What causes ED?

Erectile dysfunction can result from a combination of physical, psychological, and lifestyle related factors. Physical causes include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and hormonal imbalances. Neurological disorders like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis can also contribute. Psychological factors such as anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship issues often play a role, sometimes making the condition worse even when a physical cause is present. Lifestyle choices like smoking, excessive alcohol use, poor diet, and lack of exercise can restrict blood flow and worsen erectile function. In many cases, medications used to treat other health conditions may also interfere with erections. Identifying the root cause through medical evaluation is essential to choosing the right treatment
