sometimes my penis get hard but sometimes it does not get that much errection

Your symptoms are of erectile dysfunction (ED) or Impotence.
The emotions and uncertainties that coincide with this men's sexual condition often have a significant effect on your health and self-esteem, as well as, your relationship with your sexual partner.

Eighty-five percent of ED is attributable to physical/organic conditions while only fifteen percent is due to psychological or mixed origin (both psychological and organic).

Although the incidence of ED increases with age, it is not an inevitable result of man's aging. Erectile dysfunction in men is a secondary health condition linked to many medical conditions.

Low levels of Testosterone or thyroid hormone can interfere with the stimulation process necessary in the erection sequence.

Psychological health issue is usually diagnosed when no physical causes can be defined.

Performance anxiety is one of the most common causes. When a man feels pressured to achieve or maintain an erection, he will commonly become anxious and nervous when in a sexually demanding situation. Stress increases the body's production of catecholamines such as adrenaline and nor-adrenaline, which act as erection inhibitors. The release of these inhibitors further contributes to failure resulting in more anxiety. Therefore, the cycle begins, increased stress resulting in increased catecholomines that further inhibits the erectile process.

Being over weight and not have much exercise could be a major cause of your problem. Another healthy benefit from regular exercise and physical fitness: Better love making life and sexual abilities.

Since the majority of causes of Erectile Dysfunction are physical, physical exam, Lab testing screening (Blood analysis can reveal problems with the hormones, a common cause of difficulties with penis erection) are beneficial.

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help answer this for me. It regards my bf, he has ED due to neuropathy, as he has type 1 diabetes. He says he has had ED for about 5 years but upto 2 years ago, viagra would work. Now it does nothing and he has also tried Caverject which also did nothing. I understand the neuropathy side of it, causing the nerves to not communicate with the brain but, every now and then, and we can't figure out why, it seems to go a little hard, but not enough for intercourse. What could be causing this? Could ppl please reply to sesesito@ hotmail.com 

Thankyou
