Why cant i get an erection

Impotence has been a problem for men young and old for thousands of years.  Everyday somebody, somewhere asks themselves “Why can’t I get an erection?”  While there is no single answer to this question what we can say is that whatever the cause, in most cases there are ways of solving the problem.

The inability to to obtain or maintain an erection is called impotence or erectile dysfunction.  It is a sexual dysfunction which can have a variety of causes, diabetes, high  blood pressure and other everyday ailments can be a potential cause of erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction is not an inevitable part of aging, nor is it a disorder limited to older people.  There is no full proof method of preventing impotence, but there are measures you can take to decrease the chances of your suffering from it.

To greatly lower your chances of suffering from impotence in the future you could start by limiting how much alcohol you consume, quit smoking and be sure to avoid any form of substance abuse.  Visit your doctor regularly for check ups and if you discover you do have an illness that can result in impotence ask your doctor about the risks and work with your health care provider to manage the illness and its effects.  Regularly riding a bicycle will increase your chances of having an erectile dysfunction in the future, try not to ride excessive distances on your bicycle and if it is absolutely necessary to ride a long distance try to schedule breaks in to your journey.

Back to the question at hand however, “Why can’t I get an erection?”  As mentioned above contributing factors could be regularly riding a bicycle over long distances, drinking, smoking and substance abuse, high blood pressure or hormonal problems could also be the root cause of the problem.  The key is very much to find the underlying problem which may be psychological in nature, stress, anxiety or fatigue can prevent the development of an erection, or physical.

Typically men find it harder than women to discuss sexual problems.  Consultation is the first stepping stone to solving the problem of erectile dysfunction.
