Errection problems: Causes and Treatments

When men get excited, hormones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels work to create an erection. Neural signals, sent from brain to penis, stimulate muscles. This, in turn, allows blood to flow into the tissues of the penis.

After the blood “covers” the penis and is achieved erection, the blood vessels of the penis are shut down so that the erection can be maintained. At one point in a man's life, he may have difficulty achieving or preserving an erection.

People may not always succeed in an erection. If this happens from time to time, it is not considered a problem. For most boys/men, these problems happen occasionally and are not serious issues. According to Cleveland Clinic, there is no reason for concern if erection problems occur up to 20% of the time. However, if you are unable to achieve an erection of at least 50% of the cases, you may have a health problem that requires medical attention.

Common Causes

Problems With Youth Errection

Men between 20 and 30 years of age can also experience problems. Research says that youth erection problems have more to do with their lifestyle and mental health than with any physical problem. Some studies suggest that the problems of erection among young people are most often caused by anxiety or depression.
