What are the most common causes of high blood pressure and impotence? High blood pressure tends to stop the arteries in the penis from dilating as they must do in order to achieve and maintain erections. It also allows the penis to lose the ability to relax and as a result there is an insufficient amount of blood flowing to the area. It is also said that Men suffering from hypertension more often than not have low testosterone levels which plays a very important part in all areas of a man’s sex life.

Some hypertension medications are heavily linked with actually leading to sexual dysfunction. The most common medications are diuretics that are otherwise known as water pills and also beta-blocker medications.
