Sexual dysfunction is more common in elderly men (fifty years old and above) because these men are more prone to physical disorders that are important risk factors of impotence. Some of these diseases include hypertension, diabetes and declining mental functions. Hypertension prevents blood from properly reaching the sex organs, while diabetes could prevent the different body systems from functioning properly. A healthy mind is also needed to be stimulated erotically.

Although a lot of factors have to be considered before a man showing erectile dysfunction symptoms can be diagnosed with physically induced ED, it is highly probable that the sexual disorder is being caused by the diseases and the drugs that are being prescribed to the men with these diseases. When your antihypertensive medication has this side effect, you must not stop taking it. Instead, you must approach your doctor and request for another brand. Sometimes, this effect (sexual problems) is only manifested if the man uses certain drugs, and these will soon cease to happen when the culprit drug is gone.
