ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION & ITS VASCULOGENIC CAUSES

Erectile dysfunction can affect men of any age & it is important to consult your doctor to know the exact cause of this problem. Erectile dysfunction caused by some vasculogenic factors is called “VASCULOGENIC ED” which always precedes conditions like atherosclerosis & other cardiovascular diseases like myocardial infarction & stroke. 

Vascular diseases affect the structure & function of the blood vessels; the diseases reduce the blood flow in the organs such as in heart, brain, and kidneys & also in organs like penis due to which the condition of erectile dysfunction can develop. Usually a vascular disease happens when the cholesterol builds up in the arteries & causes blockage of the blood vessel, due to which the arteries & the veins in the penis may not work normally; they may prevent the sufficient amount of blood to flow into the penis & eventually can results erectile dysfunction.
