Weak Erections
An erection problem, or dysfunction, is one of
the commonest disorders of male sexuality. Penile erection
depends on a complex interaction of psychological, neural,
vascular and endocrine factors.
Testosterone has an important role in both
central and peripheral domains of this process.
Neurotransmitters are also involved in starting and maintaining
a better penis erection including dopamine and nitric oxide.
Men who have difficulty with erection or a
weak erection seek an erection ring, erection pump, erection
vacuum device, erection cream, or search for an erection pill
such as Viagra or herbal erection pills.
To maintain a strong penis erection, it is
best to have a good sleep at night, have low stress, eat a
healthy diet with plenty of vegetables and fish, have a moderate
amount of exercise, do relaxation techniques, and have close
intimacy. All these steps can lead to a longer erection time in
a man.
Before you take any prescription medications
or natural supplements and aphrodisiacs for erection problems,
please make sure you read the next section.
Precautions
Impotence can be due to physical causes (from
high blood sugar, hardening of the arteries, high blood
pressure, medication use), or due to psychological causes (from
marital problems, stress, lack of confidence, insecurity, guilt,
memories of poor performance in the past).
All men with physical impotence, particularly
older men who are more likely to have physical impotence than
younger men, need a medical evaluation, detailed cardiac
assessment, blood pressure measurement, lipid profile and blood
sugar tests, as well as lifestyle advice regarding weight
management, diet improvement, smoking cessation, sleep quality
improvement, stress reduction, and exercise.
If you have impotence, make sure to have a
full medical evaluation before starting therapy, whether with an
herbal product or a drug.
