partial erection
I am 60 years old. Cannot have a complete erection. Have tried cialis and viagra. Both ineffective. Presently taking Crestor for cholesterol. More so for raising my good cholesterol. Also taking xalaton and timolol for glaucoma. History of grade 1 transitional cell bladder cancer. Remission for 6 years.
My husband (56yrs old) is having difficulty maintaining an erection and states its because when we start making love he starts thinking of his ex-wife of 32 years and he loses his erection.What can we do?
Hi
You could be having erectile dysfunction (ED) which is the inability to maintain a firm erection long enough to have sex. 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.
You should get yourself evaluated by a specialist doctor as ED can have physical and psychological complications and sometimes ED is the first sign of an underlying medical condition.
Take care and do write in if you need more information.
