Worrying over something for a long time causes the brain to release stress hormones like cortisol.
Cortisol can cause blood vessels to narrow, hindering the blood flow to the genital area as well.
This decrease in blood flow makes it harder to attain and maintain an erection<\/a>. This is why Anxiety and ED are linked to each other.
Also, nervousness often leads to Performance Anxiety, which causes a person to worry too much about how they would do in bed.
This makes the ED symptoms<\/a> even worse.
Anxiety changes the way neurotransmitters work. These changes make mood-regulating chemicals like serotonin and dopamine less effective.
Both these chemicals are important for handling Anxiety and sexual functioning. So, any changes in these chemicals can cause ED due to Anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
