How To Correct An Erection Problem? 4 Possible Solutions For A Weak Erection

As a man, you will know how important sexual prowess is to you. If your penis is not up to it, if you cannot achieve a hard erection on demand, you may feel vulnerable and lost. Your self-esteem is hurt. You may feel useless and not "man enough".

Erectile Dysfunction (or ED) is a very common problem among adult men, especially the older ones. Erection problems (or erectile dysfunction) refers to a man's inability to get a hard erection for sexual intercourse. About 25% of the male population suffers from this dreaded condition, so its not just you.

Erection problems can be temporary. In this case, it will go away with little or no treatment at all. But erection problems can also be permanent and it is this more serious version that will damage a man's self esteem and harm his relationship with his partner.

Is this happening to you right now? Are you experiencing these erection problems?

1. Cannot achieve an erection when you want to. Your little willy just refuses to wake up no matter how you whack him? A big problem there.

2. Cannot hold an erection more than a few minutes at a time. A frustrating experience, to say the least. Just when you are ready to penetrate her, your penis goes limp. What a letdown!

3. Your erect penis feels more like a soft, ripe banana rather than a firm, crunchy cucumber. Not a good situation as it is not hard enough to penetrate your partner.

If you are experiencing some or all of the above symptoms, you may be having ED(or male impotence) and will need help.

But first, you need to understand why Erectile Dysfunction happens in the first place and how to treat it when it hit you.

1. ED tend to affect men in their later years. Middle aged and older men often experience some sort of male impotence due to the decrease in the male hormones.

2. Erectile Dysfunction can be psychological due to stress, anxiety. The pressure to perform can be high and can affect how the penis react.

3. Erectile Dysfunction or male impotence or ED can be physical. This means somewhere, some part of the male sexual system is malfunctioning, cutting out much blood supply to the penile tissues. This will affect the erectile strength of the penis.

What should you do if you have Erectile Dysfunction? Firstly, you need a physical examination to rule out injury, side effects from medicine or diseases and disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, kidney disease, alcoholism, or multiple sclerosis etc.

Next, according to your own situation, you may opt for any or all of the following 4 remedies :-

1) A vacuum pump or more commonly known as a penis pump. This is a device which creates a vacuum around the penis so that blood is drawn into the penis causing the penis to engorge, thus creating an erection. There some risks involved in this method so it is not a recommended remedy.

2) Penis surgery (or phalloplasty) can be performed to restore blood flow to the penile area if the blood vessels to the area is restricted and malfunction. But phalloplasty carries the possible risks of infections and surgical failure and is therefore not a very good solution.

3) Medication like Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, etc, These are prescription drugs that carry their own risks. You need a physician's precription before you are able to buy them. If your doctor recommends them, then is is probably alright for you to try them. Note that there are also non-prescription supplements that can help men get a harder erection and solve the ED problem. Refer to my author resource box below for some ideas.

4) A penile prosthesis or extender, also sometimes called a penis traction device or penis stretcher is another option you can choose. This is one of the better option as it is risk free and medically proven. On top of that, it may even add some inches to your member, if you're so inclined.

Depending on your own situation, you can arrest the problems of a weak erection and regain your sexual prowess. And thus regain your lost self esteem.

Of the three possible solutions above, I'm more in favor of non-prescription herbal supplements because there are safe, effective and easy to use.
