Organic Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and/or maintain an erection. It can be normal if you're tired, stressed, or drunk but it can also happen due to several pathologies. One of the commonest types of ED is psychogenic ED, in which ED is caused by psychosocial factors rather than by organic disease. Depression, relationship problems, and anxiety are common culprits. On the other hand, organic ED can be caused by vascular diseases, endocrine diseases, neurological diseases, penile conditions and surgeries, malnutrition, and medications.
