Brief Answer:
decrease in blood flow to sclerosis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mr. XXXX,
I can understand your concerns.
With age, the elasticity of penile blood vessels decrease due to accumulation of fat. This causes reduction in blood flow to penile arteries at the time of erection.
This lead to weak erections or early loss of erection.
For the treatment, drugs like tadalafil (prescription drug) are help to achieve and sustain erection.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.
Take care.
Thanks.
