the last several months i have not been
able to get a erection. i wake up with one
in the mornings and try to have sex but it
wont stay hard. i love my wife very much.
i take meds for my health problem had
bypass operation. take simvastatin for
cholesterol, plavix blood thinner,
metoprolol tartrate don't know what that
is for. baby aspirin every day,
levothyroxine na for thyroid
hypothyroidism, omeprazole for stomach
ulcer.
According to your age and medical history
(coronary disease, hypothyroidism,
overweight…) your erectile dysfunction
(impotency) could be due to
atherosclerosis of the arteries in the
penis and to thyroid dysfunction.
Hypogonadism (decreased function of the
testicles) should be also checked. Obesity
can also be a contributing factor.
You may want to consult a urologist and
endocrinologist about your problem.
You should be careful with certain
medicines for impotency (Viagra etc.)
because you have a heart disorder. You
have to consult your cardiologist before
taking any medicine for treating
impotency.
