Erectile Dysfunction Is Not Your Fault - Here’s How to Fix It

, , ,

What Is Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is a common problem that many men face. Don’t worry, his inability to ‘get it up’ doesn’t mean that your relationship is going down the drain. Men with erectile dysfunction struggle to stay erect for long enough have to have sex for medical reasons. 

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by so many things, including hormonal imbalances within the body. 

Hone in on Your Hormonal Issues

In order to effectively treat erectile dysfunction, you need to know what is causing it. Low testosterone, abnormal thyroid hormone levels, and high prolactin are the three most common hormone related causes. 

  • Since testosterone is one of the main male sex hormones, it makes sense that low-T (testosterone) levels sometimes lead to erectile dysfunction. While low-T isn’t a direct cause of erectile dysfunction, it may trigger a low libido or depression and can lead to erectile dysfunction.

  • Thyroid issues are related to both erectile dysfunction and low testosterone. Men with thyroid problems often have low testosterone levels as a side effect, which can lead to erectile dysfunction.

  • Having high prolactin levels also causes a decrease in testosterone levels. This leads to lower libidos and, you guessed it, erectile dysfunction. 

Finding Your Fix: How to Remedy Erectile Dysfunction

Because erectile dysfunction can be an underlying sign of more serious health problems, it’s crucial to get a hormone test if you or your partner are suffering from erectile dysfunction. Having this information can help you figure out the best treatment plan and get your sex life back on track.
