Sex is an important aspect of a man's life, regardless of his age, preferences, financial capabilities and many other factors. Often, after 40-45 years, a decrease in libido and potency begins.
But today there are cases when erectile dysfunction, slow or incomplete erection occurs at a much younger age. Let's understand what are the reasons for low potency and how to deal with this problem.
The main causes of poor potency
Experts say that only a doctor can detect and properly eliminate the cause of reduced potency after communicating with the patient and conducting a thorough examination. In some cases, it may be necessary to consult several doctors at once, for example, a cardiologist, endocrinologist, andrologist, neurologist, urologist and others.
Among the main reasons for low potency in men, experts identify the following factors:
- chronic diseases, for example, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, prostatitis, diabetes mellitus and others;
- taking certain medications, including antidepressants, hormones, blood pressure lowering pills;
- harmful working conditions and poor environmental conditions;
- sedentary lifestyle and stagnant processes in the small pelvis;
- physical, mental, psycho-emotional overload;
- unfavorable environment at home and at work;
- frequent stress and anxiety, increased anxiety, depression, apathy;
- excess weight;
- bad habits;
- unbalanced diet;
- lack of self-confidence, fear and intense arousal before sexual intercourse;
- not resting enough;
- congenital and acquired pathologies of the genital organs.
Another reason for reduced potency is an irregular sex life, masturbation that replaces full-fledged sex, or frequent changes of partners.
Some other factors can also negatively affect potency. For example, many experts claim that frequent riding a motorcycle, horse, bicycle can lead to a deterioration of the blood supply to the penis and cause problems with potency. Doctors have also identified a link between periodontitis (gum disease) and "male weakness".
Signs of low potency
As we have already learned, the reasons for reducing potency can be different. The first signs of such a phenomenon are usually a decrease in the desire for intimacy with a woman. Potency reduction manifests itself in a different way:
- desire for sex occurs infrequently or not at all;
- there is no morning erection - the reasons for this may be banal fatigue, age changes or illness;
- lack of erection during foreplay before sex;
- incomplete or slow erection, which may fall at the most unfavorable moment;
- inability to perform long-term and quality sexual intercourse;
- ejaculation problems;
- decreased sensitivity of the penis and blurred feelings during orgasm.
If one or more of these signs appear for the first time or are very rare, then you should not sound the alarm. Often, such a short-term decrease in potency is caused by overwork, stress, or an unfavorable environment and does not require treatment.
General recommendations for increasing potency
Erection is a very complex mechanism that is influenced by various external and internal factors. Any problems in the body can cause a man to lose potency for a few days or forever. Indeed, without timely diagnosis and treatment, some diseases can lead to irreversible changes in tissues, leading to impotence and infertility.
To maintain men's health as a preventive measure or in the presence of erection problems, experts recommend the following simple rules:
- Get more exercise during the work day, take breaks and get away from work to take a walk.
- Walk more in the fresh air, exercise moderately, do morning exercises.
- Quit smoking cigarettes and hookah, alcohol.
- Eat a balanced diet. It is advisable to include as many aphrodisiac foods as possible in your diet. These are chicken and quail eggs, fresh herbs, berries, fruits, seafood, spices, ginger. It is also important to exclude from the usual diet all foods with synthetic additives, fast food, sweets and pastries.
- Strengthen your immunity in all possible ways. If there are no contraindications and serious health problems, regardless of the reasons for poor potency in men, it will positively affect the sex life and general tone of the person, hardening procedures, visits to baths, saunas, steam rooms.
- Lead a normal sexual life, in which there are no long periods of abstinence and sexual exhaustion due to frequent intercourse.
- Less nervous and anxious, get rid of stress and overload from life.
- Wear only comfortable and quality underwear made of natural fabrics.
Only an integrated approach will help solve the problem of slow potency, discover the reasons and choose the treatment for which he is the best specialist. It is impossible to achieve positive results and maintain a full sexual life without a healthy and active lifestyle.
Potency treatment
Erection problems are impossible to treat on their own, because it is impossible to discover the reasons for poor potency and decreased libido without examination. If you have any problems, try to change your lifestyle to a healthier one. Relax and develop. Don’t think about the accident that happened.
If there is no improvement in health within a week or, in addition to a decrease in potency, you notice other disturbing symptoms, such as frequent and painful urination, difficulty ejaculating, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, blood or pus in urine or semen, then a doctor should be consulted. . .
Usually, in order to eliminate the causes of slow potency and normalize a man's sex life, after the examination, experts choose a complex therapy. In doing so, the individual characteristics of the person, his health condition, age and other factors are taken into account. With a slight deterioration in potency, the doctor prescribes a drink vitamin-mineral complex, selects strengthening and toning preparations.
What can help with low potency?
For erection problems caused by stress and anxiety, it is recommended to resort to sedatives, decoctions of lemon balm and mint, as well as some other herbs. Some experts recommend the use of homeopathic remedies, folk recipes and dietary supplements to improve potency.
But such methods do not always have proven clinical efficacy. In addition, they do not help everyone, although they have a minimum of contraindications and possible side effects.
In some particularly difficult cases, when it is not possible to improve potency in a natural way, the doctor chooses an erection stimulator for a man.
Unfortunately, they have many contraindications and possible side effects, they are not suitable for everyone. It is impossible to use such means as prophylaxis for erectile dysfunction.
If erection problems are caused by any disease, then first of all its treatment is carried out, and only then measures are taken to restore potency. For example, if the cause of a delayed erection is prostatitis, then therapy is performed to remove the inflammation.
Also, if the cause of erectile dysfunction is specific drugs that are constantly used, including antidepressants and drugs to lower blood pressure, then the specialist may choose another drug that has the same therapeutic effect, but less dangerous to potency.
Conclusion
Remember, if your potency is low, the causes and treatments for this condition can be very different. It is difficult to find out for yourself what negatively affected your erection. And the treatment you choose can prove not only useless, but also dangerous to health.
Therefore, at the first symptoms of erectile dysfunction, you need to discard all doubts and shyness and go to a good specialist. This approach significantly increases the chances of a full return of potency at any age, even from the age of 60.
