At a young age of up to 25 years, men do not even think about a possible decline in sexual activity. They are confident and full of energy. But by the age of 30, there may be periodic difficulties with potency, its decrease. Erectile function is in decline. But this does not mean that the potency completely disappears. A certain stability, periodicity is simply established.
And the statement that at the age of 40 a man is very close to impotence is completely wrong. Everything is very individual. In addition, urologists say that the body of a young man has a certain reserve of his sexual activity. And you can't fool nature.
A man's sexual health is affected by many different factors, from psychological to physical factors simultaneously. Various diseases of the heart, stomach, liver, combined with depression, stress and stress affect the decrease in potency.
Factors affecting potency
The first reason is endocrine
The most common diseases of the endocrine system are manifested in hormonal imbalance, the production of sex hormones in the testicles or pituitary gland, as well as in various injuries, tumors, which lead to a clear decrease in testosterone in the male body, which is the main hormone responsible forerectile function and arousal. The study of such health problems is dealt with by an endocrinologist. Hormonal preparations often help to normalize the hormonal background, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed and potency is normalized.
The second reason is medication.
There are a huge number of drugs that negatively affect potency and cause disorders in the sexual sphere. These drugs include hormonal agents - female hormones that are often used in the treatment of cancer. But in this case it is about the fight for life. Drugs, alcohol, various antidepressants negatively affect a man's sexual function.
Some pills that are used daily have a negative effect on the genital area (diuretics, antacids, diphenhydramine). Therefore, before using these drugs, you should carefully read the instructions for use before use and consult a specialist. He will indicate all the advantages and disadvantages of the drug and will be able to prescribe an analogue that will not adversely affect sexual function.
The third reason is neurology
Many diseases of the brain and spinal cord, as well as various neurological diseases, affect the decrease in potency. Neurological disorders and diseases include:
- Parkinson's disease;
- disorders of blood circulation in the brain;
- epilepsy;
- sclerosis;
- various injuries and operations in the perineum and pelvis;
- systemic and autoimmune diseases.
The methods of treating neurological diseases in modern medicine are quite limited, and the only way to fix the problems is sometimes penile prosthesis.
The fourth reason is psychological
Psychological problems, especially at an early age, can cause problems related to the sexual sphere. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to fatigue, stress, deep depression, poor health, neurosis, complete dissatisfaction with the sexual partner and oneself.
The fear of becoming pregnant or the fear of contracting sexually transmitted infections also affects the decrease in potency. An erection does not occur when wearing a condom or in uncomfortable situations and environments.
Selective type is another type of erectile dysfunction. It is the inability to have a sex life with a certain partner while having a successful sex life with others. Erectile dysfunction is related to the psychology of men. Potency may decrease during the first intercourse due to excitement. In other cases, everything goes smoothly.
Other reasons
In this problem, there are also local causes (local injuries, injections) that replace the functional tissues of the penis with connective ones. Impaired blood circulation in the penis, which leads to erectile dysfunction. Vascular sclerosis can also involve prolonged intercourse, in which the man deliberately delays ejaculation to prolong his partner's pleasure.
If the tissue replacement process takes place, then the results can be disappointing.
Vascular problems that affect potency reduction are divided into two types:
- venous outflow of blood;
- arterial blood flow disorder.
With an arterial blood flow disorder, the erection practically does not occur and is not as complete as possible. With venous outflow, arousal occurs quickly, an erection occurs, but quickly disappears, sometimes without even allowing the sexual act to begin or end.
Such disorders occur due to diseases:
- injuries to the perineum and pelvis;
- phleburism;
- inflammation of the lining of blood vessels - endarteritis;
- narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and deposition of cholesterol - atherosclerosis of the aorta.
It should be noted that due to smoking or taking drugs and a number of other reasons, blood circulation in the penis is impaired. The treatment of this disease consists in the use of drugs that affect vascular tone.
Chronic diseases of the pelvic organs can be caused by a decrease in immunity and the tone of the penis. Sexually transmitted diseases lead to depression, neurological diseases and erectile dysfunction. To fully restore potency, you need to undergo complex treatment.
There is also treatment of anatomical changes in the genitals (incorrect location of the opening of the urethra, changes in the penis) through surgical intervention, but such cases are extremely rare.
Ways to fight
The main rule is the awareness of the problem and the desire to deal with it. Most men facing such a problem are afraid to go to the doctor because they think it is an extremely intimate problem. Nowadays, a huge number of anonymous treatment rooms, websites and counseling have appeared, where they will help understand the problem and give some advice.
Know that there is nothing fatal and irreparable about this problem. A decrease in potency often has functional causes, and the right lifestyle, avoiding stress and the right emotions help a man to restore his male power.
Products enriched with minerals and trace elements have a beneficial effect on increasing potency. These include aphrodisiacs that increase blood flow to the genitals. New sensations in sex life and harmony are important for men. Experts recommend diversifying your sex life or changing a partner who does not satisfy you in any way. If you try to change something in your life, the results can be positive.
To eliminate the main causes of men's health problems, you need to lead a proper lifestyle, exercise regularly and contact specialists in case of a problem. Rejection of bad habits, regular sex life, refusal to take medication will lead to positive consequences. Regularly see a urologist if there are injuries, diabetes or hypertension.
Products with a negative impact on health
Products that reduce potency:
Your first enemy is alcohol
Alcohol is the first and most serious enemy of male sexual power. Alcohol or soft drinks are harmful even in small amounts. Doctors say that alcohol affects the testicles worst and leads to their dysfunction. Drinking alcohol and poisoning the body and reproductive function with ethyl alcohol leads to the complete disappearance of a fulfilling sex life.
Your second enemy is cholesterol
If we talk about products of animal origin, then it is worth remembering that the enemy of the male reproductive system, and especially in middle age, is the cholesterol contained in such products. It affects not only the cardiovascular system, but also disrupts blood circulation in the genitourinary system. You must constantly control the cholesterol content in the blood, do not eat fatty foods, meat of fatty varieties. But it is not necessary to exclude meat from the diet, it contains trace elements that increase the necessary level of testosterone in the body. Meat simply should not be abused.
Your third enemy is salt
Salt is now an essential element of nutrition. It is impossible to completely eliminate salt from consumption, as it is an integral part of many products. Salt food should be immediately after cooking and before eating. Salt is not worth it.
Your fourth enemy is caffeine
Caffeine is one of the most undesirable foods to consume because it binds free testosterone and reduces its concentration. A cup of coffee in the morning will not harm your health, but you should limit the consumption of the drink during the day.
The effect of herbs on potency
Traditional medicine has become popular among the treatment of many diseases. So, men often turn to such methods for the treatment of potency. It is very difficult to find an herb that has a negative effect on potency, but it has been proven that the same herb can affect the health of men and women differently. Herbs such as saffron and cornflower will have a calming effect, but at the same time reduce potency and sexual desire.
Useful herbs for men's health will be:
- decoction of yarrow root;
- galangal tincture;
- Dubrovnik.
When using herbs, it is worth remembering the wide range of their effects on the body. These herbs have no side effects and have a positive effect on the body and potency.
