neurogenic erectile dysfunction

Neurogenic erectile dysfunction is a condition where nerve signals that normally trigger an erection are impaired or disrupted due to nerve damage or neurological issues. This can result from conditions like spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, or nerve damage from surgeries. When the nerves involved in arousal are affected, the brain's signals don't reach the penis properly, making it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection even with normal desire. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying neurological cause or using therapies such as medications, devices, or counseling to improve function.
