Hello,
Psychological reasons are one of the important causes of erectile dysfunction. Talk to your partner openly and discuss the relationship issues. Lifestyle choices like excessive smoking, being overweight and avoiding exercise are other possible causes. In such cases quitting smoking, losing excessive weight, and increasing physical activity may help some men regain sexual function.
Urologists have special expertise in sexual health. Some specialize specifically in erectile dysfunction. They can help assess your condition and determine its cause.
•Seek mental/emotional health treatment. Stress, anxiety and depression can cause erectile dysfunction. Even the fear of having erectile problems can make them worse. Talk to your doctor to see if these issues are playing a role in your ED. Treatment with a mental health professional might help.
Moreover erectile dysfunction is due to many causes and treating the cause can help in erectile dysfunction.

Low T or what is called Low Testosterone levels. However, this is normally seen in males who are much older in life usually around mid-40 on. There have been a few cases of men who are younger whose testosterone levels are low but that is a very rare thing.Don't quote me on that, though.
Only thing I can tell you to do is to have your husband tested for the possibility of Low T and see if that may be the problem.

There are no exercises for the penis which can help in erectile dysfunction but doing moderate exercises may help in regularizing blood sugar levels which can reverse erectile dysfunction. Also do not take any over the counter drugs as it may be having potential more dangerous side effects which you are already having due to the drug.
Lastly, at your age and with your previous sexual history, it can be psychological as performance based anxiety.
See a urologist who specializes in erectile dysfunction. Alternatively, you could have your primary care doctor prescribe Viagra and see if that works for you.

Hi there,
Erectile dysfunction can be caused by physical and emotional issues both. The few risk factors of erectile dysfunction are advanced age, diabetes mellitus, smoking, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, nerve or spinal cord damage, depression and anxiety etc. The few common side effects of Flomax are abnormal ejaculation, decreased sex drive, runny or stuffy nose, or sore throat. Your physician will determine the best option based upon your evaluation and medical history. Keep me posted.
Google for Kejal exercise or Pelvic floor exercises, which helps in strengthening the pelvic muscles, and a simple method for treating erectile dysfunction.
If you unable to succeed, it is better you check with your Andrologist.
Once you inject, it works in five to ten minutes. It comes in different strengths. I suffer from reduced blood flow from diabetes and Trimix in its lowest dose was a total cure. Similar to Boston Medical's blend but averages about $3 to $5 a dose which is thousands of dollars less than those thieves charge. This was originally created for prostate surgery patients and many doctors are not familiar with it. Find the right doctor and get some! You will be totally amazed.

When I was four I was diagnosed with embroyonal sarcoma.. maybe spelled that wrong but I beat it twice and was good from six on and I haven't been to the neurology doc in a few years cause its been 15 years.
t have a serious medical condition, then you have 2 choices for ED
1) Anxiety
2) Overuse of Internet porn
3) Combo of both
The inability to get a full erection with a real-life sexual partner is called copulatory impotence. Chronic erectile dysfunction is a rare problem for men under 40 - or at least it wasn't until Internet porn arrived. So - have you been consistently using Internet porn? If so, the it might be the cause.
It could be a number of things, depending on your age, health, nutrition, etc. For example, diabetes can have an effect on erections, as can many medications. Psychological reasons are also very, very common: it may be that you’re feeling stressed about things unrelated to sex, it may be that you feel “performance anxiety,” etc. Or you could be feeling physically uncomfortable.
UNCONTROLLED diabetes can lead to erectile dysfunction (both men and women). diabetes has no direct link to reduction of desire. However being uncontrolled will lead to complications, that lead to depression, that will have an effect on desire. So control your diabetes and have a great sex life!
It is not specific to a particular age, but is more common in elderly men. Having erectile dysfunction occasionally is usually not a cause of concern, but persistent ED should be evaluated by a specialist doctor.
The causes can be physical and psychological:
Some of the physical causes can be:
Cardiac disease, blood vessel abnormalities, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, medications etc
Some of the psychological causes can be depression, anxiety, stress, etc.
Viagra, or any of the PDE5's is probably not the correct treatment for ED in a man of your age. Lloyd's will always sell you drugs, that's what they do.
95% of erectile dysfunction in a man of your age is caused by Performance Anxiety. The remaining 5% -- diabetes, venous leak and so on are very rare.
What you have is easy to fix. Just take intercourse off the menu for a while. No performance no anxiety. Good luck. Hope this helps..
Before deciding the treatment it is important to find out the cause which may be responsible for erectile dysfunction in your case. In most men of your age and since you were having regular erections earlier, the cause looks more like psychological. Other medical causes may be diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, depression, spinal cord and neurological causes.
You can take Viagra and use the delay creams simultaneously.

If you suspect to have it, you need to visit a doctor so they can determine if it is physical or psychological problem. It's usually psychological or it could be the combination of physical or psychological.
Usually men over 40 that experience erectile dysfunction relates to a physical problem or some underlying medical condition, ie. diabetis, high blood pressure, etc.
Anxiety and stress play an important role in adolescents in the development of erectile dysfunction; and is the most common possible cause. At a primary level, I would suggest being a bit relaxed and working on the psychological factors with your partner. You could also see a psychotherapist/ behavioral therapist for the same. It might also be beneficial to get rid of factors like smoking/ alcohol/ drugs, if involved.
