Soft erections?!
Question:
Soft erections?
Please no sarcastic answers, this is serious. Soft erection=oxymoron, I know. Don't bother pointing it out.
Anyways, I get them fine and all, doesn't cause me any problems, but it seems abnormal. How hard is it supposed to be exactly? I can't get completely hard most of the time. Hard enough to do what i need to do, but not completely hard. Normal? What's wrong? How can I fix it?
Answers:
This is a serious question and deserves a well-thought-out response. I am NOT a doctor, but I have worked in Urology for many years as a surgical nurse. The first thing that came to mind was venous leakage. Venous leakage is a relatively common cause of erectile dysfunction. An inability to achieve and maintain the full erection occurs because blood leaks out in the presence of an adequate arterial inflow due to a damaged veno-corporo-occlusive mechanism. There are five theorized types of venogenic impotence. See link below for the full story.
You will need to schedule an appointment with a urologist for consultation. He/she will most likely induce an erection in the office to observe tumescence (how hard it gets).
Don't be embarrassed about it - it's more common than you think and highly treatable. Good luck.
