Erectile Dysfunction - Risks & Causes

In a process as complex as penile erections, problems can occur for many reasons. Very often an erectile problem will have more than one cause. The causes may be physical (organic ED), psychological (psychogenic ED), or a combination of both. Distinguishing between physical and psychological causes is helpful, because treatments may differ depending on the cause.

Erectile Dysfunction

What is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be classified as organic, psychogenic or mixed. Organic ED is due to physical defects and can be further sub-classified. Psychogenic ED is secondary to psychological factors that are thought to inhibit a man's ability to achieve an erection because of specific stressors. ED often has a mixed component of both organic and psychogenic etiologies.
