My weak erection

Published by

At 43 years of age, I find it difficult to maintain an erection long enough to satisfy my wife. I have tried all types of local herbal treatments to no avail. Your kind advice will be appreciated.

As has been frequently discussed in this column, weak erection can be caused by both psychological and physical problems. Apart from anxiety, stress and depression, other psychological challenges such as recent job loss or feelings of inadequacy can cause weak erection in a man. In addition, underlying physical issues such as poorly managed diabetes mellitus, hypertension among other ailments may also cause the problem. This is why a comprehensive medical examination will be necessary to confirm the cause of your problem and the correct treatment.
