Psychological factors such as stress and anxiety can cause ED

There are many health issues that can cause erectile dysfunction,
but many experts believe that psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression, low self-esteem, and fear of sexual failure cause 10 to 20 percent of all ED cases.

Even men with a physical cause for ED frequently experience the same sort of psychological reactions such as stress, anxiety, guilt, depression. Most people don’t recognize the risk of smoking in causing ED. However, smoking affects blood flow in veins and arteries, and hormonal abnormalities, such as not enough testosterone.

    The other stress factor I’ve been reading about is the stress caused by technology. That is to say carrying your cell phone in your pocket near your manhood is having some scientists worried about the link to impotence and infertility.

    I am a sexologist and have tried a number of things to cure my patients, because i do not believe in just giving Viagra or other allopathic salts, as the patients themselves are very much aware of these things and their side effects. Using such medicines can only give temporary relief and not a permanent cure. There are medications mentioned in Ayurveda to cure problems related to sexual health of men. One such formulation is used to prepare Shivalik Gold Capsules. These do not give instant results but when used regularly for a period of 2 months the benefits we get are permanent. You can also give these a try.
