Mental Factors

Recently, Males and females have both developed mental disorders as a result of the Coronavirus. During pandemic and lockdown conditions, erectile dysfunction in men and sexual disorders in women have been observed to rise at our sexology clinic at CR Park in south delhi. The constant stress of job loss, business closure, uncertainty about the future, and immediate concerns is wreaking havoc on mental health.

"The erection process is influenced by one's mental health. A relaxed body and mind are required to initiate the erection process. A thought enters the mind, and this thought activates the central nervous system, allowing blood to flow to the male organ. No one can have an erection without the participation of the mind", says our sexologist doctor.

What is the most common factor responsible for Erectile Dysfunction(ED)?

 

Diabetes, high blood pressure, excessive smoking, and alcohol all wreak havoc on the blood vessels. The impaired blood vessels are unable to support the blood flow required for the erection. Smoking causes plaque formation in the blood vessels. Plaque formation obstructs blood circulation from and towards the heart. It disrupts the normal flow of blood through the male organ. As a result, even when a man is fully aroused, the blood flow is insufficient for an erection.

 

Sexual dysfunctions are defined as “a cluster of related disorders that are characterized by a deficiency in the ability to experience sexual excitement or the ability to respond to sexual stimuli or both. ”- Dr. Anirban Biswas- MD, one of the best sexologists in delhi.
