Do you know that almost 30 million men in the U.S suffer from erectile dysfunction? Even though the problem usually affects men over 40, you will be surprised to know that men in their 20s and 30s are not immune.
Erectile dysfunction is not just a physical problem but a psychological one too. It is important to identify the causes, risk factors and triggers, so that treatment can be effective and you are able to enjoy a happy sexual life.
Top 4 Unusual Causes of Erectile Dysfunction
Anabolic Steroids
Men who are into bodybuilding take anabolic steroids for muscle development. Even though they gain muscles the bad news is that the steroids interfere with the ability of the body to produce testosterone.
When adequate testosterone is not produced, it can result in erectile dysfunction. When the consumption of the steroids is stopped completely, the issues will slowly disappear.
Porn Addiction and Excessive Masturbation
Addiction to porn and excessive masturbation have been found to cause sexual dysfunction. Men who are addicted to porn will experience difficulty in achieving an erection in real life.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s disease is a condition that results in painful erections. Injury to penile tissues, genetic deformities and build-up of scar tissues are the common causes for this painful condition. If the pain is severe it is best to seek expert help.
High Blood Pressure
A good erection requires adequate supply of blood to the penis region. High blood pressure damages the arteries and affects their ability to carry blood. This can cause premature ejaculation and a loss of interest in sex.
Erectile dysfunction is a sensitive topic for most men. Most of them are embarrassed to seek help and this can affect their ability to satisfy their partner in bed. Awareness about the different unusual causes can ensure proper treatment.
