What to do if a man has potency problems

It is very important for every man to be sexually strong. One of a man's greatest subconscious fears is sexual impotence, or impotence. Nevertheless, already after 40 years a man can begin to show the first signs of a decrease in potency.

In this case, you need to eliminate all complexes and consult a doctor, because in the early stages this problem is treated quickly and effectively.

Potency Problems: Types of Disorders

Impotence is a gradual decrease and extinction of a man's sexual function. The disorder can periodically recall after the age of 40, and with age the man only intensifies if no action is taken. There are symptoms (or criteria) that allow a doctor to diagnose decreased potency in a man:

1. A man's lack of sexual attraction to a woman.
2. With sexual desire, a man always experiences difficulty in achieving an erection, that is, erectile dysfunction is observed.
3. A man cannot insert an erect penis into a woman's vagina.
4. A man has premature ejaculation, while the erection is very short-lived.
5. A man has a delay or even a complete absence of ejaculation.
6. To reach orgasm, a man needs special conditions (for example, in a car, elevator, park, etc. , where other people can see sex, or in other non-standard conditions).

There are 2 types of impotence, depending on the nature of its onset:

• ORGANIC. This type of disorder occurs due to any problem in the body: certain illnesses, medications, injuries, etc.
• psychogenic. This disorder occurs due to all psychological factors: stress, subconscious fear of sexual failure, insecurity, psychological trauma, etc.

However, many reasons can contribute to the development of potency disorders. It is very important to know them, because identifying the cause of the problem is the first step to getting rid of the problem itself.

Potency problems: causes

What to do if a man has a sexual disorder? First of all, you need to identify the reason that led to this.

Among the most common causes of the development of the problem in men are the following:

• irregular sex life. If a man's sex life is irregular, potency decreases and sexual behavior is distorted.
• Infectious diseases. Sexually transmitted diseases, modern medicine treats them quickly and effectively. But only drugs that give such a good therapeutic effect significantly reduce potency. Therefore, too active sexual behavior, sex with different partners is not the best option. The danger to potency is also not completely cured of diseases of the genitourinary system: prostatitis, orchitis, vesiculitis, urethritis, etc.
• chronic diseases. Diseases such as hypertension, disorders of the endocrine system, diabetes mellitus, prostatic hyperplasia, significantly reduce sexual desire.
• bad habits and objective factors. Alcohol abuse, drug abuse, a passive lifestyle, smoking, irregular sleep and diet, an unfavorable climate are also enemies of a man's sexual potency.
• age factor. After 40 years, the "first bells" of a weakening of a man's sexual strength may appear. At the same time, you have to understand that everyone has their own body, their own rhythm, their own conception of the norm. Therefore, you should not take as an axiom the norm established by doctors - at least 1 sexual intercourse per week. If a man has a norm, for example, 1 act in 10 days, then you should not "sound the alarm" and prove to yourself and your partner that everything is in order with his potency. This will lead to exhaustion of the body, and then really to disorder.

For any man, the fact that he is no longer capable of all that he was capable of just recently is a huge stress. But impotence is treated quickly and effectively. And the sooner a person turns to a specialist, the faster and easier it will be to solve the problem.

Potency problems in men: physiological aspect

The onset of impotence is very easy to explain in terms of physiology. To do this, you just need to understand the specifics of the structure of the male penis and the mechanism of the onset of an erection. The shaft of the penis has a spongy structure containing many cavities. This is what allows the erection process to start.

When a limb is in a calm state, blood circulation takes place as follows: blood quietly enters the cavities through the arteries and leaves through the veins. In a state of sexual arousal, there is a sharp increase in blood flow to the caverns, while the veins narrow, which impedes the flow of blood. And every cavity is filled with blood. Outwardly, this manifests itself precisely in the tension and enlargement of the penis.

It should be noted that almost all men at least once had a situation where they could not get an erection. And it is not a pathology, even less a sign of impotence. If such a situation constantly occurs, then only in this case it is possible to diagnose impotence.

