Erectile dysfunction is caused by various issues ranging from physical and psychological illnesses and genetic and hereditary factors to side effects from prescription drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the primary underlying medical causes of ED in men above 50 is atherosclerosis or the hardening and narrowing of arteries due to a buildup of plaque in its linings.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the arteries and blood vessels that circulate blood through the penis cannot widen properly enough because of atherosclerosis, the penis cannot be engorged with blood, leading to ED symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly, that\u2019s a showstopper because a nice, firm, and long-lasting erection depends on your body\u2019s ability to constantly and rapidly supply blood whenever you need it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, erections take more than just a healthy circulatory system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The nervous and musculoskeletal systems are key facets of healthy erections since they react to your hormones and affect your emotional state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Underlying medical conditions can cause pressure, stress, or anxiety, contributing to erection problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is there a link between ED and autoimmune diseases?<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

To make a long story short: yes, there is a connection between autoimmune disease and ED.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the longer answer is that there\u2019s still plenty left to unpack as the science behind it is yet emerging.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Autoimmune diseases, as the name implies, involve the body\u2019s immune system attacking its host\u2019s cells, tissues, and organs, instead of defending against invaders or helping your body recover from illness or injury.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are more than 100 known autoimmune diseases, many of which can be hard to detect and some whose origins remain unknown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, here\u2019s the interesting part: atherosclerosis, one of the primary culprits of ED, isn\u2019t typically considered an autoimmune illness, but it shares some of the root causes of the latter.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, atherosclerosis may be caused by other diagnosable conditions such as heart disease, as well as certain autoimmune diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Studies indicate indubitable connections, both direct and indirect, between autoimmune diseases and ED.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, some of the most well-known autoimmune diseases are known culprits of ED. Some of these illnesses cause direct effects on the penis or cause other physical or psychological symptoms that exacerbate ED.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here they are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n
