At a young age of up to 25 years, men don't even think about a possible decline in sexual activity. They are confident and full of energy. But, already at the age of 30, there may be periodic difficulties with potency, its decrease. Erectile function is in decline. But that doesn't mean the potency disappears completely. A certain stability, periodicity is simply established.
And the claim that at age 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 at the same time. Various diseases of the heart, stomach, liver, combined with depression, stress and stress affect potency decrease.
Factors that influence potency
The first reason is endocrine
The most common diseases of the endocrine system are manifested in hormonal imbalance, in the production of sex hormones in the testicles or the pituitary gland, as well as in various lesions, tumors that lead to a clear decrease in testosterone in a man's body, which is the main hormone responsible for erectile function and arousal. The study of such health problems is handled by an endocrinologist. Hormonal preparations often help to normalize the hormonal background, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed, and potency returns to normal.
The second reason is medication.
There are a large number of drugs that negatively affect potency and cause violations of the sexual sphere. These drugs include hormonal agents - female hormones, which are often used in the treatment of cancer. But in this case, the question is about the struggle for life. Drugs, alcohol, various antidepressants negatively affect a man's sexual function.
Some pills used every day have a negative effect on the genital area (diuretic drugs, acid-reducing drugs, 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 disorders, affect potency decrease. Neurological disorders and diseases include:
- Parkinson's disease;
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- epilepsy;
- sclerosis;
- various injuries and operations on the perineum and pelvis;
- systemic and autoimmune diseases.
Methods for treating neurological diseases in modern medicine are quite limited and the only way to eliminate problems is sometimes a penile prosthesis.
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, health problems, neurosis, complete dissatisfaction with the sexual partner and with 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 using a condom or in uncomfortable situations and environments.
The selective type is another type of erectile dysfunction. It is the inability to have a sex life with one partner while having a successful sex life with others. Erectile dysfunction is associated with the psychology of men. Potency may decrease during first intercourse due to arousal. In other cases, everything runs smoothly.
other reasons
There are also local causes of this problem (local lesions, injections) that replace the functional tissues of the penis with connective ones. Violated blood circulation in the penis, which leads to erectile dysfunction. Vascular sclerosis can also include prolonged sexual intercourse, in which a man deliberately delays ejaculation to prolong his partner's pleasure.
If the tissue replacement process takes place, the results can be disappointing.
Vascular problems that affect decreased potency are divided into two types:
- venous outflow of blood;
- arterial blood flow disorders.
With an arterial violation of blood flow, an erection practically does not occur and is not as complete as possible. With venous flow, arousal occurs quickly, an erection sets in, but quickly disappears, sometimes without allowing intercourse to begin or end.
Such disorders occur due to diseases:
- injuries to the perineum and pelvic region;
- phlebeurism;
- inflammation of the lining of blood vessels - endarteritis;
- narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and cholesterol deposition - atherosclerosis of the aorta.
It should be noted that due to smoking or taking medication and various other reasons, blood circulation in the penis is disturbed. The treatment of this disease consists of the use of drugs that affect vascular tone.
Chronic diseases of Organs pelvic organs can be caused by a decrease in immunity and penile tone. Sexual diseases lead to depression, neurological diseases and erectile dysfunction. To fully restore potency, you must undergo a complex treatment.
There is also the treatment of anatomical changes in Organs genitals (inappropriate location of the opening of the urethra, changes in the penis) by surgical intervention, but such cases are extremely rare.
ways to fight
The main rule is awareness of the problem and the desire to deal with it. Most men, faced with a similar problem, are afraid to go to the doctor, as they consider it an extremely intimate problem. Nowadays, a large number of treatment rooms, websites and anonymous consultations have emerged, where they will help to understand the problem and give some advice.
Know that there is nothing fatal and irreparable about this problem. Decreased potency usually has functional causes and the right lifestyle, avoidance of stress and the right emotions help a man to restore his masculine strength.
Products enriched with minerals and trace elements have a beneficial effect on increasing potency. These include aphrodisiacs, which increase blood flow to the genitals. Important for men are new sensations in sex life and harmony. Experts recommend diversifying your sex life or switching partners that don't satisfy you in any way. If you try to change something in life, the results can be positive.

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 low-alcohol drinks are harmful even in small amounts. Doctors say that alcohol affects the testicles in the most harmful way and leads to their dysfunction.

It affects not only the cardiovascular system, but also interrupts blood circulation in the genitourinary system. Constantly need to control blood cholesterol content, 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 shouldn't be abused.
Your third enemy is salt
Salt is already an essential element of nutrition. It is impossible to completely remove salt from consumption as it is an integral part of many products. Salty foods 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 as it binds to free testosterone and reduces its concentration. A cup of coffee in the morning will not harm your health, but you should limit your consumption of the drink during the day.
