trouble of getting an erection and keeping it firm enough for the end of sexual intercourse is mainly due to emotional issues. Sometimes, recreational drugs and alcohol abuse can also contribute to cause issues in achieving an erection to have a sexual intercourse. A decrease in blood flow typically causes erectile dysfunction which results in the symptoms like trouble getting an erection and maintaining it. In case of older men, the narrowing of blood vessels surrounding the penis might lead to issues with getting an erection.
There are probably no mental issues or causes behind getting an erection but in fact, a combination of physical problems with emotional ones contribute in difficulty to get firm erections. Almost any medical condition that affects your blood vessels or nerves could harm your ability to have better erections. Some of these medical conditions include high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, and diabetes that can lead to erectile dysfunction symptoms. About 50% of the men with diabetes suffer from erection issues. Hormonal issues like low testosterone levels can also add to the difficulty to get firm erections that last longer for a satisfactory sexual intercourse. In addition, prostate cancer and its treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy might be the culprit of causing erectile dysfunction which leads to erection issues. If you are having erections while sleeping or in the morning then the problem is not of physical nature.
