Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction In An Elderly Person

I m a 50 yr old male, I m been sexually active all my life. Over the past 4-5 months, I started to find it hard to maintain and keep my erection even though my excitement is extremely high. I still do ejaculate, however, I do so without FULL erection!!!! It s about 80% erected. In the past, after ejaculation it was never difficult to reach erection within 30-40 minutes, unfortunately now, it takes several hours. Kindly advise.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Erectile dysfunction could be caused due to several reasons. But you need to first check your blood glucose levels and rule out you are not having diabetes. In case you are diabetic, you need to take adequate precautions to keep your glucose levels under control.
You can take medications like Tadalafil before intercourse to achieve good erecrion. Also you can practice some penis strengthening exercises like 'pause and squeeze' technique and meditation to keep your mind stress free. Gradually, as you gain confidence, you can reduce medication or take as and when only required.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
