Can fatigue lead to erectile dysfunction?

To have an erection with sex, different body parts must work together, including your brain, central nervous system, heart, arteries, and penis. Is it any wonder that fatigue can interrupt an erection? When fatigue causes chronic or long-term erection problems, it’s called erectile dysfunction (ED). I’m not talking about staying up too late one night, and not being able to have sex with your partner when you both want to. That happens to every guy once in a while. But if you are always tired, and can’t get or keep an erection that’s rigid enough to have sex more times than not, it’s time to talk to your good doc. You may have an underlying health condition that’s causing both your fatigue and your problems in the sack. Discovering more about that problem and getting it treated can make you (and your partner) feel a whole lot better!
