Frequently Asked Questions About Erectile Dysfunction

What Else Causes ED?

Besides different prescriptions or drugs, other medical and lifestyle factors could cause erectile dysfunction. According RxWiki, diseases affecting nerves, blood flow or the muscles may result in ED. Diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart disease cause the majority of ED cases. Individual risk factors for these conditions, such as heavy drinking, smoking, obesity and lack of physical activity may also play a role. Because mental and psychological factors significantly affect sexual arousal, these factors can also cause or worsen ED.
