A member asked:

I was wondering is blood pressure(hypertension) responsible for erectile erections?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Erections: If you don't have adequate blood flow you can't get an erection. Hypertension is elevated blood pressure. Too low blood pressure may cause erectile difficulties, too high blood pressure has other problems associated.
