Causes and treatment of impotence in men

According to official statistics, erectile dysfunction occurs in 152 million men. Studies show that the American white population is most susceptible to this problem, because there erectile dysfunction is constantly "getting younger. " According to official data, sexual problems are already observed in 17% of Americans under the age of 30. As forto the healthiest nations, Scandinavians are at the forefront, for example, 65% of Finns over the age of 40 have never encountered this delicate problem.

Age-related etiology

On average, sexual dysfunction occurs in 20% of men aged 20-60 years, but in 95% of cases it is possible to increase male potency if medical advice is followed without leading to medication. However, official statistics do not rule out mistakes, although only due to the fact that many men do not want to realize the problem and try to solve it without the help of a specialist. But if the lack of an erection after 60 years can be considered a natural weakness and a decrease in hormone levels, then the problems after 20-30 years are usually caused by diseases that need to be treated.

The etiology of erectile dysfunction and therefore the ways to restore potency are different in different age categories:

Age The main reasons How to increase potency?

The table shows the main causes that most often cause impotence in men of a certain age, without indicating the general etiology. For example, during pelvic surgery, erectile dysfunction can occur at any age. An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a doctor.

The process of lowering sex hormone levels cannot be stopped with age, but tangible signs of testosterone deficiency can be seen at 40, but only at 70. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle is a necessary prevention of sexual dysfunction.

Sports - prevention of impotence

General recommendations

A healthy lifestyle is the foundation on which any therapy is built. If a person continues to use such "flavor enhancers" as alcohol or junk food, then sex life will become impossible without stimulants. Therefore, to increase potency, you should start with these tips:

  1. Abstinence from alcohol. Despite the fact that alcohol is thought to release and adjust in the right way, this only works for shy teenagers who may have premature ejaculation as the only problem. But men over the age of 20 do not need a withdrawal agent, and ethanol also slows down metabolic processes. In prostatitis it is strictly forbidden. Therefore, if the etiology of the loss of potency is unclear, alcohol should be completely abandoned;
  2. fight against excess weight. Many people perceive the problem of overweight as a purely aesthetic discomfort, but everything is much more serious. Scientists have proven that even 5 kg of excess weight leads to a decrease in libido and reduced pleasure from sex. This is due not only to thoughts of their unattractiveness, but also to physiological problems: shortness of breath, weakness, decreased physical endurance, hormonal changes and more. Therefore, even with minor deviations from a healthy weight, you should return to normal, for which a protein diet without carbohydrates is most appropriate. But a more accurate and appropriate diet will be advised individually by a doctor;
  3. good rest and sports. Regardless of the type of activity, daily work and daily problems put physical and moral pressure on the man. Chronic fatigue has a detrimental effect on his sexual function, which is why it is very important to get enough sleep and alternate work and rest regimes to increase male potency. To avoid depression, it is recommended to give up household chores at least once a month on weekends and go out of town to relax. An excellent tool for blues will be a hobby that brings pleasure, it is best if it is a light sport: cycling, running, swimming;
  4. regular sex. Constant contact with a partner is necessary to maintain healthy hormone levels, stimulate the maturation of high quality sperm and prevent circulatory disorders. It is believed that 8 contacts per month are enough to maintain male strength, but if intimacy occurs more often, it is only a plus for overall health and good mood;
  5. regular inspection. Do not neglect the medical examination, as you need to take care of the health of men from an early age. It is much easier to treat diseases diagnosed at an early stage. Given that the problem of erectile dysfunction and male infertility has "rejuvenated" in recent decades, preventive screening at least once every six months is simply necessary.

To create a romantic relaxed atmosphere, instead of drinking wine, it is better to light scented candles with the smell of nutmeg or coriander in the room. This is a well-known technique for increasing sexual desire in Muslim countries where alcohol is prohibited.

