It is believed that problems with potency begin at the age of 40 due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already taken place as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. Nevertheless, from the age of 40 the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that around 50% of men by the age of 40 will notice the first signs of problems with erectile function. It also negatively affects the mental state, often men worry about depression. But an injury or even complete loss of an erection by the age of 40 is not a penalty for impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that after 40 years in men, potency worsens mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is an all-male hormone responsible for libido and sexual function, i. e. an erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even at extreme age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even at extreme age.
But the modern way of life and the negative impact of external factors have a negative effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not so actively produced, its quantitative and qualitative properties decrease.
Overall, there are several factors that affect a man's potency. The main causes of impotence in men over the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medications performed by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect male potency. It is also harmful to thoughtlessly take drugs to treat blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- The lack of a regular sex life in a man. Excessive sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, this leads to disruption of blood circulation, the functioning of the prostate and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases of the male urogenital system. Due to this, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you understand, this does not bode well for potency;
- obesity in men. Obesity is a provocateur of hormonal imbalances. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to an increase in another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the earliest signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer fatty junk foods. In some cases, just normalizing a healthy diet and giving up bad habits is enough to restore the former quality of erections.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, a variety of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or to treat them at the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function.
But men do not always pay due attention to their own health. Only relevant signs that indicate the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can make them think about seeing a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you need to take much more serious measures. For this reason, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency decreases to even a small level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of full erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ is hardened but not strong enough. This condition is observed throughout sexual intercourse;
- An erection appears unstable, at certain moments it can become significantly weaker, but then it returns to its previous level;
- The man cannot have sexual intercourse. Although arousal is present, an erection still does not occur;
- It takes a long time to build a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved within seconds. If there are signs of developing impotence, erection will require much more time and additional stimulation;
- There is no ejaculation, although with an erection everything is normal and arousal is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to the loss of erectile function;
- A man does not feel the same pleasure in sex. After 40, men often complain about a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but it is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to think that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious mistake. 40 years is a completely normal age when the ability to have an erection should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex again brings joy and the process of arousal does not cause difficulties.
Impotence, the complete loss of erectile function, by the age of 40 is a rarity. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be dealt with. Without action, the potency really will not return.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to resort to taking potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when potency begins to decrease due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 years is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist after the examination will tell you. In no case should you start taking medication without having previously diagnosed impotence problems. Before you see a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful foods reduce potency, while healthy and healthy foods normalize it. So, to maintain and improve potency and erectile function, you should eat right;
- Play sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). Jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful for potency;
- Train regularly for potency. There are a number of exercises designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Basically, give up bad habits. Everyone knows their detrimental effect on male potency;
- Somehow diversify your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, the use of toys. A man needs to stimulate interest in sex, which has a positive effect on potency, that is, erectile function.
- Communicate openly with a psychologist if problems with potency have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and attention to issues of his own health. There are also factors that are beyond men's control, and modern medicine can help most of them manage them.
