I am 67 years old. My prostate was removed in 1999, but I got semi-erections till 2005. Now, nothing, even with lots of attention. Anything I can do?

It might be age-related. The older the man, the more likely he is to suffer erection problems. You’re 67. At your age, more than half of men experience erection difficulties.
It might be drug-related. Have you started any new medication lately? If so, discuss your erection situation with the prescribing physician. Perhaps another drug might be substituted.
It might be relationship-related. How are things in yours? Sometimes the penis detects relationship problem before the mind realizes them.
It might be stress-related. Any family problems lately? Money woes? Chronic irritants in your life? The stress of major hassles can impair erection. And the cumulative stress of several minor hassles can, too.
