Causes and treatment of impotence in men

According to official statistics, erectile dysfunction is observed in 152 million men. Studies have shown that the white American population is more susceptible to this problem because erectile dysfunction is constantly "aging". Already, according to official data, sexual problems are observed in 17% of Americans under the age of 30. As for the healthiest nations, the Scandinavians are in the lead. For example, 65% of Finns over 40 have never encountered this delicate problem.

Age-related etiology

On average, sexual dysfunctions are observed in 20% of men aged 20 to 60, but in 95% of cases it is possible to increase male potency if you follow medical recommendations, without bringing the situation to drugs. However, in official statistics, errors are not excluded, if 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 the age of 60 can be considered a natural weakness and a decrease in hormone levels, then the problems in 20-30 years are usually caused by diseases that need to be treated.

In different age categories, the etiology of erectile disorders, and therefore the ways to restore potency, are different:

The table shows the main reasons that most often cause a violation of potency in men of a certain age, without indicating the general etiology. For example, during operations on the pelvic organs, erectile dysfunction can be observed at any age. An accurate diagnosis can only be made by a doctor.

The process of lowering the level of sex hormones cannot be stopped with age, however, at 40, tangible signs of a lack of testosterone can be seen, but only at 70. Therefore, a healthy lifestyle is a necessary prevention of sexual dysfunction.

Sport - prevention of impotence

General recommendations

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

  1. Refusal of alcohol. Despite the belief that alcohol is liberating and tuned in the right way, this only works for shy teens, who may have premature ejaculation as their only problem. But men over the age of 20 do not need a withdrawal remedy, and ethanol also slows down metabolic processes. With prostatitis, it is strictly prohibited. Therefore, if the etiology of the weakening of potency is not clear, alcohol should be completely abandoned;
  2. struggle with extra pounds. Many people perceive the problem of excess weight as a purely aesthetic discomfort, but everything is much more serious. Scientists have shown that even 5 kg of excess weight leads to a decrease in libido and a decrease in the pleasure of sex. This is due not only to thoughts about their lack of attractiveness, but also to physiological problems: shortness of breath, weakness, decreased physical stamina, hormonal changes, etc. Therefore, even with small deviations from a healthy weight, it is necessary to return to normal, for which a carbohydrate-free protein diet is more suitable. But a more accurate and adequate diet will be recommended on an individual basis by a doctor;
  3. good rest and sport. Regardless of the type of activity, daily work and everyday problems put physical and moral pressure on a man. Chronic fatigue has a detrimental effect on his sexual function, therefore, to increase male potency, it is very important to get enough sleep and to alternate modes of work and rest. To avoid depression, it is recommended that you quit household chores at least once a month on weekends and get out of town to relax. An excellent remedy for the blues will be a hobby that brings pleasure, it is better 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, this is only a plus for general health and good mood;
  5. regular examination. Do not neglect a medical examination, as it is necessary to take care of men's health from a young age. It is much easier to cure diseases diagnosed at an early stage. Considering that in the last decades the problem of erectile dysfunction and male infertility has "rejuvenated", a preventive screening at least once every six months is simply necessary.

To create a romantic and relaxed atmosphere, instead of drinking wine, it is better to light aromatic 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.

Bridge exercise to improve power

Exercises

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

  1. "bridge" exercise;
  2. exercise "birch";
  3. raising the pelvis from a supine position - 10 times;
  4. exercise "bicycle" - 1-5 minutes;
  5. step and jog in place with a high rise of the knees - 1-5 minutes;
  6. tension and relaxation of the buttocks and pubic area;
  7. rotation of the pelvis - perform clockwise until you feel heat in the lumbar region, as this is a sign of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
  8. twist - in the supine position, you need to touch the left elbow with the right knee and vice versa; 20 times is enough, but the exercise must be done quickly;
  9. tension of the buttocks in a sitting position - it is necessary to maintain tension for 5 seconds; 10 approaches are recommended.

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

Long 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 to refuse the use of the lift. Climbing stairs every day is useful for increasing power, as it prevents blood stagnation and improves heart activity.

Scientists have shown that outdoor exercise is more effective. There is an acceleration of metabolism and an increase in cognitive functions by 20%. In addition, a person feels less fatigued by such a burden due to the increased production of serotonin.

Bath procedures increase potency in men

Water procedures

Water treatments can also increase blood microcirculation 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, a sauna and sitz baths. A contrast shower is ideal for a quick restoration of power. It can be taken just before 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 vessels to the maximum. After that, you need to pour a bucket of fresh water on yourself, which not everyone can handle. Therefore, one should proceed to such procedures only after the person gets used to the contrasting shower.

