It is believed that potency problems at the age of 40 begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men at this age have already established themselves as fathers, professionals and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. However, by the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men by the age of forty, the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. In addition, it negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But the violation or even the complete loss of an erection at the age of 40 is not a sentence of impotence. You just need to find the causes of the violations and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that potency after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. It is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, i. e. erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Because of this, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to impregnate women even in old age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Because of this, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to impregnate women even in old age.
But the modern way of life and the negative influence of external factors have a bad effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not produced as actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In general, there are several factors that affect a man's potency. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medicine that is done by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true for hormonal drugs that affect male potency. It is also harmful to recklessly take drugs for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to produce testosterone on its own;
- The lack of a regular sex life in the man. Too frequent sexual contact is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, it provokes disturbances in the work of blood circulation, the functions of the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Due to them, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you understand, this does not bring anything good for the potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalance. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to an increase in another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to that of testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the earliest signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer junk fatty food. In some cases, it is enough to simply normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits, to restore the previous quality of erection.
What does the development of impotence indicate
As you can see, various reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or to treat them in the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to a complete loss of sexual function.
But men do not always pay the necessary attention to their own health. Only the corresponding signs indicating the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can push them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to a complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency decreases even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of full erection. During arousal, the man feels that the genital organ is hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed during the entire intercourse;
- The erection is unstable, at certain times it can significantly weaken, but then it returns to its previous level;
- A man cannot have intercourse. Although arousal is present, an erection does not yet occur;
- Elevating a member takes a long time. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a few seconds. If there are signs of developing impotence, the erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and arousal is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to the loss of erectile function;
- A man doesn't get the same pleasure from sex. Often men after 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem sometimes has a purely psychological nature, but is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a perfectly normal age at which erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is foolish and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex begins to bring pleasure again and there are no difficulties with the arousal process.
Impotence, that is, complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is rare. This only happens when a person ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the potency will not really return.

Another important tip. In the forties, do not rush to resort to taking stimulants for potency. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you after 20 years, when potency begins to disappear due to completely natural reasons of aging. 40 is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist will tell you after the examination. In no case should you start taking medication without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before visiting a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful food reduces potency, while healthy and wholesome food normalizes it. So, to maintain and improve potency, erectile function, you need to eat right;
- Do sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). Jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful for potency;
- Do strength exercises regularly. There are a number of sets of exercises designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Absolutely give up bad habits. Everyone knows about their harmful effect on male potency;
- Diversify your sex life in some way. We are talking about role playing, using toys. A man should increase interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly with a psychologist if potency problems have psychological causes.
The man himself influences the potency and quality of the erectile function. The preservation of male strength depends only on him and attention to the problems of his own health. There are also factors beyond men's control, most of which modern medicine helps to deal with.
