Understanding Stress and Erectile Dysfunction
Stress often leads to anxiety, which physically manifests as elevated blood pressure and heart rate. This stress can be:
- Acute Stress: In response to urgent events, the body produces a surge of hormones, including adrenaline and temporarily increased testosterone levels. This hormonal boost may explain heightened sexual activity in high-pressure environments, such as Olympic Villages.
- Chronic Stress: Prolonged stress overwhelms the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis, leading to decreased testosterone production. Consequently, chronic stress can result in erectile dysfunction, suppressed immune function, insomnia, and fatigue. These effects negatively impact performance both at work and home, contributing to higher sickness rates. Notably, stress accounts for one in four visits to general practitioners.
Addressing Performance-Related Anxiety
Performance-related anxiety, similar to “stage fright” experienced by actors, affects many men during sexual activity. This anxiety often stems from distressing failures, such as difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection or experiencing premature ejaculation. Frequent occurrences reinforce the problem, creating a conditioned reflex where fear of failure leads to avoidance. By treating the root cause of these failures, the conditioned reflex diminishes, and confidence can be restored.