The physiological nature of impotence

There are a number of causes of impotence, which are purely physiological or physical in nature. These include:

• hormonal disorders. First of all, the cause may be a malfunction of the gonads, which are responsible for the production of testosterone. This problem has several signs: the timbre of the voice rises, excess fat deposits on the hips, buttocks, chest, hair growth on the body and face slows down. Another cause could be a pituitary tumor. This is fraught with the fact that the tumor is actively producing prolactin. It is the overabundance of this hormone that causes the disorder.
• sclerosis of the cavernous tissue. In other words, the fine tissue in the penis cavities dies and is replaced by coarse tissue. The cause of sclerosis, in turn, can be injury to the penis, priapism, intentional delay in sexual intercourse (if this is a frequent practice).
• disorders of the cardiovascular system. Diseases such as aortic aneurysm, varicose veins and atherosclerosis can lead to potency problems in men. They directly affect the process of inflow and outflow of blood into the penis. In particular, blood flow to the penis may become insufficient, which will contribute to prolonged and sometimes even painful erections. In this case, the limb is, so to speak, in a semi-excited state. Or, on the contrary, there may be too intense a flow of blood, which allows an erection to come quickly, but just as quickly and end. Sometimes a man does not even have time to complete sexual intercourse.
• nervous system disorders. Diseases such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis can cause problems in sex life. However, these diseases often worsen a person's condition and reduce his quality of life so much that sex is the last thing on his mind.

Potency problems in men: the psychological aspect

Impotence can also have a psychogenic character. This means that it was psychological factors that influenced a man's sexual power. These possible reasons usually include:

• Psychological trauma. This can be a variety of situations: for example, a man had a sexual failure, but he did not receive support from a woman. Worse still, if a woman not only showed resentment or annoyance, but made fun of a man, accused him of not loving her or, even worse, called her helpless. The behavior and reaction of a woman in such situations plays a huge role.
• stress, nervous tension, depression. The life of a modern man is full of stressful situations; for many, life is literally a race to the bottom. It is not surprising that sooner or later a man begins to experience difficulties in an intimate matter.
• complexes, subconscious fears. According to andrologists, the reasons why a man begins to have difficulties are in the psyche. The complex that it will not be possible to satisfy a woman (for example, during the first intimacy), the fear of "angrying" (especially if there have already been precedents), etc. - all this instantly affects the potency of a man. In addition, there may be incompatibility of partners, which can also lead to impotence. According to andrologists, of all the possible causes of impotence, the most common is psychological. Therefore, the treatment of men with such a diagnosis is usually carried out by a psychologist (sex therapist). <

Methods of treating potency disorders

There are several approaches to treating the disorder. Depending on the severity of the disease, its cause, the age and general health of the patient and other factors, the doctor may offer an option:

medical therapy

Pharmacies are full of various drugs "for potency". But not all men believe that they can, on the contrary, harm the body. Moreover, if a man, for example, suffers from impotence due to disorders of the endocrine system, no matter how many pills he takes, they will not help him, because the situation will only improve afterelimination of endocrine disorders. Therefore, you should always remember that drug treatment is the preserve of a specialist.

Consultations with a psychologist (sex therapist)

A psychologist (sex therapist) can help not only in cases of psychogenic impotence, but also when a man experiences a very harsh diagnosis, falls into a state of depression, etc. A psychologist can help a person:

1. Determine the cause of the problem (fears, complexes, stress, uncertainty, etc. ).
2. Solving these psychological problems (for example, getting rid of complexes or learning to manage stress).
3. Get out of the state of despair, depression, etc. , if these experiences exist.
4. Provide psychological support, help the patient to look to the future with optimism.

As a rule, if a person has a severe illness, drug treatment is combined with psychotherapy, which gives an excellent therapeutic effect.

Penile prosthesis

This is a drastic measure, which is used as a last resort, when none of the treatment methods have helped. Usually this method is offered to men at a younger age. The operation gives 100% effect, is performed at such a high level that even specialists do not always notice that a penis prosthesis has been made.

Only a doctor treats patients. He conducts diagnostics, a comprehensive examination, identifies the cause of the disorder and, solely on the basis of these data, prescribes the necessary treatment for a particular patient. Sometimes a psychologist works with both partners, since the effectiveness of treatment directly depends on the correct behavior of the woman.

Additional activities

These include, for example, dietary recommendations, which in the early stages of the disorder can even resolve the situation on their own. In more severe cases, diet is a mandatory additional measure. It is important for any man to eat foods rich in vitamins E, C, beta-carotene.

Vitamin E contains all kinds of nuts, sunflower seeds, beef liver, buckwheat, oatmeal, eggs, vegetable oils (especially soy) in its raw form.

Vitamin C is found in sea fish, seafood, berries, citrus fruits (especially lemons), fruits.

Carrots, peppers, all kinds of cabbage, green vegetables (especially parsley), apricots contain beta-carotene in large quantities.
