What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
my penis is weak at specific area where it will be easy to bent it down during erection at that area only. This lead to difficulties during intercourse because penis is bending down at that area while entering except if i choose a position where the pressure is in the top of the penis. Penis in erection is bent down from that area. Is this erection weakness or break?

Hi,
Erection problems can have many causes. These include Physical problems, such as injury to nerves or loss of blood supply to the penis.
Other health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.Side effects of certain medicines. Stress. Drinking too much alcohol or smoking.
The exam, lab tests, and sometimes mental health tests can help find out the cause of the problem.
Treatment is based on cause and includes avoiding tobacco and drugs and limiting alcohol.
Also, talking about the issue with your partner, doing sensual exercises, and getting counseling may be beneficial. Finding and then stopping medicines that may be causing the problem.
In some cases you can take a different medicine that doesn't cause erection problems. Taking prescription medicine that can help you get erections.
These include pills such as sildenafil (for example, Viagra), tadalafil (for example, Cialis). In most cases, this is sufficient for treatment but you should just be patient and do necessary tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
