Absolutely, lifestyle choices can significantly impact ED even in younger adults. Factors like poor diet, lack of exercise, and high stress levels can definitely play a role. Not just physically, but they also contribute to psychological stress which can exacerbate the problem. Anxiety and depression are particularly potent psychological factors; they can affect hormonal balance and blood flow, which are crucial for sexual performance.
Moreover, excessive consumption of alcohol or use of tobacco and drugs can lead to ED as well. It’s always a good concept for anyone experiencing these issues to review their lifestyle habits and perhaps consult with a healthcare provider to explore both physical and psychological health components.