Exercise a bridge to improve potency

Exercises

According to statistics, in about 15-30% of cases, erection problems are due to reduced blood flow to the genitals. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the blood vessels of cholesterol and other "debris" with the help of diet, as well as to increase the local microcirculation of blood. To improve potency, it is enough to regularly perform simple exercises at home:

  1. exercise "bridge";
  2. birch exercise;
  3. lifting the pelvis from a lying position - 10 times;
  4. exercise "bicycle" - 1-5 minutes;
  5. step and jogging on the spot with high knees - 1-5 minutes;
  6. tension and relaxation of the buttocks and pubic area;
  7. rotation of the pelvis - perform clockwise until you feel warmth in the lumbar region, as this is a sign of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
  8. twisting - in a supine position, you must touch the left elbow to the right knee and back; 20 times is enough, but the exercise must be done quickly;
  9. seat tension in a sitting position - you need to hold the tension for 5 seconds; 10 approaches are recommended.

It is best to do it early in the morning to invigorate the body, but if you can not do this, then you can do the exercises in the evening, replacing a hearty dinner with a vegetable salad with eggs and kefir. Protein foods do not cause weight gain and promote muscle growth.

Prolonged stay in one position also has a detrimental effect on potency. Therefore, when working in the office or while driving, it is recommended to take walks lasting 5-10 minutes at least several times a day, preferably on the stairs, and you should refuse to use the elevator. Climbing stairs every day is useful for increasing potency, as it prevents blood stagnation and improves heart function.

Scientists have proven that outdoor exercises are more effective. There is an acceleration of metabolism and an increase in cognitive function by 20%. In addition, a person experiences less fatigue from such a charge due to the increased production of serotonin.

Bath procedures increase potency in men

Water procedures

Water treatments can also increase the microcirculation of blood in the pelvic organs, and traditional healers say they can even improve the molecular composition of sperm. The group of such procedures should include a contrast shower, sauna and sitting baths. The contrast shower is ideal for quick recovery of potency. It can be taken immediately before sexual intercourse to prevent erection problems.

As for the bathroom, it is a more aggressive type of temperature effects. Ten minutes in the steam room is enough to expand the dishes to the maximum. Then you have to pour a bucket of cool water on yourself, which not everyone can stand. Therefore, such procedures should be started only after the person gets used to the contrast shower.

You can visit the bathroom no more than once a week. It is important to remember that in some diseases the steam bath is completely contraindicated!

Among the water ways to increase potency, the benefits of sitz baths should be noted. You need to prepare them like this:

  1. with mummy - add 15 g of mummy in a bowl of warm water (37-38 ° C) and take 20 minutes 2-3 times a day;
  2. with turpentine - add 5 g of turpentine emulsion to the bowl. The duration of the procedure is 10 minutes and the duration of treatment is 2 weeks;
  3. with medicinal herbs - you can make baths with various plants that increase potency, but chamomile is the best. It perfectly dilates blood vessels, has a disinfectant and has no contraindications. The proportions of chamomile and water are 1: 30, and the course of treatment is unlimited.
Freshly squeezed juices to normalize male potency

Nutrition to increase potency

Special attention should be paid to the normalization of the diet. Fast food, synthetic and fatty foods make a man weak and sedentary, which leads to the fact that increased appetite suppresses sexual desire. Alcohol, although able to release, but inhibits erectile function.

Sausages, although seemingly harmless, are dangerous with a high content of so-called soy meat. All legumes, including soybeans, are rich in plant analogues of estrogen (female hormone), so the use of these products inhibits testosterone synthesis. The highest concentration of plant estrogen is contained in beer, which is why with frequent use, a man's stomach and breasts increase.

As for products that improve potency and libido, among them should be given priority to nuts, honey, seafood (shellfish, shrimp, crabs), fish, dairy products, pomegranate, persimmon, various vegetables and herbs. It is also useful to season dishes with spices that have aphrodisiac properties: nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon, ginger and pepper. It is very simple to enrich the diet with such products:

  • vegetables are best eaten fresh, so they can be consumed as juice;
  • you can add dried ginger to baked goods and sprinkle desserts with nuts and nutmeg;
  • it is recommended to prepare salads with beets, carrots, celery, eggs, cheese and green onions - both satisfying and healthy;
  • black tea and coffee should be replaced with juices, kefir or green tea with honey, lemon and ginger;
  • you can make a vitamin mixture from different types of nuts, honey, lemon, dried apricots and prunes; stored for a long time and to compensate for the deficiency of vitamins and minerals, it is enough to eat 1 tablespoon of this mixture per day.

