Unfortunately, a decrease in potency is an urgent problem for many men. In the modern world, there are many factors leading to erectile dysfunction. The category of men suffering from this problem includes not only older people, but also young men. This happens for various reasons, among which stressful situations, an incorrect lifestyle, and also chronic diseases of the reproductive system occupy a special place. You should know that potency is a healthy state of the male body in which normal sexual contact is possible. With various violations, this mechanism fails or is completely lost. This condition is called erectile dysfunction or impotence. As a result, men experience not only physical weakness, but also psychological stress. But do not despair, as there are many ways to get rid of erectile dysfunction.
Potency is what?
Everyone knows that a healthy man is able to perform normal sexual intercourse, regardless of age. Potency is a term which, translated from Latin, means "opportunity." This refers to the ability to have a healthy sex life. From this definition it follows that potency in men implies a normal erection during the entire sexual intercourse. Under the influence of harmful effects, it can weaken. Sometimes its decrease is not dangerous, since there is no persistent reason for the development of erectile dysfunction. This occurs, for example, with strong excitement during preparation for sexual intimacy. In this case, the man should not worry and just relax. If this phenomenon repeats repeatedly, then you need to seek medical help. In a broader sense, potency is not only the ability to cause and maintain an erection, but also a normal libido, that is, the emergence of sexual desire when you see a person of the opposite sex.
Causes of Potency
Potency in men can decrease due to various factors. They can be divided into psychoemotional, physiological and exogenous causes of erectile dysfunction. In most cases, a combination of these factors occurs.
- The development of impotence due to psychoemotional stress. This reason is most often associated with problems in the family (misunderstanding between a man and a woman, scandals) or at work. With this type of impotence, primarily libido is reduced, which leads to erectile dysfunction.
- Physiological causes include vascular, neurogenic, and endocrine disorders. Each of them has a specific development mechanism and requires treatment by a specialist - a urologist.
- Exogenous factors in the development of impotence are bad habits and medical effects. It should be remembered that the constant use of alcohol, drugs and tobacco leads to erectile dysfunction. Among drugs that reduce sexual strength, antiandrogens are isolated.
Impotence development mechanism
There are several mechanisms leading to sexual weakness. They depend on the immediate cause of impotence. The most common mechanisms are vascular and neurogenic. In the first case, the arterial blood enters in insufficient quantities to the penis, which provokes a complete, but often partial, dysfunction. With a fast venous outflow, on the contrary, an erection occurs quickly, but sexual contact itself is short-lived. The decrease in potency in injuries of the spinal cord, as well as the pelvic bones, has a neurological mechanism. Unfortunately, in this case, erectile dysfunction is rarely treatable. Drug and endocrine types of impotence develop due to the inhibitory effect on male sex hormones. It should be remembered that regardless of the mechanism of the appearance of erectile dysfunction in most cases, it is treatable.
Ways to increase potency
To increase or restore potency, you should seek medical help. After the doctor finds out the cause of erectile dysfunction, he will prescribe the necessary treatment. There are several ways to increase potency. Among them, the following are distinguished: folk remedies (decoctions of plants, the use of certain foods), psychotherapy, surgical intervention and medications. All these methods are effective and are applied depending on the cause of impotence. In some cases, combined treatment is necessary (most often - folk remedies and medicines).
