Will I Be Able To Have An Erection? Will The Intake Of Viagara Damage My Health?

I AM 79 YRS OF AGE have been treated by radiation three years ago and currently have PSA tests every six months. My current reading is 0.016 and the last hormone treatment was nearly two years ago. I have not experienced an erection for quite some time and of course not been involved in intercourse with my wife. My question(s) is 1. Am I too old too have sex again? 2. Will I be able to have an erection? 3. Will I be able to take Viagara etc to help me reach this goal or could it damage my health in other ways?

Hi. #1. No, men are never old to have sex./ #2. Yes , it is possible to have an erection if the nerves supplying the penis have not been damaged due to radiation or weak due to aging. #3. Viagra can help only if the nerves are intact. This is the medicine which is not to be taken if you have heart ailments.
