Even relatively young people have sexual weakness - medical statistics show that after 40 years, 39% of men were treated for impotence, and after 50 - already 69%. However, it is worth noting that those who "discovered" erectile dysfunction actually only needed proper rest and a review of the usual but unhealthy lifestyle. It should be noted that there is no standard of potency and if someone can and wants to have sex three times a day, then for others once a week is enough. It all depends on the sexual constitution.
In addition, sexual activity is influenced by age, temperament, lifestyle and relationships in a couple. Statistical data shows a wide range in terms of the norms of numerical indicators in the intimate life of different people. Let me give you some of them:
- The approximate frequency of intercourse during puberty is three times a day once a month;
- At the age of 30-45, having sex once a week does not mean reduced potency - only if it happens less often, doctors suggest a deviation from the norm;
- Boys under 30 make love three times a week, men aged 30-60 - two to three, after 60 - three times a month;
- Impotence caused by psychological reasons is recorded only in every fifth case, most often its cause is poor physical health.
Signs of potency deviation from the norm
Let's look at 5 different cases of potency disorders to understand what external signs indicate normal fatigue and stress and what signals serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, as well as psychogenic (from thoughts) and reflex (from touch), the penis stopped "getting up" in the morning.
Vascular pathologies are most likely to blame: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders are possible: often erectile blood simply does not stay in the erect penis, but immediately leaves it through the dorsal vein.
Smoking aggravates vascular problems: the arteries of a smoker's penis become half as narrow, which means that the erection will be half as weak.
How to help yourself: If you feel unwell, you should measure your blood pressure and if you notice any changes in it, contact your doctor immediately. It is worth changing your diet, reducing fatty meat and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing it) to a minimum, and definitely quit smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should consult a psychotherapist or initially use replacement therapy, such as a nicotine patch. With venous blood flow, doctors often determine the resection (removal) of the dorsal vein through which the leak occurs.Spontaneous and morning erections are good, but during petting they do not appear or disappear during the first friction.
This looks like a typical case of psychogenic ED associated with self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure, or fear of partner displeasure. Potency is also reduced due to constant overload and insufficient sleep.
Solution to the problem: You need to rest your body. Do not believe that great people slept 4 hours a day and their quality of life was not affected by this. It is unlikely that you will solve global problems that are worth neglecting your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day allows the body to recover and produce the amount of testosterone necessary for full sex. Quarrels and negativity in a relationship with a girl also affect potency, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy and pleasure.Attraction occurs less and less often and effort is required to achieve an erection.
There is a deficiency of male sex hormones - androgens, mainly testosterone. This happens due to old age, obesity, excessive use of alcohol or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, in order to achieve the highest results, are deprived of normal potency; Anabolic steroids act like testosterone, and their use causes a decrease in the production of this hormone in the body. In essence, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to get your libido back: Get rid of excess weight, but you will have to do it without chemical "burners", that is, drugs to quickly burn fat and gain muscle mass. A great solution would be to visit an endocrinologist for testing, instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Do not forget that the maximum safe dose of alcoholIt is equivalent to 30 ml of pure alcohol per day.The attraction is there, but the erection comes on slowly and disappears quickly.
It seems that nerve conduction is disturbed; This happens after diabetes, sciatica or spinal cord injury, when the parts of the spinal cord through which the signal of sexual arousal is transmitted from the brain to the penis have been affected.
How to increase potency: Visit an andrologist and a neurologist, get rid of sciatica, conduct supportive therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptors of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibration, the excitation generated in them is transmitted to the cavernous nerves of the penis, and it is possible to bring the organ into an excited state even in difficult cases.Erection weakens, painful pain appears in the lower abdomen, urination occurs often and in small portions.
The signs are very similar to the onset of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism itself is not broken, sex simply fades into the background due to poor health. By the way, at the beginning of the development of prostatitis, unusually fast ejaculation often indicates. However, similar symptoms may also indicate sexually transmitted infections.
What should I do: See a urologist, get your prostate checked, and get tested for STDs. You should not delay a visit to the doctor: sexually transmitted infections provoke the development of prostatitis, and in its advanced form, the prostate tissue changes irreversibly, which can lead to the onset of incurable impotence. In the early stages, inflammation of the prostate gland can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all the listed types of potential disorders, a healthy lifestyle and regular high-quality sex will be a good help in its recovery. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contacts - the more frequent they are, the more hormones are released into the blood, and vice versa - the less frequent sex, the less androgens, which are so necessary for men. is produced.
