I have a weak erection

Published by

My girlfriend complained that I don’t last in bed. Also, when I wake up in the morning, my penis does not stand erect as it should normally do. Please help me.

Weak penile erections can be due to many factors such as anxiety, stress, uncontrolled High Blood Pressure, diabetes and other underlying ailments. Other factors include excessive intake of alcohol and other stimulant drugs. Ageing is also a strong factor but since you mentioned having a girlfriend, I assume that you are a young man. My advice will be for you to go for a proper medical check-up in order to rule out Hypertension, Diabetes and any other underlying medical issues. A proper review of your life style with necessary adjustments where necessary should therefore follow. An understanding partner, who will help you to build up your confidence is also a good panacea to a weak erection.
