Psychological factors such as depression, anxiety, stress, and other mental conditions can result in erectile dysfunction. Depression is rated as the third most common reason for lack of erectile dysfunction in men. Depression is also associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Anxiety, while not an actual physical illness, can have an indirect impact on libido. Anxiety can increase feelings of shame and guilt, which can lead to decreased sexual pleasure and interest.
There are a number of different types of erectile dysfunction. There are two main categories; physical causes and psychological causes. Physical causes are mainly due to different types of physical illnesses; these include high blood pressure, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), diabetes, cardiovascular disease (stroke, heart attack), Parkinson’s disease, and liver disease. Psychological causes are often caused by stress, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder.
To treat the physical cause of ED, most health care providers recommend lifestyle and dietary changes. These may include increasing the amount of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages, losing weight, quitting smoking, and avoiding medications that can irritate the stomach, increase blood pressure, and increase blood sugar levels. Along with lifestyle and diet changes, ED can also be treated with prescription medications. For psychological causes, patients may be recommended to see a mental health professional for treatment including counseling, hypnotherapy, or other in-clinic treatments.
Today, there are a number of different methods of treatment available. Patients suffering from erectile dysfunction can explore their options at length. In a swipe exam, doctors can visually inspect the manhood to determine if the anatomy is functional. A digital or hydraulic instrument called the masturbation tool can be used to inspect the penis and urethra. A number of different devices can be used for examining penile dysfunction.
