With either mental or physical stimulation, your brain signals the nerve
ending in the penis to release nitric oxide. Nitric oxide relaxes or
dilates blood vessels, enabling them to open up and bring more blood to
the penis and helping to create an erection. In this article, we will
discuss what causes erectile dysfunction in men.
1. Aging
Starting
at the age of 40 the levels of prolactin increases, stimulating the
conversion of dihydro-testosterone, causing enlarged prostate and
erection difficulty in some men.
2. Uncontrolled diet
Uncontrolled
diet that is high in saturated fat and trans fat causing excessive fat
build up in the arteries and veins in the penis. Remember that fat is
required for function of the brain but excessive intake of fat causes
fat to build up in the arteries as well as small veins in the penis and
brain. That is also the reason that some experts indicate that erectile
dysfunction in men is one of many symptoms of heart diseases and stroke.
3. Smoking
Nicotine
is a stimulative, it causes the depletion of oxygen in the bloodstream
resulting in the heart to beat faster than usual so that it can carry
more oxygen to the cells in our body. It also causes the deduction of
the amount of nitric oxide (the substance that relaxes or dilates blood
vessels, enabling them to open up and bring more blood to the penis and
helping to create and maintain an erection) released from the head of
the penis resulting in erectile dysfunction.
Cigarette fume contains high amounts of cadmium, the harmful and toxic
substance causing calcium to stick on the arterial wall resulting in
blocking blood flow to the penile veins creating erectile problems.
4. Excessive alcohol drinking
Excessive alcohol drinking over a long period of time not only damages the liver but also raises the levels of triglycerides in the blood.
It also leads to high blood pressure, heart failure and an increased
calorie intake causing the arteries and vessels in the penis to be
clogged up by harmful cholesterol resulting in erection difficulty.
5. Enlarged ProstateStudies
found that there are strong relations between lower urinary tract
symptoms and the rate of erectile dysfunction in men with symptoms of
enlarged prostate. The main role of the prostate gland is to squeeze
fluid into the urethra as sperm moves through during sexual climax. As
the prostate enlarges, the layer of tissue surrounding it stops it from
expanding, causing the gland to press against the urethra like a clamp
on a garden hose resulting in prostate gland muscles surrounding the
prostate making it contract and shrink down, increasing the erectile
problem.
6. High levels of LDL
The hardening and narrowing of
the arteries, causes a reduction in blood flow throughout the body
including the vessels in the penis, leading to impotence.
7. Hormone imbalance
Testosterone
deficiency can result in a loss of libido and loss of erection. An
excess of the hormone prolactin also reduces levels of testosterone.
Hormone imbalances can also result from kidney or liver disease.
8. Diabetes
Chronic
high levels of blood sugar often damages small blood vessels and nerves
throughout the body, impairing the nerve impulses and reducing the
blood flow needed for erection.
