Causes and treatment of impotence in men

According to official statistics, erectile dysfunction is observed in 152 million men. Studies have shown that the white American population is most susceptible to this problem because erectile dysfunction is constantly getting "younger" there. According to official figures, 17% of Americans under the age of 30 have sexual problems. When it comes to the healthiest nations, the Scandinavians come out on top. For example, 65% of Finns over 40 have never encountered this delicate problem.

Age-related etiology

On average, sexual dysfunction is observed in 20% of men between the ages of 20 and 60, but in 95% of cases it is possible to increase male potency if you follow medical recommendations without putting the situation on medication. However, errors cannot be ruled out in official statistics, if only because many men do not want to recognize the problem and try to solve it without the help of a specialist. However, if the lack of an erection after 60 years can be considered natural weakness and a decrease in hormone levels, then problems in 20-30 years are usually caused by diseases that require treatment.

In different age categories, the etiology of erectile dysfunction and thus the possibilities for restoring potency are different:

Age Main reasons How can you increase potency?
20-30 years old
  • Urogenital infections;
  • hormonal disorders;
  • psychological problems;
  • Vascular diseases;
  • Prostate disease
  • contact a specialist: urologist, venereologist, therapist, sexologist, psychotherapist;
  • Follow general recommendations

  • Diseases that can occur even after the age of 20;
  • acquired chronic diseases;
  • Obesity;
  • constant fatigue

  • cardiovascular and endocrine diseases;
  • Prostatitis;
  • Obesity;

  • Varicocele and thrombosis;

>60 years old
  • decreased testosterone;
  • chronic illness

The table shows the main reasons that most often lead to a violation of potency in men of a certain age, without indicating the general etiology. For example, erectile dysfunction can be observed during operations on the pelvic organs at any age. Only a doctor can make an accurate diagnosis.

The process of lowering the level of sex hormones cannot be stopped with age, but tangible signs of testosterone deficiency can be seen at 40, but not until 70. Hence, a healthy lifestyle is a necessary prevention against sexual dysfunction.

Sports - prevention of impotence

General recommendations

A healthy lifestyle is the basis of any therapy. If a person continues to use "flavor enhancers" such as alcohol or junk food, sex life becomes impossible without stimulants. Therefore, to increase potency, you should start with these tips:

  1. Refusal of alcohol. Despite the fact that alcohol is considered liberating and properly tuned, it only works for shy teenagers whose only problem may be premature ejaculation. Men over 20 years of age do not need any withdrawal drugs, and ethanol also slows down metabolic processes. With prostatitis, it is strictly forbidden. If the etiology of the impotence weakness is unclear, alcohol should therefore be completely avoided;
  2. struggle with extra pounds. Many people perceive the problem of being overweight as a purely aesthetic discomfort, but everything is much more serious. Scientists have shown that even 5 kg of excess weight leads to a decrease in libido and a decrease in the desire for sex. This is due not only to thoughts about their unattractiveness, but also to physiological problems: shortness of breath, weakness, decreased physical endurance, hormonal changes, etc. Therefore, even with minor deviations from a healthy weight, you need to return to normal, for which a carbohydrate-free protein diet is bestbest suited. However, a more accurate and suitable diet is individually advised by a doctor;
  3. good rest and sport. Regardless of the type of activity, everyday work and problems put physical and moral pressure on a man. Chronic fatigue has a detrimental effect on its sexual function. In order to increase male potency, it is therefore very important to get enough sleep and alternative work and rest phases. To avoid depression, it is recommended that you finish housework at least once a month on the weekend and get out of town to relax. An excellent remedy for the blues is a hobby that is enjoyable, best if it is some kind of light sport: cycling, running, swimming;
  4. regular sex. Constant contact with a partner is necessary to maintain healthy hormone levels, stimulate the maturation of high-quality sperm and prevent circulatory disorders. It is believed that 8 contacts per month is enough to maintain masculine strength, but if intimacy occurs more often, it is only a plus for general health and good mood;
  5. regular examination. Do not neglect a medical examination, since you will have to take care of men's health from a young age. Diseases detected early are much easier to treat. Given that the problem of erectile dysfunction and male infertility has "rejuvenated" over the past few decades, a checkup is simply necessary at least every six months.

To create a romantically relaxed atmosphere, instead of wine, it is better to light aromatic candles with the smell of nutmeg or coriander in the room. This is a well-known technique for increasing sex drive in Muslim countries where alcohol is prohibited.

