Brief Answer:
Erectile problems are common at this age

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.

Erectile dysfunctions are common at your age and particulalrly when you are having type 2 diabetes.

Causes for erectile dysfunction at your age are long standing hypertension, diabetes mellitus, neurological diseases, injury over lower back, spinal cord problems arising from lumbosacral osteoarthritis and slipped disc.

So you have higher age, diabetes. Two factors that contribute to your erectile dysfunction. Another important point is possible prostatic hypertrophy. It is common after 65. It may be causing problem in urination. It can cause feeling of urgency in passing urine, increased frequency of urine, slowness of urine flow, dribbling of urine, feeling of passing urine but nothing comes out etc. It can also cause burning during urination.

Stress is also a cause for erectile dysfunction. Rumination about recent failures in bed can cause this. Performance anxiety and anxiety related to partner satisfaction may be the reason. Anxiety can be dealt with a new begining every time and forgeting what was in the past. You can also do yoga and meditation for decreasing stress. If you have stress related to particular issue then you should deal it first.

Treatment options for erectile dysfunction at your age are viagra, penile pump, alprostadil injection or tablets etc. There are limited options here.

Viagra you can not take on your own. You have to visit your physician and understand how it affects your heart and circulatory system. It has serious side effects.

Penile pump os very good option. Do not release pressure rapidly. You can hold erection up to 20 to 30 minutes without damage to your penile tissue. Holding erection for more than 30 minutes is dangerous.

Alprostadil tablets and injection has also serious side effects. It should be taken after consultation to a physician and sexologist only.

You are using the right treatment option. Visit a sexologist and learn the proper method of using it. You can find videos regarding how to use penile pump online. You should watch them. Release pressure after 20 to 30 minutes.

So finally go for prostate examination by a surgeon doctor, undergo urine examination tests, use penile pump properly, control your sugar level, deal with your anxiety and stress. By doing all these you will find a solution to your problem.

Hope I have naswered your query. If you have further query then I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
