Then erectile tissue becomes fatigue as many other muscle tissue in the body like spasm where the regulatory condition of erectile function is lost and the erectile tissue fails to disengage fully which cause in a semi stimulated stage, the tissue struggles to fully erect because it has lost the normal feedback mechanism. Automatic and central systems control erectile function and in states of fatigue condition the central and parasympathetic can no longer regulate this function. Pain is due to tissue injury and fatigue chemical irritation of the nerve endings. This further results in distress and anxiety. Stress causes release of cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline resulting in an increase of blood flow to the pelvic area. An already traumatic blood vessel to increased blood flow only helps to drive the process and maintain the hard flaccid state.
The tension in the pelvis is linked to stress and this will causes enable poor regulation of blood flow in the pelvic floor. The penis muscles originate from the pelvis and allow for easy influence of the tight pelvic muscles on penile erectile tissue.