Exercise bridge to improve potency

Exercises

According to statistics, erectile problems are due to decreased blood flow to the genitals in about 15-30% of cases. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the blood vessels from cholesterol and other "deposits" with the help of a diet, and also to increase the local microcirculation of the blood. To improve potency, it is enough to regularly do simple exercises at home:

  1. exercise "bridge";
  2. exercise "birch";
  3. Lifting the pelvis from the supine position - 10 times;
  4. exercise "bicycle" - 1–5 minutes;
  5. Step and jog with knees drawn up - 1–5 minutes;
  6. Tension and relaxation of the buttocks and pubic area;
  7. Rotation of the pelvis - do it clockwise until you feel a warmth in the lumbar area, as this is a sign of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
  8. turn - in the supine position, you need to touch your left elbow with your right knee and vice versa; 20 times is enough, but the exercise must be done quickly;
  9. Tension of the buttocks in a sitting position - you need to hold the tension for 5 seconds; 10 approaches are recommended.

It is best to do it early in the morning to revitalize the body, but if you can't, you can do the exercises in the evening, replacing the hearty dinner with vegetable salad with eggs and kefir. Protein foods do not cause weight gain and promote muscle building.

Staying in one position for a long time also has a detrimental effect on potency. Therefore, when working in the office or driving a car, it is recommended to take 5-10-minute walks, preferably on the stairs, at least several times a day and refuse to use the elevator. Climbing stairs every day is useful for increasing potency as it prevents blood stagnation and improves heart activity.

Scientists have proven that exercising outdoors is more effective. There is an acceleration in metabolism and an increase in cognitive functions by 20%. In addition, due to the increased production of serotonin, a person will feel less fatigue from such charging.

Bath procedures increase potency in men

Water process

Water treatments can also increase blood microcirculation in the pelvic organs, and traditional healers say they can even improve the molecular makeup of sperm. The group of such procedures should include a contrast shower, sauna and hip baths. A change shower is ideal for a quick restoration of potency. It can be taken just before intercourse to prevent erectile problems.

The bath is a more aggressive type of temperature effect. Ten minutes in the steam bath are enough to expand the vessels to the maximum. After that, you need to pour yourself a bucket of cold water, which not everyone can withstand. Therefore, such procedures should not be performed until after the person has got used to the contrast shower.

You can visit the bathhouse a maximum of 1 time per week. It is important to remember that with some diseases, the steam bath is completely contraindicated!

Among the waterways for increasing potency, the benefits of Sitz baths should be mentioned. You need to cook them as follows:

  1. with a mummy - put 15 g of mummy in a bowl of warm water (37-38 ° C) and take for 20 minutes 2-3 times a day;
  2. with turpentine - add 5 g of turpentine emulsion to the bowl. The duration of treatment is 10 minutes and the duration of treatment is 2 weeks;
  3. with medicinal herbs - you can take baths with various plants that increase potency, but chamomile is best. It perfectly dilates blood vessels, has a disinfectant effect and has no contraindications. The ratio of chamomile and water is 1: 30, and the duration of treatment is unlimited.
Freshly squeezed juices to normalize male potency

Diet to increase potency

Particular attention should be paid to the normalization of diet. Fast foods, synthetic and fatty foods make a man weak and sedentary, which leads to increased appetite suppressing sex drive. Alcohol can liberate you, but it inhibits erectile function.

Sausages are harmless, but dangerous with a high content of soy meat. All legumes, including soy, are high in plant analogues of estrogen (a female hormone), so using these products will inhibit testosterone synthesis. The highest concentration of vegetable estrogen is found in beer, which is why the man's stomach and chest enlarge with frequent consumption.

Among the products that improve potency and libido, preference should be given to walnuts, honey, seafood (shellfish, shrimp, crab), fish, dairy products, pomegranate, persimmon, various vegetables and herbs. In addition, it makes sense to season dishes with aphrodisiac spices: nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and pepper. It is very easy to enrich the diet with such products:

  • Vegetables are best eaten fresh so that they can be consumed as juice;
  • You can add dried ginger to baked goods, and sprinkle nuts and nutmeg on desserts;
  • it is recommended to prepare salads with beets, carrots, celery, eggs, cheese and green onions - both filling and healthy;
  • black tea and coffee should be replaced with juices, kefir, or green tea with honey, lemon and ginger;
  • You can make a vitamin mix from different nuts, honey, lemon, dried apricots and plums. it is stored for a long time, and to make up for the lack of vitamins and minerals, it is enough to consume 1 tablespoon of this mixture a day.

