Four major causes of impotence
Penile erection is a huge "project", which needs to be completed under the complex nervous and endocrine regulation in the body.

Its functional status will be affected by individual spirit, psychology and various social factors. Therefore, problems in one of the above links may lead to ED. According to the cause of the disease, it can be roughly divided into psychological ED and organic ED, and some are mixed type.
In terms of psychology, the psychological trauma suffered in childhood, the wrong sex education, the disharmony between the family and the couple, and the unsatisfactory sexual life environment may all lead to erectile problems. Once many people have difficulty erecting, they will have a huge psychological burden, making the problem more serious and forming a vicious circle.
Organic erectile dysfunction accounts for about 50%, mainly including vascular, neurological, endocrine, etc. Vascular factors include arterial and venous ED. Generally speaking, ED caused by vascular factors is mainly manifested by the disappearance of penis erection at night and poor response to intravascular injection of vasoactive drugs.
Neurogenic ED mainly refers to sexual function problems caused by nerve damage, including hypothalamic pituitary tumor, local brain damage, such as localized epilepsy, encephalitis, cerebral hemorrhage and compression, spinal cord injury, chronic alcoholism, pelvic surgery damage to peripheral autonomic nerve, etc.
Endocrine ED is common in diabetes, pituitary insufficiency, testicular injury or hypofunction, or hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, adrenal insufficiency and other diseases.
