Any man wants to satisfy his partner sexually, but with age, most men have problems such as decreased libido, weakened erection and problems with ejaculation. Many men after 40 years old observe similar ailments, 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 exist to improve it.
Potency in men aged 40
Many males are faced with sexual problems after forty years. There are many factors that affect an erection and a healthy libido. Let's consider the main ones:
- Hormonal disbalance. A drop in the level of the main male hormone testosterone is one of the reasons for a decrease in libido and a deterioration in erection. A low androgen content in a man's blood can lead to impotence. After 30-35 years in the male body, testosterone declines by 1-2% per year. Severe symptoms of low hormone levels appear closer to 40 years, so men often miss the optimal time to restore hormonal balance;
- Pathology of the cardiovascular system. Another reason for a decrease in potency at the age of 40 may be the blockage of blood vessels with cholesterol, as a result of which blood flow to the genitals is disrupted or absent. This provokes not only erectile dysfunction, but also ischemia, stroke and heart attack;
- Diseases of the genitourinary system. If any symptoms of a decrease in potency are found, a man should immediately consult a doctor, who, after a complete diagnosis, will prescribe the necessary treatment. After all, self-medication, or vice versa, the lack of treatment of pathology can lead to consequences such as impotence.
All of the above are the main and most common causes of decreased potency in men 40-45 years old. But there are other factors that contribute to erectile dysfunction:
- Alcohol abuse;
- Tobacco smoking for ten years or more;
- Passive lifestyle;
- Obesity;
- Improper nutrition;
- Irregular intimate life;
- Long-term use of antibiotics, psychotropic and hormonal drugs.
Since the listed factors have a negative effect on a man's body gradually, the symptoms of impaired potency do not appear immediately. Many representatives of the strong half of humanity simply do not notice them, or do not pay attention to them, since they do not interfere with sexual activity, as a result of which they receive 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 stages:
- Identification and elimination of the causes of weak potency;
- Improving erectile function.
Treatment with medicines is possible only under the close supervision of a qualified doctor. After all, correctly diagnosing and starting treatment in a timely manner is the key to a quick recovery.
First of all, after a man goes to the clinic, the specialist conducts a survey and examination of the patient, gives a referral for the delivery of the necessary tests. Only after this can the urologist make an accurate diagnosis and choose the most effective treatment method. Eliminating the causes of erectile dysfunction and increasing potency requires a lot of time and patience, since the course of treatment lasts from one to three months. After the completion of the therapeutic therapy, the patient will gradually begin to return his masculine strength. Until the full restoration of potency, a man can take libido and erection stimulants.
Means for increasing potency
There are two ways to stimulate male potency:
- With small deviations, you can raise potency using folk remedies:
- Pomegranate juice. One glass of pomegranate juice will improve blood circulation, therefore, enhance erection;
- Garlic infusion. Pour boiling water over four cloves of garlic, let it brew for two weeks. Consume one teaspoon a day;
- Sea buckthorn tea. 1. 5-2 tablespoons of sea buckthorn berries need to be poured with 250 ml of boiling water, insist for 30 minutes. Drink instead of tea;
- A mixture of honey and nuts. It is required to mix chopped nuts and honey in equal proportions. Consume 2-3 teaspoons 2 times a day.
- With a "neglected" case, you can use drugs that quickly cause sexual arousal and improve erection. If a man has problems with the cardiovascular system, type 2 diabetes mellitus or other serious diseases, you need to consult a doctor.
All medications are widespread and popular among 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 sexual functions of the body, stimulate testosterone production and improve overall health.
