Main causes of erectile dysfunction in young people
Erectile dysfunction in young people can be triggered by a number of causes. That’s because any level of anxiety or even insecurity about your own performance can affect penile erection.
As the erection is a response to sexual excitement, several things need to work at the same time and harmoniously for it to occur.
Nerves, neurons, blood circulation, hormones, erectile tissue all need to work together to generate an erection.
Therefore, erectile dysfunction in young people can be triggered by several sets of factors. When there are no comorbidities, it is usually due to performance anxiety.
However, other problems can cause erectile dysfunction in a young man. From some disorder in blood circulation, to fibrosis. That’s why it’s important to be aware of changes in relation to the penis and even the urinary tract.
Pain and other discomfort when urinating or ejaculating, for example, are not common.
Diagnosis and forms of treatment for erectile dysfunction in young people
The first thing that is done when identifying erectile dysfunction in a young man is a complete check-up. Tests are needed to see if the disorder is just an emotional issue, or if there is any comorbidity involved.

- Blood pressure;
- Levels of hormones such as testosterone and thyroid;
- Cholesterol levels;
- Weight;
- Bad habits;
- Gender issues in the family.
If any comorbidity is identified that is causing erectile dysfunction in young people, the doctor will analyze the best form of treatment, which can range from the use of medications to surgical operations.
Now, if it’s a strictly psychological question. So the approach will be different.
First, the doctor will guide the patient to seek a psychologist and will also inform that in this case gradual work will be necessary. This is because it will be necessary to identify the cause of the anxiety that perpetuates the vicious cycle.
