People with
adhd and erectile dysfunction often experience higher levels of anxiety, stress, or relationship difficulties, all of which can negatively impact sexual function. Chronic stress and anxiety can interfere with sexual arousal and performance, potentially leading to ED. Individuals with ADHD may struggle with self-esteem or have a history of negative feedback related to attention or impulse control. These psychological challenges can contribute to issues with sexual performance, including ED. Impulsivity and hyperactivity, core symptoms of ADHD, can sometimes interfere with emotional intimacy or consistent sexual activity. This can lead to difficulty in sexual relationships, possibly affecting erectile function. Additionally, these symptoms might lead to risky behaviors, such as alcohol or drug use, which can negatively affect sexual performance.
