Detailed Answer:
Hello welcome to HCM FORUM
You are 50 years old and have problems of poor erection of penis resulting in inability to penetrate. Erectile dysfunction (ED) at your age can occur due to following common reasons-
- One possible medical reason behind poor erection is advancing age. With age some loss of potency occurs which can be considered as normal. But that doesn't reach to such severity that one fails to penetrate.
- Associated hypertension in an individual can be a common cause. Hypertension results in loss of erection and individuals loose confidence. I would advise you to get your blood pressure checked to rule out this condition. If BP comes in higher range then also get your lipid profile checked. In hypercholesterolaemia progressive loss of erection occurs. Visit a doctor for treatment if any abnormal test results are observed.
- Diabetes is also one of commonest reason for loss of erection. Autonomic dysfunction occurs in chronic diabetics. Get your tests done for diabetes to rule out the condition.
- If everything comes normal then other possible reason for your symptoms is anxiety and psychological dysfunction. In most of individuals with erectile dysfunction anxiety comes out to be main cause. If you are getting spontaneous nocturnal erections in penis during sleep then most likely the reason is psychological. Visit a physician for help.
In most of individuals medicines like Sildenafil or Tadalafil result in improvement in erection. These drugs improve erection and usually prescribed on SOS basis. Visit a doctor for prescription, the symptoms will resolve with these medicines.
Thankyou
