Can arteriosclerosis be a reason to have erectile dysfunction although i have normal ldl, low hdl, and normal total cholesterol, i have hypertension?

One of the ways it may contribute to this is by arteriosclerosis or thickening of the small arteries and arterioles in the body. It's wise to see your doctor to get the blood pressure under control for this and more important reasons.
