How Impotence Affects a Young Man

Being that impotence is predominantly caused by cardiovascular problems or diabetes, it tends to affect young men less frequently than older men. In younger men, impotence tends to be caused by psychological factors.

Common causes of impotence in young men:

• Anxiety – Younger, less sexually experienced men may become overtaken by anxiety when faced with a sexual situation. Sexual anxiety releases chemicals counter-productive to the erectile process, resulting in impotence.

• Depression – Clinical depression can inhibit the proper chemical reactions necessary to achieve an erection and can also cause libido loss. Antidepressant medications are also known to cause impotence.

• Injury – Sports-related injuries to the testicles are common and can damage testosterone production in young men, resulting in erectile difficulty.
