Weak Erections

A Weak Erection

A Weak Erection (also know as impotence or erectile dysfunction) is not a disease, but a secondary condition brought on by other, primary causes. It is a side effect, a symptom of something else. Thirty years ago, when men went to their doctors asking for help for erectile problems, they were told that there was no treatment because it was caused by aging, or it was all in their heads (psychological). A generation of research has been conducted in the intervening years.

The consensus of most authorities is that the table below represents an accurate distribution of the various causes of physical impotence.The important thing to remember is that most causes of impotence are physical and often beyond your control. While it is not good to have these physical problems (diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke or prostate disease, etc.), they are conditions you can probably accept and feel comfortable about trying to correct.

Diseases of the blood vessels

Vascular disease is the leading cause of impotence. Vascular disorders include arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), hypertension, high cholesterol and other conditions which interfere with blood flow. If poor blood flow occurs in the heart, or coronary vessels, it causes heart attacks; when it occurs in the brain it causes strokes; and when it occurs in the penis, it causes impotence.

Venous Leakage

Venous leakage occurs when the penile veins are unable to close off (constrict) properly during an erection. Constriction of the veins holds the blood in the penis to maintain the erection. When the veins “leak,” blood escapes too quickly back into the body, and the erection fails.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a very common cause of impotence. This disease can damage both blood vessels and nerves. When nerves are affected, the brain cannot properly transmit the sexual stimulus that creates an erection. About 50% of all diabetic men experience impotence after the age of 55.

Prescription drugs

Prescription drugs often cause Impotence as a side effect, and over 200 medications fall in to this category. Never change a dosage or stop taking a prescribed drug without the advice of your doctor.

Radical pelvic surgery

Radical pelvic surgery may also result in impotence. Surgical procedures involving the prostate gland the bladder or colon may sever the nerves involved in erectile response. Radiation treatment in this area can also affect the erectile process.

Deficiencies of the endocrine system

Deficiencies of the endocrine system are another source of erectile dysfunction. For example, low levels of testosterone or thyroid hormone often cause poor quality erections. Excessive production of prolactin by the pituitary gland may contribute to a low testosterone level and lack of desire. Diabetes is classified as an endocrine disease.

Substance abuse

Substance abuse affects erectile function as well. Illegal drugs and the excessive use of alcohol or cigarettes can seriously damage the blood vessels and nerves involved in a normal erection.

Neurologic disease

Nerve disease is another cause of a weak erection or impotence. Neurologic disorders affect the nervous system and include multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and spinal cord injury with paralysis.