You can visit the bathhouse no more than once a week. It is important to remember that for some diseases the Turkish bath is completely contraindicated!

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

  1. with a 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 time of the procedure is 10 minutes and the duration of the treatment is 2 weeks;
  3. with medicinal herbs - you can take baths with various plants that increase potency, but chamomile is best. It perfectly dilates blood vessels, has a disinfectant effect 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

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

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

As for the products that improve potency and libido, among these the priority must be given to nuts, honey, seafood (crustaceans, shrimps, crabs), fish, dairy products, pomegranate, persimmons, vegetables and various aromatic herbs. In addition, it is 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 should be eaten fresh, so they can be consumed in the form of juice
  • you can add dried ginger to baked goods and sprinkle desserts with walnuts and nutmeg;
  • it is recommended to prepare salads with beets, carrots, celery, eggs, cheese and green onions, satisfying and healthy;
  • black tea and coffee should be replaced with juice, 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 plums; it keeps for a long time, and to make up for the lack of vitamins and minerals it is sufficient to eat 1 tablespoon of this mixture per day.

To avoid weight gain, you need to monitor the amount of calories consumed and, if you are overweight, go on a diet. You have to eat often, but in small portions, and after lunch and dinner it is advisable to take small walks if possible. You should eat less salty, fatty and smoked foods, and also forgo frying in favor of baking, baking and steaming.

Sugar should be replaced with maple syrup or honey. Fruit juices are high in fructose, so it's best to drink vegetable juices. An excellent remedy to improve potency is the use of a glass of milk with carrot juice before bed.

Trust between partners is essential for solving erection problems

Influence of the partner

The role of a woman is very important in the question of how to restore male strength. It is she who can persuade a partner to go to a specialist so that she perceives the problem as it is, without a feeling of inferiority. Also, her initiative in sex, striptease and demonstration of erogenous zones can cause strong arousal, solving the problem of unstable erection. However, it is very important that there is trust between the partners and that there is no shyness.

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

Folk remedies

Traditional medicine is a wide range of all kinds of useful tips for increasing potency: from using pumpkin seeds to using leeches. The main means of herbal medicine are decoctions of hawthorn, lemongrass, Dubrovnik, coriander, ginger and aloe. But still, the leaders here are nuts, honey and a carrot and milk smoothie.

For erection problems, herbalists recommend drinking a glass of nettle decoction one hour before proximity. They claim this miracle cure 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 belly with oil, put a mustard patch soaked in warm water on it and keep it for 5-10 minutes. However, this method cannot be used frequently.

Folk remedies for increasing potency

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

Turkish scientists 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 type. However, other researchers argue that there is no connection between potency and blood group issues, and the numbers provided are nothing but blank and uninformative.

Pharmacological therapy

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

Injections into the penis are more effective, but not all men want to receive the medicine this way, as there are quite effective oral stimulants:

  1. The most effective drug from the group of PDE-5 inhibitors for increasing potency, however, is contraindicated in heart, liver and gastric diseases. Effective for 4 hours and will help cope with any self-doubt;
  2. PDE-5 inhibitor, which is characterized by prolonged action, or rather, maintains male strength for 36 hours;
  3. Natural homeopathic preparation with berry extracts, which has a beneficial effect on the physical and psychological state of men. However, this is not a one-time stimulant, but a therapeutic agent that must be taken regularly. The effect can be felt already on the fourth day of admission. 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 is felt 3 days after administration. It is prescribed not only to increase male potency, but also for other autonomic disorders: weakness, fatigue, low endurance;
  5. One of the PDE-5 inhibitors, which increases potency several times and is effective throughout the day;
  6. A very powerful remedy with a complex of African aphrodisiacs, which increases not only the erection, but also the resistance and duration of intercourse. It should be taken 1 hour before intimacy;
  7. A drug containing guarana, magnesium and amino acids that stimulate testosterone synthesis. This remedy increases the sensitivity of the penis, makes sex brighter, prolongs sexual intercourse and adds energy to a person;
  8. Homeopathic herbal drops that increase potency. The manufacturer assures that it is better to use them as a prophylactic agent and restore potency after 60 years.

The use of stimulants is generally recommended 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 interruptions of erection in the form of a lack of orgasm or a fall of the penis during sex, then you can limit yourself to a course of vitamins that have a beneficial effect on potency.
