Erectile dysfunction can result from circulatory impairment (such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis and diabetes), nerve impairment from neurological disease or injury, decreased testosterone level, stress or substance abuse. Lifestyle Changes Erectile dysfunction can be helped by reducing stress and fatigue, and reducing or stopping the use of alcohol, tobacco and illicit drugs. Alcohol depresses the central nervous system and can impair nerve function. Smoking constricts arteries and can increase circulatory impairment. Illicit drugs, such as heroin, cocaine and marijuana, may cause erectile dysfunction andimpotence through impairment of nerves and/or circulation. If you are taking medications that cause erectile dysfunction, such as some heart and blood pressure medications and antidepressants, you should discuss with your doctor the possibility of changing to other medications. Medications You may need to receive testosterone to increase your hormone level in order to achieve an erection. Oral medications, such as Kamagra, Levitra Tablets and Cialis Tablets, cause relaxation of the smooth muscles, allowing the arteries in the penis to dilate enough for an erection. These medications don't resolve erectile dysfunction for all men and may cause facial flushing.
