Is Male Dysfunction Psychological, Emotional, or Physical?

Is Your Trouble With ED All in Your Head?

Of course, there are physical issues that can cause erectile dysfunction; however, your psychological condition or emotional states can also contribute to the problem.

Did you know that as many as 20% of cases of male dysfunction or ED can have psychological or emotional causes?

Often erectile dysfunction is a “secondary reaction” to an underlying emotional or psychological issue. According to WebMD, the most common psychological influences of ED include:

  • Stress: Stress can be job-related, money-related, or the result of marital problems, among other factors.
  • Anxiety: Once a man experiences ED, they may become overly worried that the problem will happen again. This can lead to “performance anxiety,” or a fear of sexual failure, and consistently lead to ED.
  • Guilt: A man may feel guilty that they are not satisfying their partner.
  • Depression: A common cause of ED, depression affects a person physically and psychologically. Depression can cause ED even when a man is completely comfortable in sexual situations. Drugs used to treat depression may also cause ED.
  • Low self-esteem: This can be due to prior episodes of ED (thus a feeling of inadequacy) or can be the result of other issues unrelated to sexual performance.
  • Indifference: This may come as a result of age and a subsequent loss of interest in sex, be the result of medications, or stemming from problems in a couple’s relationship.


Understand that all men experience some “trouble in the bedroom” every now and then. However, if you are experiencing male dysfunction on a regular basis, speak to your doctor. There is nothing to be embarrassed about – there is help available for ED!

Your doctor can treat any physical causes of ED as well as offer compassion and counseling to deal with any contributing psychological factors to your issues with male dysfunction.

What Every Man Should Know About Treating Erectile Dysfunction!

No matter what the factors are that are contributing to your problems with male dysfunction, all men need to know that drugs or surgery are no longer your only options for treating ED!

If you have tried any of the popular ED medications and have been dissatisfied with your results, or if you cannot take oral ED meds because you have high blood pressure or other medical conditions, The Original Health Institute offers men proven alternative ED solutions.

Oral ED drugs only treat the symptoms of ED. Our solutions go right to the source of erectile dysfunction – poor blood flow!

The revolutionary, drug-free, surgery-free ED treatments we offer include:

P-Shot – The Priapus Shot (P-Shot) uses Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). After a simple, pain-free injection, the PRP in the P-shot stimulates the growth factors in your own blood to increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in stronger, harder, and bigger erections, and in some instances, enhancing length, girth, and an overall more youthful appearance of your penis.

Shockwave Therapy –  Shockwave (acoustic wave) therapy is the latest ED treatment to hit the market. This proprietary procedure utilizes pulsed, or waved energy, to increase the flow of blood to the penis. The gentle, painless waves open up old, blocked blood vessels, as well as stimulate the growth of new blood vessels in the penis.

“I’m 59, I’ve been divorced, and I recently started dating again. But the trauma of the divorce really left me in a bad place. I’ve been seeing this one gal pretty steady, and we got to ‘that point’ in our relationship – and I am so embarrassed to say, I couldn’t have sex with her! I know all the anxiety about getting with a new woman after 20 years of marriage was messing with my head.  Dr. Schwartz’s treatments for male dysfunction helped me get my confidence back! – Robert B., Scottsdale, AZ.