To avoid weight gain, you should monitor the amount of calories consumed, and if you are overweight, follow a diet. You should eat often, but in small portions, and in the afternoon and dinner it is recommended to take small walks, if possible. You should eat less salty, fatty and smoked foods, and also give up frying in favor of cooking, baking and steaming.

Sugar should be replaced with maple syrup or honey. Fruit juices are high in fructose, so it is better to drink vegetable juices instead. An excellent way to improve potency is to use a glass of milk with carrot juice at bedtime.

Trust between the partners is essential to eliminate erection problems

Influence of the partner

The role of women is very important in how to restore male strength. It is she who can persuade the partner to turn to a specialist so that he perceives the problem as it is, without feeling inferior. In addition, her initiative in sex, striptease and demonstration of erogenous zones can cause strong arousal, solving the problem of unstable erections. However, it is very important to have trust between the partners and not to be shy.

Regular sex with a regular partner reduces the risk of developing prostate cancer three times. It is considered optimal to have orgasms twice a week.

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine is a huge set of all sorts of useful tips to increase potency: from the use of pumpkin seeds to the use of leeches. The main herbal remedies are decoctions of hawthorn, lemongrass, Dubrovnik, coriander, ginger and aloe. But still the leaders here are nuts, honey and milk-carrot shake.

In case of erection problems, herbalists advise to drink a glass of nettle decoction one hour before intimacy. They claim that this miraculous medicine will quickly restore male strength.

Another popular method involves the use of mustard plasters, which will significantly increase blood circulation in the pelvic organs. Before contact, you should lubricate the abdomen with oil, put mustard soaked in warm water and hold it for 5-10 minutes. However, this method cannot be used often.

Folk remedies to increase potency

You can also find various home finger massage techniques on the internet. But prostate stimulation is not an easy and painless job. It is performed only when necessary and only in a hospital by a qualified specialist.

Turkish researchers have published the results of a study, according to which among 350 random patients with erectile dysfunction there was not a single person with the first blood group. However, other researchers claim that there is no link between potency problems and blood type, and the figures provided are nothing more than empty and uninformative.

Drug therapy

Modern medicine offers not only well-known drugs, but also other methods, for example, vacuum-constructive correction. Although it improves blood circulation quite well, its effect is short-lived and the procedure should be performed immediately before sexual intercourse.

Penis injections are more effective, but not every man wants to get the drug this way, given that there are quite effective oral stimulants:

  1. The most effective drug from the group of PDE-5 inhibitors to increase potency, but is contraindicated in heart, liver and stomach diseases. Effective for 4 hours and will help to deal with any self-doubt;
  2. PDE-5 inhibitor, which is characterized by prolonged action, or rather, retains male potency for 36 hours;
  3. Natural homeopathic preparation with forest fruit extracts, which has a beneficial effect on the physical and psychological condition of men. However, this is not a single stimulant, but a therapeutic agent that should be taken regularly. The effect can be felt on the fourth day of administration. The drug acts gently, is not addictive and promotes natural recovery and increased potency;
  4. Homeopathic medicine with antibodies to endothelial NO-synthase, the effectiveness of which can be felt after 3 days of intake. It is prescribed not only to enhance male potency, but also in other autonomic disorders: weakness, fatigue, low endurance;
  5. One of the PDE-5 inhibitors that increases potency several times and is effective during the day;
  6. A very powerful remedy with a complex of African aphrodisiacs, which increases not only the erection, but also the endurance and duration of sexual intercourse. It should be taken 1 hour before intimacy;
  7. A drug containing guarana, magnesium and amino acids that stimulate testosterone synthesis. This drug increases the sensitivity of the penis, makes sex brighter, prolongs sexual intercourse and adds energy to a man;
  8. Homeopathic herbal drops that increase potency. The manufacturer guarantees that it is better to use them as a prophylactic and restore potency after 60 years.

It is usually recommended to use stimulants to restore potency after the age of 60, but they can also be used for younger men who have certain diseases. If there are periodic erectile dysfunction in the form of lack of orgasm or fall of the penis during sex, then you can limit yourself to a course of vitamins that have a beneficial effect on potency.
