Principal Medical Herbalist at Medi Moses Clinic, Dr. Prince Osei, has outlined key risk factors that can lead to erectile dysfunction, grouping them into three main categories—physical, psychological, and medication-related.
Speaking on Accra-based UTV, he explained that physical factors are often linked to underlying health conditions within the body.
According to him, conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and blood vessel disorders can significantly affect sexual performance. He added that muscular issues may also contribute to the condition.
Touching on psychological factors, Dr. Osei said mental health plays a crucial role, noting that anxiety disorders and depression can lead to erectile dysfunction.
He further explained that certain medications can also trigger the condition as a side effect.
He cited drugs used in managing blood pressure and allergies as examples, especially when taken over a long period.
Dr. Osei emphasized the importance of understanding these risk factors, noting that identifying the root cause is key to managing and treating erectile dysfunction effectively.
