Teenage erectile dysfunction causes

Erectile dysfunction (impotence)

First, let's define the problem. ED means an inability to get a good enough erection to achieve satisfactory intercourse.

Some sufferers can't get a 'hard-on' at all. Others get one, but it isn't firm enough to penetrate the partner. And others can manage penetration for a bit, but then they lose it.

Why does ED occur?

ED is very common, and it occurs for a variety of reasons and at different ages.

Teenagers and young men

In younger males, the most frequent cause is anxiety – particularly nervousness about having sex, about causing a pregnancy or about using a condom.

A lot of men in this age group complain that they 'can't get on with a condom' because as soon as they try to put it on, they lose their 'stiffy'. We have termed this 'condom collapse syndrome'.

Common causes in this age group are overwork, stress, guilt and bereavement (ED often happens when a widowed man tries to form a new sexual relationship). A few cases are due to diabetes. Alcohol, nicotine and other drugs can be factors, as can obesity.

Post-middle age

In this group of men, ED gets commoner with increasing age. Nonetheless, 70 per cent of all 70-year-olds are sexually potent.

It is now clear that in a high proportion of cases, the problem is due to narrowing of the blood vessels that carry blood into the penis.

Research, which was carried out in 2007, suggests that in some older men who have erection difficulties, there may also be deterioration in the arteries of the brain or the heart.

In 2008, leading sex expert Dr Geoffrey Hackett said in the British Medical Journal, 'Erectile dysfunction is the manifestation of vascular disease in smaller arteries and can give a two to three year early warning of heart attack.'

But older men with ED should take care to protect themselves against strokes and heart attacks – for example by keeping their blood pressure and cholesterol down and getting an adequate amount of exercise. Also, at all costs they should avoid smoking.

You may be surprised to see that I have not listed 'lack of hormones' as a common cause of ED. In fact, lack of male hormone is pretty rare. However, it can occur particularly after severe injuries to the testicles or to the base of the brain.
