Erectile dysfunction is extremely common. Approximately 50% of Canadian men over age 40 experience ED symptoms. That percentage only increases with age, and many cases go unreported entirely.
Many suffer in silence, feeling ashamed or self-conscious about their sexual health challenges. Yet the conversation is shifting.
Public awareness of erectile dysfunction is increasing. Our understanding of the causes of erectile dysfunction is improving. More people desire emotionally available partners who take charge of their physical and mental health.
Erectile dysfunction is treatable and most men can return to healthy sexual function. There are potential options to treat ED that may be perfect for you. You can start by asking yourself one question:
It is important to consider the mental and emotional aspects of erectile dysfunction. These factors directly affect your ability to achieve or maintain an erection.
The following can contribute to erectile dysfunction:
The truth is that psychological contributors to ED are different for everyone. But how do you know if your ED is psychological?
Can you only manage erectile function under certain circumstances, such as during masturbation? Have you ruled out physical causes with a healthcare professional? If either or both of these are true, you may have psychological erectile dysfunction.
In most cases, psychological factors act alongside biological ones to perpetuate ED symptoms. Addressing these factors is crucial to treat ED.
Your physical, mental and emotional health are tightly linked. For example, physical ED symptoms may result in feelings of frustration or shame.
These feelings then serve to reinforce your physical dysfunction, fueling a cycle. Depression or anxiety can affect your biological balance, contributing to physical erectile challenges. Your mental health is a major predictive factor for your sexual function.
