Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction, also known as impotence, happens to most men at one time or another, but is mostly common in older men and is associated with their aging process. Occasional impotence is not seen as a problem, however, when the problem occurs often enough, it can bring emotional distress to both the man and his partner.
What are the causes of impotence?

• Psychological causes – Impotence can be caused by psychological reasons such as fear, worry, stress, anger, depression and can be triggered by a lack of interest in sex or the sexual partner.
• Physical causes – Impotence can also be caused by physical triggers:
