- lack of vitamins and mineral components;

- sedentary lifestyle;

And this is only a small part of those factors that can provoke the development of sexual health problems. Only a qualified specialist can establish the true cause, so you should not postpone a visit to a urologist, even if such an event bothers you.
Lost morning erection?
As for the reasons for the lack of a morning erection, they may depend on those factors that were listed in the previous section, and may be due to the following nuances:
- strong emotional and physical overload;
- taking medications before bedtime;
- pathology of the cardiovascular system;
- hormonal imbalance;
- improper sleep mode.
However, if you woke up in the morning and did not find your penis in a state of excitement - this is not a cause for concern! The penis can fill up with blood from 1 to 12 times per night. But how to determine the presence or absence of nocturnal erection? Everything is extremely simple. Stick a strip of postage stamps on your penis in the evening. If in the morning it will be torn - it means that your member was active at night at least once.
Signs and Symptoms
Thinking about what to do in the absence of an erection? Doctors recommend in this case to begin an immediate course of treatment. However, before you go to the pharmacy for a drug, be sure to study the symptoms of erectile dysfunction. Perhaps your body is just experiencing normal fatigue. Here are the main signs that indicate health problems:
- lack of sexual desire and interest in sexuality;
- inability to experience orgasm during sex;
- the disappearance of involuntary erection in the morning;
- premature ejaculation.
In the presence of one or more symptoms, it is recommended to consult a specialist for a comprehensive examination. Remember that the lack of an erection can indicate a serious disease that requires immediate treatment.
Accompanying illnesses
In some cases, a complete lack of an erection in a man indicates a certain pathology, which can eventually develop into a serious disease. To avoid this, be sure to consult with a specialist and undergo a comprehensive medical examination (if necessary). Otherwise, you may simply not notice one of the following diseases:
- benign prostate formation;
- infectious urological diseases;
- type 2 diabetes mellitus;
- some forms of sclerosis;
- Parkinson's disease;
- hypertension;
- arrhythmia.
Do not forget that in most cases an erection occurs due to a violation of blood circulation in the pelvic organs. Various cardiovascular diseases can lead to this condition. Particular attention to their health should be paid to men who had people who died of a heart attack in their family. The risk of transmission of cardiovascular disease by inheritance is quite high.
Lifestyle
The reasons for the lack of an erection in men are not always associated with serious illnesses. In some cases, an incorrect lifestyle can lead to a similar problem. For example, a man may not corny sleep enough or experience serious emotional stress. Problems with an erection began to arise more and more often against the background of depression and other diseases of a psychological nature. Therefore, if you have "failed" several times - this is not a reason to sound the alarm or despair.
Also, do not forget that the quality of food is rapidly declining every year. The same applies to drinking water, which is used by residents of megacities. A huge amount of exhaust gases is a completely separate topic that deserves special attention. In some cases, rest in the village or visiting a sanatorium helps to restore male power. It's also never too late to start eating right and doing sports.
Treatment
The lack of an erection is easily treatable with the help of modern medicine. Moreover, temporary and minor disorders can be corrected without the intervention of a specialist. It will be enough to give up bad habits, normalize the work schedule, show physical activity or consume more vitamins.
You can also deal with the problem with the help of a special massage or a special charge for potency. However, a course of such therapy can take a sufficiently long period of time, so it is rarely resorted to. For more severe cases, the following forms of treatment are suitable:
- application of the vacuum method;
- surgical intervention;
- genital injections;
- physiotherapy.
Most men, in the presence of problems with an erection, prefer medical treatment, taking dietary supplements based on natural ingredients or using aphrodisiacs, which increase the surge of strength in the male organ for several hours. Which of the following methods is the most effective? Let's get it right.
Dietary supplements

To the intake of dietary supplements resorted to with mild erectile dysfunctions.
The choice of dietary supplements is simply huge today. All of them are available without a prescription and can be purchased at any pharmacy. However, the cost of dietary supplements leaves much to be desired. Of course, you can buy some extract of ginger root for 300-400 rubles, but in most cases expensive drugs are sold in pharmacies, the cost of which exceeds several thousand rubles.
As for reviews of dietary supplements, everything is very ambiguous. Some people write that this or that drug has a complex effect on the whole body, and also returns the man to his former strength. Others say that dietary supplements are a product whose treatment outcome will depend on the strength of the patient’s self-hypnosis. It is not clear who to believe.

These drugs have a chemical composition, but there is no doubt in the health of the tablets. This is evidenced by the huge number of positive reviews on the Internet from patients and doctors.

Inhibitors act directly on blood vessels, expanding them and filling them with scarlet liquid. This leads to a stable erection for the next few hours and an increase in sexual desire.
