An insufficient blood flow to the penile tissue causes a weak erection. When the level of blood flowing into the region is insufficient the penis cannot expand fully. If these tissues cannot retain blood too there can be a problem as the penis cannot grow to its full size. Constriction of the veins and arteries supplying blood reduces the flow causing such a problem. This can be caused by the aging process and by other factors like smoking and a diet that is high in cholesterol and fat. A penile injury that causes venous leaking can also cause the penis to be unable to hold the blood flow, even if there is a sufficient blood flow and this could also be a cause of a weak erection.
There are both biological and Psychological factors that can be responsible for this problem. Cardiovascular, endocrine or urological problems can contribute significantly to this dysfunction. It is important to first ascertain the probable cause of your problem so that you can treat it. If you are a healthy man with no other health complaints then it is probably brought on by a psychological problem. Depression, anxiety, stress and a feeling of inadequacy are very often the causes of erectile dysfunction.
Make sure that you have a regular exercise schedule and that your diet consists of fruits and vegetables. Nutritional deficiencies and a lack of exercise can aggravate this problem. Garlic is probably one of the most effective remedies for erectile dysfunction as it improves blood circulation and ensures the proper functioning of the penile veins and arteries. Onions (increase libido) and carrots are also considered to be highly effective in treating this problem. You can have a daily salad that includes both these vegetables as well as three cloves of raw garlic chopped fine.
