Every man wants to satisfy his partner sexually, but as they age, most men experience problems such as decreased libido, weakened erections, and problems with ejaculation. Many men after 40 years of age observe similar symptoms, the consequences of which can be impotence and infertility. Let's take a closer look at what factors lead to a decrease in potency at the age of 40 and what methods there are to improve them.
Potency in men over the age of 40
Many men face sexual problems after forty years. There are many factors that affect an erection and a healthy libido. Let's consider the main ones:
- Hormonal imbalance. A decrease in the main male hormone testosterone is one of the reasons for a decrease in libido and worsening erection. Low androgen levels in a man's blood can lead to impotence. After 30-35 years in the male body, testosterone decreases by 1-2% per year. Severe symptoms of low hormone levels occur closer to the age of 40, so men often miss the optimal time to restore hormonal balance;
- Cardiovascular system pathology. Another reason for a decrease in potency at the age of 40 can be the clogging of blood vessels with cholesterol, as a result of which blood flow to the genitals is impaired or absent. This not only provokes erectile dysfunction, but also ischemia, stroke and heart attack;
- Diseases of the genitourinary system. If symptoms of decreased potency are detected, a man should immediately consult a doctor who, after a full diagnosis, will prescribe the necessary treatment. Finally, self-medication or, conversely, the lack of treatment of the pathology can lead to consequences such as impotence.
All of these are the most important and common causes of decreased potency in men between 40 and 45 years of age. But there are other factors that contribute to erectile dysfunction:
- Alcohol abuse;
- Tobacco smoking for ten years or more;
- Passive lifestyle;
- Obesity;
- wrong diet;
- Irregular intimate life;
- Long-term use of antibiotics, psychotropic drugs and hormone preparations.
Since the factors listed gradually begin to negatively affect a man's body, the symptoms of erectile dysfunction do not appear immediately. Many representatives of the strong half of humanity simply do not notice them or pay no attention to them, since they do not interfere with sexual activity, as a result of which they get weak sexual desire and an unstable erection by the age of forty.
Treatment activities
Treatment for erectile dysfunction at the age of 40 consists of two phases:
- Identification and elimination of the causes of weak potency;
- Improve erectile function.
Treatment with drugs is only possible under the strict supervision of a qualified doctor. Because the correct diagnosis and the timely start of treatment are the keys to a speedy recovery.
After a man goes to the clinic, a specialist first conducts a survey and examination of the patient and transfers a referral for the necessary tests. Only then can the urologist make an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective method of treatment. Eliminating the causes of erectile dysfunction and increasing potency requires a lot of time and patience, since treatment lasts from one to three months. After completion of therapeutic therapy, the patient will gradually return to his masculine strength. Until potency is fully restored, a man can take libido and erection stimulants.
Means to increase potency
There are two ways to stimulate male potency:
- With small deviations, you can increase potency using folk remedies:
- Pomegranate juice. A glass of pomegranate juice improves blood circulation and therefore promotes erection;
- Garlic infusion. Pour boiling water over four cloves of garlic and let steep for two weeks. Consume a teaspoon a day;
- Sea buckthorn tea. 1, 5-2 tablespoons of sea buckthorn berries need to be poured with 250 ml of boiling water, persist for 30 minutes. Drink instead of tea;
- A mixture of honey and nuts. It is necessary to mix chopped nuts and honey in equal proportions. Consume 2-3 teaspoons 2 times a day.
- In a "neglected" case, you can use drugs that quickly induce sexual arousal and improve erection. If a man has cardiovascular problems, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or other serious medical conditions, you should see your doctor.
All drugs are widely used and popular with men. This is due to the abundance of advertising and popularization in the media. We do not recommend taking synthetic pathogens, since they do not restore sexual functions and have a negative effect on the body, worsening the condition of the liver and genitourinary system. We strongly recommend using only natural preparations and extracts from plants and animals - this will help you restore the body's sexual functions, stimulate testosterone production and improve overall health.
