husband having troubles staying errect

by curlygirlhair, Aug 11, 2006 12:00AM
my husband has troubles staying errect during intercourse. he also has troubles even though he is very into it, he can't seem to get errect.this isn't always a problem but it is frustrating to both of us and especially to him. we want to try to have children so we would like some answers. he went to a dr. visit and got prescribed viagra. it seems to help but it's expensive and should this be happening at the age of 41??

Has your husband had a prostrate check?  Is he stressed? Take a weekend away, or a holiday and see if there is a difference. After it has happened once guys stress tend to think it will happen again and make things worse. Maybe viagra is the solution but maybe some vitamins, relaxation and exercise may help.  Check with the doctor about fertility and viagra. Good luck!

he is stressed! but he does exercise everyday.. and i was also wondering.. he didnt have this problem until he had a hernia operation 8 months ago. thank you for the response !!! im just wondering if the 2 issues are connected??

Stress is a big factor work, money, pressure to perform at that moment of ovulation. Hernia could be part of it. Also if it happened once then guys think it will happen again. He needs more reassurance from you that its okay, and that he is still manly.

Have sex when its time to have sex, not when its time to procreate. Take that pressure off him. It may help.

well thank you for all the advice.. yea it's weird we just kind of put a connection with the 2 issues.  i really don't know much about hernias but it looks like we need check into it! and there is no pressure right now.. we aren't into the whole ovulation process yet that's why i think it's  important to figure this out before we get to that stage!thanks agin for the advice!!

after reading so much negative advice i thought i'd respond to your problem. there can definitely be a connection between the surgery and the loss of erection.  if he has erections during the night or morning, his plumbing is definitely working, so that is a good sign.  one thing he can do is try a viagra from the regular doctor.  if that works that is a very good solution.  if it doesn't work, then he'll have to see a urologist.  

good luck.

for the last 3 days I been having trouble Getting it up,   I been using steroids for about a year, Thats the MAX.  Just a 5 blend testosterone, and DECCA Durabolin, and i did that correctly, I didnt over do any doses,   i took the month off to re-cooperate,  and when i went back on it This is when the problems came into play,  I have never had this kind of problem in my whole life, im 35.    what should i do,  I have No idea, i went and bought some Ginseng   as i read that GINKGO Biloba   was good to create a erection,

And yes,  I have discontinued the use of steroids,  COMPLETLY,   my last was last thursday,    That when i started to notice bad things happening down stairs.

There is no morning erection,  or midnight erection,       Im scared to death here, i have learned my lesson.   I made a Stupid mistake,  and now i just want to correct this problem.  

any help would be greatly appreciated
