Differences between Physical and Psychological Impotence

The characteristic symptom of impotence is a change in the quality of the erection, either in rigidity, in the ability to sustain the erection, or both. One indicator of physical impotence, as opposed to psychological, is the inability to experience or maintain an erection upon waking up in the morning. Psychological impotence tends to be abrupt and related to a recent situation; physical impotence occurs gradually but continuously over a period of time. Also, with psychological impotence, a man may be able to have an erection in some circumstances, but not in others. Impotence persisting over a three-month period and not due to an apparent stressful event, drugs, alcohol, or medical conditions signals the need for medical attention by a urologist specializing in impotence.
