Forms Of Erectile Disfunction

There are different types of erectile dysfunction, or what is commonly known as ‘male impotence’. The first type is called 'arteriogenic', and occurs when the arteries responsible for supplying blood to the penis do not function properly, thus making an erection impossible. This is very common among elderly men or those who suffer from diabetes, because in those cases the arteries have been narrowed considerably.

Inadequate blood supply through the arteries can also happen due to elevated blood pressure or injuries to the genital area, the second being a common cause for this condition among younger men. In fact often men are unaware of the fact that impotence could result from an injury, so are left bewildered when their external condition has healed but they are faced with the problem of erectile dysfunction. In such cases, the best bet would be to get a thorough check-up done by an andrologist.

The other type of erectile dysfunction is 'venogenic' in nature, which means the veins on the penis leak blood, leading to the lack of an erection. This is the most common cause of erectile dysfunction, and accounts for this condition in up to 70 percent of all men affected. Then there is 'neurogenic' impotence, which is the result of improper nerve supply and thus conduction to the muscles, often occurring after back or spinal cord injuries. Men who are diabetic are most susceptible to erectile dysfunction, and it could be either arteriogenic or neurogenic.

Hormonal impotence is the result of problem with the sex hormones in the body, while psychogenic impotence occurs when the body is fit and fine, but the problem is mental in nature. At times, the onset of a thyroid problem or a pituitary problem too has been responsible for causing erectile dysfunction.
