Impotence is the inability to get or maintain an erection. According to the National Institutes of Health, an estimated 15 to 30 million men suffered from erectile dysfunction (another term for impotence) in 2002. According to Impotence-Guide.com, about 10 percent to 20 percent of erectile dysfunction cases are caused by psychological issues. Usually this occurs after you suffer from one physically caused case of impotence and then have anxiety about it happening again. Impotence can occur if any link in the chain of command leading to an erection is disturbed, including brain impulses, spinal column interruptions or problems with the penile muscular or vascular systems. Impotence can be caused as a side effect or complication from another medical condition you have that disrupts your normal body function. For example, according to the National Institutes of Health, about 35 percent to 50 percent of all men with diabetes suffer from erectile dysfunction. While there is no cure for impotence, there are a variety of treatments available that include exercises you can do alone or with your partner, herbal and holistic treatments, prescriptions and even surgery or penis vacuum pumps. If you suddenly find yourself suffering from impotence, you should talk to your doctor even if it is embarrassing, as he impotence may be caused by another medical condition you are not aware of.Mental Causes

Impotence causes could be categorized into four main factors: physical, psychological, lifestyle and medication-related causes.
Physical Impotence Causes
Impotence is often the first sign of an underlying medical condition. For example, a significant percentage of adult-onset diabetes is first detected prior to impotence. Major physical impotence causes are diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, liver/kidney disease, prostate surgery, Parkinson's disease, high cholesterol and poor blood circulation due to blocked arteries.
Psychological Impotence Causes
Medical experts believe that psychological factors are minimal. However, men with physical cause for impotence can often indirectly experience psychological reactions. Psychological impotence causes include post traumatic stress disorder, psychological abuse or trauma, relationship problems, sexual identity issues, depression or anxiety disorders and mental fatigue.
Lifestyle Impotence Causes
Lifestyle factors are also major impotence causes. These include smoking, obesity, drug abuse, excessive alcohol consumption and a sedentary lifestyle. Making positive changes to your lifestyle will not only improve your overall health but will also help you overcome problems with impotence.
Medications also contribute to Impotence Causes
Medications such as antidepressants, tranquilizers, anti-psychotics, antihistamines, beta-blockers and blood pressure drugs are also major contributors to the causes of impotence.
