Symptoms and Causes of Weak Erection
Weak erection is caused by an insufficient blood
flow to the penile sponge-like tissues. The chambers in the
penis that expand and hold blood in the penis may not be getting
the necessary blood flow or may be experience a leak due to
a penile injury.
When a penile injury occurs, it can cause a venous leak that
is not severe enough to cause impotence but results in a weak
erection. The blood flow heading towards the penis is not
strong enough to maintain an amount of blood that flows in
faster than it flows out of the leak.
There are many causes of penile injury. One
such injury can be inflicted with a penile pump. Forced penis
enlargement with a penile pump can lead to severe damage of
the arteries in the penis reducing blood flow. The penile
pump also damages the blood chambers within the penis resulting
in venous leaks.

Weak erections are also a symptom of hormonal
imbalances. Without the proper hormones to trigger an expansion
of the sponge-like tissues in the penis, blood flow cannot
be trapped in the penis to hold a firm erection.
Over 35% of men in the United States alone suffer
from Weak Erections. Weak erections can eventually lead
to impotence. With a weak erection, the male penis is
not firm enough to enter the female vaginal or provides a
weak stimulation. Without
proper blood flow to the penis, the nerves in the penis that
provide the stimulation need to achieve an orgasm and ejaculation
do not get the proper nutrients need to maintain its health.
