Various studies have come up confirming that men having hypertension or high blood pressure are liable to have erectile dysfunction or impotence. According to various studies almost half of the men having high blood pressure experiences impotence or erection problems.
It is not clearly known how hypertension causes impotence. Some studies say that the extreme pressure on the vessels carrying blood can lead to the damage of the veins and arteries in the genital area. This could lead to a reduced flow of blood in the penis. It is a known fact that the penis stands erect only if there is a good flow of blood. Another study says that the restored small blood vessels that had been damaged because of the pressure, would become thicker. This could lead to a decreased flow of blood in the penis.
