Here, I am going to discuss about potential causes and science behind your ED problem. If you are having ED issue , schedule free doctor consultation .
1. Diabetes
Chronic diabetes can damages your nerve and it impairs how signals transmits through your nervous system. Damage to nerves around your penis can affect blood supply to penis and affects ability to achieve and maintain erection. Diabetes is one the reason whey ED is more common in 50+ age group.
2. Cardiovascular and Heart disease
Heart and vascular disease can directly impact your erection. If you are having preexisting heart condition, high blood pressure or blockage of blood vessels then it will not allow proper blood flow to penis. This will lead to soft or partial erection.
3. Lifestyle
Healthy lifestyle and habits have huge role in erection. Clinically it is proven that if you are chronic smoker than it will impair your erection by affecting your heart and blood vessels along with increase level of nicotine in body. Studies have shown that effect of smoking on erection is reversible after cessation of smoking. Many studies have shown that improvement in erection as early as in 48 hours after stopping of smoking.
Alcohol slows down your brain and nervous system. Heavy use of alcohol before sexual activity can lead to problem in erection.
4. Hormone Imbalances
Hormones are very vital and essential for sexual life. Testosterone is male sexual hormone and its normal level in body is important for sexual drive, erection, and healthy sexual life. Low testosterone level can cause erectile dysfunction along with that it reduces your sexual arousal and sexual desire.
Although testosterone is important for healthy sexual life but using external steroid or taking any form of steroid negatively impacts erection. Excessive use of steroid leads to ED.
5. Obesity
Obesity is directly associated with heart diseases and diabetes. Having high BMI (Body Mass Index) or excessive weight is associated with Erectile Dysfunction. Excessive fat in body is linked to production of estrogen (female sex hormone), production of estrogen in male body can lead to erectile dysfunction.
6. Psychological
Psychiatric illness likes depression, anxiety, stress, panic disorders are directly related to erectile dysfunction. Anxiety, constant worry or stress about sex and sexual relation affects your ability of erection. It is always advisable to have open and honest communication about sexual relationship with your partner and it can help in reducing anxiety and stress.
7. Injury and Surgery
Injury , accident or any surgery to your pelvic area and penile region affects the function of penis and it will not let you get hard. Nerve damage from surgery to pelvic area may lead to inability to get erection.
8. Side Effects of Medicine
Medicines usually have positive effect on your body and health and but sometimes side effects from these medication can take your health in negative direction. There are many medicines which leads to poor erection or loss of sexual desire and it makes it hard to maintain erection during sexual intercourse. Anti anxiety medicine, blood pressure medicine, medicine for stomach ulcer, medicine for weight gain, medicine for insomnia are common medicines which can compromise your erection.
You may not be necessarily suffering from ED if you get soft or not able to maintain erection during sex once in a while. But this definitely needs medical attention if its happening more often.

Use Erectile Dysfunction Medication
It is common opinion that ED medications are only for old men. That is not true! Erectile dysfunction medications are useful for any age group male who are facing erectile dysfunction. Sildatrhill-D (Sildenafil and Dapoxetine) and Tadathirll-D (Tadalafil and Dapoxetine) are two popular ED medications available in India for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Sildathrill-D and Tadathrill-D are FDA approved medication for erectile dysfunction.
Tadalafil or Sildenafil inhibits PDE5 which leads to increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels. Increased cGMP will cause relaxation of smooth muscles and increase blood flow to blood vessels. This increase in blood flow to vessels in penis will lead to strong and hard erection.
Here are some examples.
- Sildenafil( the active ingredient in Sildathrill-D)
- Tadalafil ( the active ingredient in Tadathrill-D)
Tadalafil and Sildenafil works for erectile dysfunction but they are different medication, different power and different side effects. You can learn all about ED Medications here.
