Multi-factorial: Erectile dysfunction can occur as a result of physical changes to the blood flow and nerve input that control erections, or psychological issues that can impact performance, or a combination of both. In a 26 year old male, psychological factors are more common, whereas in older men physiological limitations usually prevail. One way to distinguish the etiology is nocturnal tumescence monitoring.
