Systemic and Psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction
So how do I know if my Erectile Dysfunction is psychogenic or systemic? The first step to take if you notice you have ED would be to visit your doctor. He will be able to perform the proper diagnosis and determine the cause of your ED and possibly provide a treatment. In this post we are going to give some insight and look at two common questions men have on “what the differences are between systemic and psychogenic Erectile Dysfunction“. Let’s define what they both mean? Systemic would mean your body causes it and psychogenic refers to the mind (your psyche) and not your body, so in other words mental fear, stress or anxiety can be causing your erection issues. The best and easiest way to determine if the root of your erection problems is psychogenic would be to check for nocturnal erections.
