Psychological causes of ED

If you are asked the question: "Are you healthy or not" - what will you answer?

At the initial appointment, the doctor will not give you a specific answer, he will tell you: "You are not examined enough".

If, during a comprehensive examination of a patient with ED, it is decided that ED is caused not by organic causes, but by psychological ones, the patient is referred to a sexologist or psychotherapist.

How does a man's psychology affect his erection? The fact is that the brain plays a key role in starting the physiological processes leading to an erection, starting with sexual arousal. Therefore, various psychological problems can lead to a decrease (weakening) of erection. In Europe, according to the European Association of Urology, this figure does not exceed 10%. Interesting results are shown by combining classes to get rid of psychological causes with taking pills to increase potency - usually, after a successful sexual intercourse, self-confidence increases in men and the therapy is faster and easier. By the way, here you can read important statistics on erectile dysfunction and learn about the situations that men have to face in connection with ED.

Excellent results are shown by combining classes to get rid of psychological causes with the use of these pills - thanks to them, after a successful sexual intercourse, men increase their self-confidence and the therapy is faster and easier.

Below are the factors that can affect the degree and quality of erection:

• depression, prolonged stress, fatigue
• general feeling unwell, dissatisfied with oneself
• the inability to have sexual intercourse with one partner (wife) with constant success with others (mistress)
• inability to have sexual intercourse with a condom
• accidental failure in sexual intercourse causes very strong excitement during the next intimacy with a partner
• a protracted conflict with a regular partner on domestic grounds.

Let's break down some factors in more detail.

In young men who have begun to have sex relatively recently, the cause of ED may be childhood and adolescence experiences, because. during this period, parents often instill in teenagers the shame of sexual relations. It happens that during the first sexual experience, the excitement of a man is so great that by the time of intimacy, the erection disappears. And if at this moment a man hears a reproach from a woman, this can hit his psyche hard, which will affect his erection in the future.

Another reason is "failure expectation syndrome". Even a single unsuccessful sexual experience can lead to a decrease or even disappearance of an erection, because. a man begins to doubt his masculine strength. Fear increases many times immediately before sexual intercourse, which leads to loss of erection.

The reason that can be called "failure with other partners" is more common in older men. In this age group, ED is more common with one partner (wife with whom she has been married for more than ten years), although they have constant success with other women (mistress).

"Condom-induced ED" also falls into the category of psychological causes. It manifests itself in a decrease in erection both at the moment of thinking about using it, and at the moment of actually putting it on. In the latter case, the erection may disappear altogether, which will certainly lead to stress for the man. It can additionally be reinforced by the reaction of the partner, who may take it negatively, as a personal insult and increase stress with her emotional comments.

In the situations described above, a man needs to contact a psychotherapist or a sexologist. Separately, it is worth mentioning the role of a spouse or girlfriend in the treatment process - the result of therapy directly depends on her support, understanding and patience. It is desirable that the partner take part in psychotherapy sessions, visit a sexologist together with her man, since ED caused by domestic conflicts may be based on contradictions and mutual claims that two cannot resolve on their own.

According to statistics, in most cases, such therapy is successful - it is important to start treatment!
