Sex is an important part of a man's life, regardless of his age, preferences, financial capabilities and many other factors. Often after 40-45 years begins a decrease in libido and potency.
But today there are cases when erectile dysfunction, slow or incomplete erection occurs at a much younger age. Let's find out what are the causes of low potency and how to deal with this problem.
The main reasons for low potency
Experts say that only a doctor can find and properly eliminate the cause of reduced potency after communicating with the patient and conducting an in-depth examination. In some cases, you may need to consult several doctors at once, such as a cardiologist, endocrinologist, andrologist, neurologist, urologist, and others.
Among the main reasons for low potency in men, experts identify the following factors:
- chronic diseases, such as high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, prostatitis, diabetes 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 pelvis;
- physical, mental, psycho-emotional overload;
- unfavorable environment at home and at work;
- frequent stress and anxiety, increased anxiety, depression, apathy;
- Overweight;
- bad habits;
- unbalanced diet;
- lack of self-confidence, fear and strong excitement before intercourse;
- lack of sufficient rest;
- congenital and acquired pathologies of the genital organs.
Another reason for reduced potency is irregular sex life, masturbation, which 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, or bicycle can lead to a deterioration in the blood supply to the penis and cause potency problems. Also, doctors have found a link between periodontitis (gum disease) and "male weakness".
Signs of low potency
As we have already learned, the reasons for the decrease in potency can be different. The first signs of such a phenomenon are usually a decrease in the desire for intimacy with a woman. The reduction in potency manifests itself in different ways:
- the desire for sex occurs rarely or not at all;
- no morning erection - the reasons for this may lie in the banal fatigue, age-related changes or diseases;
- lack of erection during foreplay before sex;
- incomplete or slow erection, which may fall at the most inopportune moment;
- the impossibility to perform long and quality sexual intercourse;
- ejaculation problems;
- decreased sensitivity of the penis and blurred sensations during orgasm.
If one or more of these signs appear for the first time or are very rare, then you should not be alarmed. Often such a short-term reduction in potency is caused by overload, 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 his 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 following simple rules:
- Get more exercise during the day, take breaks and distract yourself from work to walk.
- Walk more in the fresh air, exercise moderately, do morning exercises.
- Give up cigarettes and hookahs, 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, pastries and baked goods.
- Strengthen immunity in every possible way. If there are no contraindications and serious health problems, then whatever the reasons for poor potency in men, a positive impact on sex life and overall tone of a man will have hardening procedures, visits to baths, saunas, steam baths.
- Have a normal sexual life without long periods of abstinence and sexual exhaustion due to too frequent sexual intercourse.
- Less nervous and anxious, eliminate stress and overload from life.
- Wear only comfortable and high quality underwear made of natural fabrics.
Only an integrated approach will help solve the problems of slow potency, find the causes and choose the treatment that is best done by a specialist. It is impossible to achieve positive results and maintain a full sexual life without a healthy and active lifestyle.
Treatment of low potency
It is impossible to treat erection problems on your own, as it is impossible to find the causes of 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 dwell on the catastrophe that has happened.
If within a week there is no improvement in health or in addition to a decrease in potency, notice other alarming symptoms, such as frequent and painful urination, difficulty ejaculating, a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen, blood or pus in urine or semen, thenyou should consult a doctor. . .
Usually, in order to eliminate the causes of sluggish potency and to normalize a man's sexual life, after the examination, specialists choose a complex therapy. This takes into account the individual characteristics of a person, his health, age and other factors. In case of slight deterioration of potency, the doctor prescribes a vitamin-mineral complex, chooses tonics and tonics.
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 nutritional supplements to improve potency.
But such methods do not always have proven clinical efficacy. In addition, they do not help everyone, although they have minimal contraindications and possible side effects.
In some particularly serious cases, when it is not possible to improve potency in a natural way, the doctor chooses an erection stimulator for the man.
Unfortunately, they have many contraindications and possible side effects, not suitable for everyone. It is impossible to use such means as prevention of erectile dysfunction.
If erection problems have arisen due to a disease, then its treatment is carried out in the first place and only then measures are taken to restore potency. For example, if the cause of a slow erection is prostatitis, then therapy is performed to eliminate the inflammation.
In addition, if the cause of erectile dysfunction is specific drugs used constantly, including antidepressants and drugs to lower blood pressure, then the specialist may choose another drug that has the same therapeutic effect, but less dangerous for potency.
Conclusion
Remember that if your potency is low, the causes and treatment of this condition can be very different. It is difficult to understand what exactly affected the erection itself. And the treatment you choose can be not only useless but also dangerous to health.
Therefore, at the first symptoms of erectile dysfunction, you should reject all doubts and shyness and go to a good specialist. With this approach, the chances of a full recovery of potency at any age, even at 60, increase significantly.
