Question: What can I do to improve my weak erection
Answer: Hello there and thanks for your question

By weak erections I suppose you mean inability to sustain an erection

The reasons vary and could be due to some factors like age body size or body mass index BMI disease lifestyle mental state to name a few

The strength of erections normally decreases after 50 years some say later than this However in younger men this could happen once in a while and should not be a concern except when its becoming too frequent If the frequency is increased regardless of age you should see a doctor to do a proper assessment of what could be the possible cause

Your body size may also influence your erection Being overweight or obese puts you at risk of erectile dysfunction Obesity also hampers your enjoyment of the intercourse process which could affect your esteem and mental state So its important to embark on a weight loss program and exercise often Obesity also puts you at risk of diseases like diabetes and hypertension which can affect your erection

Diseases too like the ones mentioned above diabetes and hypertension and others like prostate disorders could lead to erectile dysfunction A history of trauma to the penis or scrotum deformities in the penis etc are also possible factors Again a full assessment by your doctor could identify this

Are you in a sound state of mind Are you depressed Are you anxious and over worrying Especially with young men this could influence your erections Having a relaxed and worry free mind can improve this condition

If this tends to occur during intercourse are you indulging in foreplay with your partner Taking it slow allows for the urge to heighten and the blood flow to the penis to increase Enjoy the process of intercourse and dont rush it Talk with your partner if there are any insecurities This can boost the attraction between you two and make the process enjoyable

Exercise always as this boosts the production of sexual hormones

Hope this helps
