Potency problems at the age of 40 are believed to begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already taken place as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, they feel healthy and happy. However, at 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, it is at the age of forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also 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 for impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and seriously take care of your health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that the potency after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone responsible for libido and sexual function, that is, erection.
Indeed, the hormonal background of men is highly stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in old age.

But the modern lifestyle and the negative impact of external factors have a negative effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not so actively produced, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, 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 medication, which is performed by a man without the recommendations or supervision of doctors. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect men's potency. It is also harmful to recklessly take medicines to treat blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- The absence of a regular sex life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, this causes a disruption 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 any good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a cause of hormonal imbalances. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the first signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer junk fatty foods. In some cases, it is enough to normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits to restore the former quality of the erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, a number of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent them from occurring or treat them in the early stages.
It is important to understand that the long-term persistence of symptoms will result in the complete loss of sexual function.
But men don't always pay due attention to their health. Only the relevant signs that indicate the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can prompt them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that the long-term persistence of symptoms will result in the complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. That is why 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 complete erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed throughout the entire sexual intercourse;
- An erection occurs unstable, at certain times it can weaken noticeably, but then it returns again to the previous level;
- Man is unable to have intercourse. Although arousal is present, an erection does not yet occur;
- It takes a long time to raise a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved within seconds. If there are signs of the development of impotence, the erection takes much longer and additional stimuli;
- 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 does not feel the same pleasure from having sex. Often men after 40 years complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but it is often associated with some negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Don't be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misunderstanding. 40 is a completely normal age where erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid 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, i. e. the complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is a rarity. This only happens when a man 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 your forties, do not rush to resort to taking potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when the potency begins to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 years 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. Under no circumstances should you start taking any medication without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before visiting a doctor, you can:
- Significantly changes 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 should eat right;
- Do sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). For power, jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Exercise regularly for potency. There are a number of exercise sets designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Give up bad habits categorically. Everyone knows their harmful effect on male potency;
- It somehow diversifies your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, the use of toys. A man needs to 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 power depends only on him and on paying attention to the problems of his own health. There are also factors beyond the control of men, with most of which modern medicine helps to cope.
