Brief Answer:
different possible causes
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Erectile function is dependent on 4 factors mainly: (1) adequate blood supply
(2) adequate nerve function in the area
(3) appropriate levels of hormones
(4) psychological factors- conflict, low mood,stress etc can affect erections
High blood pressure can affect the blood supply so it is possible that this is the cause.
You should rule out hormonal causes by having levels for testosterone tested. LH, another hormone involved in testosterone levels, may also be tested.
If testosterone is low, then you can be given replacement to help.
In some cases of thyroid disease, this problem can also occur, so if your doctor thinks you have any symptoms in keeping with thyroid disease, this can be assessed.
Medications such as viagra, cialis or levitra can help with erectile function. These normally require a prescription.
If there is any conflict/stress that may be playing a role, it would be important to also address this.
Summary: (1) can be related to blood supply or hormones or nerve supply or psychological issues. Combination also can occur
(2)can be tested for any hormonal causes
(3)medications such as viagra, cialis or levitra may help
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions

what's the best one?
Brief Answer:
can try cialis first
Detailed Answer:
HI
All three should be taken thirty to 60 mins before sexual activity, cialis and levitra can last up to 8 hours though viagra can sometimes last 4 hours only.
There is a type of cialis that can last for 24 hours.
Cialis can also be taken with or without food in the stomach whereas the other 2 work best on an empty stomach.
Since cialis can be taken at any point and you have the option of the 24 hour variation, you can try cialis first.
Persons respond differently, if it does not work for you , you can try one of the others
If anything else unclear, let me know