To avoid gaining weight, you need to monitor the amount of calories consumed and, if overweight, follow a diet. You need to eat often, but in small portions, and after lunch and dinner it is recommended to take small walks if possible. You should eat less salty, fatty and smoked foods and also avoid frying in favor of cooking, baking and steaming.

Sugar should be replaced with maple syrup or honey. Fruit juices are high in fructose, so it is better to drink vegetable juices instead. An excellent way to improve potency is to take a glass of milk with carrot juice before bed.

Trust between partners is important to correct erection problems

Partner influence

The role of a woman is very important in how to restore male strength. It is she who can convince a partner to turn to a specialist so that they perceive the problem as it is, without feeling inferior. In addition, their initiative in relation to sex, striptease and the demonstration of erogenous zones can cause strong arousal and solve the problem of unstable erection. However, it is very important that there is trust and not fear between the partners.

Regular sex with a steady partner reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer by three times. It is considered optimal to have orgasm twice a week.

Home remedies

Conventional medicine offers a huge range of all kinds of useful tips for increasing potency: from the use of pumpkin seeds to the use of leeches. The main means of herbal medicine are decoctions of hawthorn, lemongrass, dubrovnik, coriander, ginger and aloe. But nuts, honey and a milk and carrot shake are still the front runners here.

For erectile problems, herbalists recommend drinking a glass of nettle decoction an hour before the area. They claim that this wonder drug will restore male strength quickly.

Another popular method is the use of mustard plasters, which significantly increase blood flow to the pelvic organs. Before contact, you should lubricate the abdomen with oil, put a mustard plaster soaked in warm water on it and hold for 5-10 minutes. However, this method cannot be used often.

Folk remedies to increase potency

You can also find various home finger massage techniques on the Internet. But prostate stimulation is not a simple and painless proposition. It is only carried out by a qualified specialist if necessary and only in a hospital.

Turkish scientists have published the results of a study that found that among 350 random patients with erectile dysfunction there was not a single person with the first blood group. However, other researchers argue that there is no relationship between potency problems and blood type, and the numbers given are nothing more than blank and inconclusive.

Drug therapy

Modern medicine offers not only known drugs, but also other methods, for example, vacuum constructive correction. Although it stimulates blood circulation quite well, its effects are short-lived and the procedure should be performed immediately before sexual intercourse.

Injections into the penis are more effective, but not every man wants to receive the drug this way, as there are quite effective oral stimulants:

  1. However, the most effective drug from the group of PDE-5 inhibitors to increase potency is contraindicated in heart, liver and stomach diseases. Effective for 4 hours and helps cope with self-doubt;
  2. PDE-5 inhibitor, which is characterized by a prolonged action, or rather, maintains male strength for 36 hours;
  3. Natural homeopathic preparation with berry extracts that has a positive effect on the physical and mental state of the man. However, this is not a one-time stimulant, but rather a therapeutic agent that must be taken on a regular basis. The effect can already be felt on the fourth day of recording. The drug acts gently, is non-addictive, and promotes natural recovery and increased potency;
  4. Homeopathic drug with antibodies against endothelial NO synthase, the effectiveness of which is noticeable after 3 days of administration. It is prescribed not only to increase male potency, but also for other autonomic disorders: weakness, fatigue, low stamina;
  5. One of the PDE-5 inhibitors that increases potency many times over and is effective during the day;
  6. A very powerful remedy with a complex of African aphrodisiacs, which increases not only an erection, but also the endurance and duration of sexual intercourse. It should be taken 1 hour before intimacy;
  7. A drug with guarana, magnesium and amino acids that stimulates testosterone synthesis. This remedy increases the sensitivity of the penis, makes sex brighter, lengthens sexual intercourse and gives a person energy;
  8. Homeopathic herbal drops that increase potency. The manufacturer assures that it is better to use them as a prophylactic agent and restore potency after 60 years.

The use of stimulants is generally recommended to restore potency after 60 years of age, but they can also be used in younger men with certain diseases. With periodic erectile dysfunction in the form of a lack of orgasm or a fall of the penis during sex, you can limit yourself to a vitamin cure that has a positive effect on potency.
