Quick answer: Erection problems often share causes with heart disease, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and high cholesterol, and can appear years earlier. A doctor's check is worthwhile, and proven treatments exist.
Why the link exists
The arteries supplying the penis are narrower than the heart's, so blood vessel damage may show there first.
Common causes
- High blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol
- Smoking, heavy drinking, inactivity
- Stress, anxiety, depression
- Some medicines
Treatments that work
Lifestyle changes, prescription medicines and talking therapies. See the NIDDK guide.
