At a young age, up to 25 years, men do not think about a possible decrease in sexual activity. They are confident and full of energy. However, there may be periodic difficulties with a decrease in potential up to the age of 30. Erectile function decreases. However, this does not mean that the potential is completely gone. A certain stability, periodicity is simply established.
And the statement that a man is very close to impotence at the age of 40 is completely wrong. Everything is very individual. In addition, urologists say that a young man's body has a certain reserve for sexual activity. And you can't cheat nature.
A man's sexual health is also affected by many different factors, from psychological to physical factors. Various diseases of the heart, stomach, liver, depression, stress and stress have an effect on the reduction of potency.
Factors affecting potency
The first reason is endocrine
The most common diseases of the endocrine system are manifested by hormonal imbalance, the production of sex hormones in the testicles or pituitary gland, as well as various injuries and tumors that cause a clear decrease in testosterone in the male body. is the main hormone responsible for erectile function and arousal. An endocrinologist deals with the study of such health problems. Hormonal preparations often help to normalize the hormonal background, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed and the potential returns to normal.
The second reason is drugs.
There are many drugs that have a negative effect on potency and cause sexual dysfunction. These drugs include hormonal agents - female hormones, which are often used to treat cancer. But in this case, we are talking about the struggle for life. Drugs, alcohol, various antidepressants have a negative effect on a man's sexual function.
Some pills that are used every day have a negative effect on the genitals (diuretics, antacids, diphenhydramine). Therefore, before using these drugs, you should carefully read the instructions for use and consult a specialist before use. He will be able to prescribe an analogue that will show all the advantages and disadvantages of the drug and will not have a negative effect on sexual function.
The third reason is neurology
Many diseases of the brain and spinal cord, as well as various neurological disorders, affect the reduction of potential. Neurological diseases and disorders include:
- Parkinson's disease;
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- epilepsy;
- sclerosis;
- various injuries and operations on the perineum and pelvis;
- systemic and autoimmune diseases.
In modern medicine, the methods of treating neurological diseases are quite limited, and sometimes the only way to eliminate problems is penile prostheses.
The fourth reason is psychological
Psychological problems, especially at a young 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.
Fear of getting pregnant or contracting a sexually transmitted infection also contributes to reduced 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 sex with a particular partner while having a successful sex life with others. Erectile dysfunction is related to the psychology of men. The 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 that replace the functional tissues of the penis with connective tissues (local injuries, injections). Blood circulation in the penis is disturbed, which causes erectile dysfunction. Vascular sclerosis can also involve prolonged intercourse, where a 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 affecting the decrease in potency are divided into two types:
- venous blood flow;
- violation of arterial blood flow.
With a violation of arterial blood flow, erection practically does not occur and is not as complete as possible. Excitement with venous flow occurs quickly, an erection begins, but quickly disappears, sometimes without even allowing sexual intercourse to begin or end.
Such disorders occur due to diseases:
- injuries of the perineum and pelvic region;
- phlebeurism;
- inflammation of the mucous membrane of blood vessels - endarteritis;
- narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and deposition of cholesterol - atherosclerosis of the aorta.
It should be noted that smoking or taking medicine and a number of other reasons disrupts blood circulation in the genital organ. Treatment of this disease consists in the use of drugs that affect vascular tone.
Chronic diseases of the pelvic organs can occur due to a decrease in immunity and the tone of the penis. Sexual disorders cause depression, neurological disorders and erectile dysfunction. To fully restore potency, you need to undergo complex treatment.
Anatomical changes in the genitals (misalignment of the opening of the urethra, change of the penis) can also be treated with surgery, but such cases are extremely rare.
Ways of struggle
The main rule is to be aware of the problem and be willing to deal with it. Most men who face a similar problem are afraid to go to the doctor because they consider it an extremely intimate problem. Nowadays, a large number of anonymous treatment rooms, websites and consultations have appeared to help understand the problem and give some advice.
Know that there is nothing fatal or irreparable about this problem. The decrease in potency often has functional causes, and the right lifestyle, avoiding stress and the right emotions help a man to restore male power.
Products enriched with minerals and trace elements have a beneficial effect on increasing potency. These include aphrodisiacs that increase blood flow in the genitals. What is important for men are new sensations in sexual life and harmony. Experts recommend diversifying your sex life or changing a partner who does not satisfy you in some way. If you try to change something in life, the results can be positive.
To eliminate the main causes of men's health problems, you should lead a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly and contact specialists when problems arise. Rejection of bad habits, regular sex life, refusal to take medication will lead to positive results. If you have injuries, diabetes or hypertension, consult a urologist regularly.
Products that have a negative effect on health
Products that reduce potency:
Your first enemy is alcohol
Alcohol is the first and most serious enemy of male sexual power. Alcoholic or low-alcohol drinks are harmful even in the smallest amount. Doctors say that alcohol affects the testicles the most and leads to their dysfunction. Drinking alcohol and poisoning the body and reproductive function with ethyl alcohol leads to the complete disappearance of a full-fledged sex life.
Your second enemy is cholesterol
If we are talking about animal products, it is necessary to remember that the male reproductive system, and especially the enemy in middle age, contains cholesterol in such products. It not only affects the cardiovascular system, but also disrupts blood circulation in the genitourinary system. It is necessary to constantly control the content of cholesterol 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 should not be abused.
Your third enemy is salt
Salt is already an important element of nutrition. Since salt is a component of many products, it is impossible to completely remove it from consumption. Salty food should be immediately after eating 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.
Effect of plants on potency
Traditional medicine has been popular among the treatment of many diseases. Therefore, men often resort to similar methods to treat impotence. It is very difficult to find a plant that will have a negative effect on potency, but it has been proven that the same plant can affect the health of men and women in different ways. Herbs such as saffron and cornflower will have a calming effect, while also reducing potency and sexual desire.
Useful herbs for men's health will be:
- decoction of calamus 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.
