Does Stress Cause Erectile Dysfunction?
On top of contributing to things like blood pressure issues or cardiovascular diseases, stress can also affect you in the bedroom.

Research has shown common life stressors can cause anxiety and lead to ED. Unfortunately, this can cause a vicious cycle to begin. You’re stressed, it leads to ED, then your ED makes you self-conscious and it leads to more stress.

Hence, the “chicken-or-the-egg.”

Another study from 2015 looked at 64 men with ED or premature ejaculation (PE). There was a significant connection found between ED and anxiety or depression.

In a majority of cases, the anxiety or depressive disorders started before the sexual dysfunction.

So, researchers in this study concluded that stress, anxiety and depression could be contributing factors to the issues.

Wondering what’s happening biologically when you’re stressed?

When you get stressed, your body releases “stress hormones” like epinephrine, norepinephrine and cortisol, which are all “enemies” to an erection because they impact things like blood flow and hypertension.

And remember what we said above about how crucial blood flow is to your erectile function.
