If you have gum disease, then your possibility of developing erectile dysfunction increases manifold. Inflammation of the gums as well as plaque formation may be indicators of the overall health of your blood flow and circulation within the body. Both these factors are very important in deciding the blood flow to the penis and may cause erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by psychological issues and in fact, is one of the leading causes of erectile dysfunction. Psychological issues such as stress at work, relationship problems, dislike for spouse, financial problems, loss of a family member, among many others.

Men with diabetes are at the highest risks of developing erectile dysfunction. Erections work on the principle of blood flow, and the better the circulation, the better the erection. Diabetes tends to damage the blood vessels and the nerves that facilitate this flow and thus may end up causing erectile dysfunction. Turmeric mixed with amla juice is a very effective remedy commonly prescribed in Ayurveda to treat blood flow related problems caused by diabetes. This can also help with erectile dysfunction.

Although testosterone is the primary sex hormone in both males and females, it in most cases, doesn t play a direct part in affecting or causing erectile dysfunction. Low level of testosterone in men may lead to a low libido. This will cause a reduced desire for sex, but if the nerves and the blood vessels that carry the blood to the penis are working properly, erections should happen normally, even with low testosterone levels. Ashwagandha is a commonly used ayurvedic herb which can help treat both erectile dysfunction along with low testosterone.
