Erectile dysfunction is typically diagnosed if a man fails to maintain an erection more than half the times he tries to have sexual activity. However, there are, several specific causes of erectile dysfunction.

In some men, “performance anxiety” can create stress making it impossible to relax and enjoy making love.

Erectile dysfunction may be an indicative of generalized cardiovascular disease. An erection is the result of the blood flow increased into certain internal areas of the penis.

A large number of commonly prescribed medications may cause erectile dysfunction. Diseases that involve nerve damage can also lead to erectile dysfunction. In diabetics, peripheral neuropathy can lead to erectile dysfunction. Multiple sclerosis, a stroke, surgery or radiation to treat prostate cancer can also damage nerves involved in erections.
