Understanding Causes and Risk Factors
Erectile dysfunction can stem from physical or psychological origins.
Many men experience occasional erection problems due to stress, fatigue or alcohol use. Persistent issues may indicate:

- Diabetes or thyroid disorders
- Hormonal imbalances
- Anxiety, depression or relationship stress
Lifestyle changes can reduce symptoms and improve overall wellbeing.
