I don’t get erection always

Dear Yemisi,
PLEASE, my problem is the fact that I don’t get erection always. Whenever I finally get it, it does not last long.
What do I do?

Dear Worried Man,
The problem you are having is called erectile dysfunction and not impotence since you have erection at times, though weak as it does not last for long. Though this problem of yours is said to be a normal occurrence at any age, but it is believed to be common in older men with health issues.
Whatever I suggest here is from the point of view of general study and findings and not authoritative since I am not a medical practitioner. Your age and health status are very crucial to proffering any solution.
In the attempt of dousing your fears I will want you to see the issue at hand as one that can be solved. Erection problems have been traced to many causes among which are physical in nature that manifests as injury to nerves or loss of blood to the penis, diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, stress, side effects of certain medicines, much alcohol, smoking among other lifestyle habits.
From the causes listed you should have been able to identify the cause of your problem and if non of the causes listed is traceable to your predicament, your next port of call is to see a physician who is an expert in handling such a case if you have not done that before. This is not the time to consult the fake medical practitioners who go about hawking fake drugs in bagco bags.
In the interim before you see a specialist and after, you can work on yourself by avoiding use of non prescribed drugs, quitting smoking if you have hitherto been a chain smoker.
If you are a heavy drinker, you have to cut down on the number of alcoholic drinks you take while you make conscious effort to maintain your blood pressure and cholesterol level. You must also ensure your blood sugar level is kept at a reasonable range for your age if you have been diagnosed of diabetes.
If you have not liked exercise on a regular basis, you need to go back to the tracks as this will help reduce your excess weight as well as you stop getting worked up unnecessarily.
