Poor erection often occurs when taking medication. There are separate drugs that can very adversely affect the potency of men. These include hormone-containing medicines that block the function of male sex hormones, as well as products containing female hormones. As a rule, such drugs are prescribed for severe pathologies, for example, in the case of prostate cancer. In such situations, speedy relief and prolongation of the patient's life are chosen. However, after the withdrawal of potent antiandrogens, usually a poor erection passes.
In addition, there are drugs that can have a depressing effect on the cerebral cortex and weaken the strength of a man. As a rule, they include alcohol and a variety of drugs. It should be noted that they affect not only the brain, but also the whole organism. Depletion has an adverse effect on reproductive function and potency. In such cases, a bad erection is eliminated only if there is a complete rejection of the inhibitory drug and a complete recovery.
Erectile dysfunction also develops as a result of exposure to drugs blocking the peripheral nerve endings. These drugs include diphenhydramine. Its reception for more than ten days can provoke the development of sexual impotence.
Poor erection can be triggered by individual neurological pathologies. These include epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, injuries of the spinal cord and brain, pelvis, perineum, as well as surgical interventions in these areas.
It should be noted that the development of serious ailments, as a rule, pushes problems with an erection into the background due to the need for immediate treatment and the elimination of severe symptoms.
Of particular note are the psychological causes of a weak erection. It should be noted that any other disorder of sexual function necessarily reflects on the mental background. In other words, the violation develops into a psychological factor.
Sluggish erection or its absolute absence in a man can be caused by depression, prolonged stress, fatigue, dissatisfaction of the partner and herself. Erectile dysfunction often develops against the background of conflict situations associated with sexual addictions and requirements. A provoking factor is the fear of a possible pregnancy or infection with sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS.
Ejaculation in a man may not occur if the conditions where the sexual intercourse occurs are not suitable in order to relax. Of course, extreme sex is very exciting for some people (in an open office, elevator, in a car). However, most couples still prefer a calm and secluded atmosphere.
One of the psychological varieties of the problem is also selective erectile dysfunction. At the same time, there is no erection only with a certain partner against the background of constant success with others.
Ejaculation may not occur even if a man has a so-called “first encounter syndrome”. Problems can arise only on the first date, and with all subsequent contacts no problems are noted. A situation may arise in which a man experiences such strong excitement that an erection is absent due to body fatigue.
To distinguish organic erectile dysfunction from psychological, as a rule, is not difficult. With the psychological nature of the condition, ejaculation usually occurs during masturbation, and also happens in the morning or at night.
