Sexual problems today are faced by men of different ages. The first alarming “bells” and signs of impotence overtake both mature and young men. The main reason for the development of erectile dysfunction at an early age (up to 40 years) is considered an incorrect lifestyle, frequent stresses, physical exertion and chronic diseases.
Ignoring the symptoms and signs of impotence is the main mistake that young people make. Many are in no hurry to begin treatment, hesitating to see a doctor, and sometimes admit to themselves that there is a very delicate problem. And I must say in vain: the sooner treatment is started and the provoking factor is eliminated, the more chances a man has to return to a full-fledged sexual life, regardless of his age.
What it is
Impotence is a pathological condition characterized by a man’s inability to enter into a full sexual relationship due to a weak or absent erection. The people often call this ailment sexual impotence.
An erection is a complex physiological process with which a chain of consecutive natural reactions is associated. Each of them is affected by internal organs and the brain. From this follows a simple conclusion: impotence is a pathology that can occur against the background of various disorders and malfunctions in the body.
In order to permanently get rid of impotence, you should definitely talk with a qualified andrologist about the signs and treatment of this ailment. If you want to regain masculine strength, do not delay to see a doctor. It is unlikely that they will be able to establish erectile function on their own. Otherwise, time will be irretrievably lost when you can still help something.
Symptoms of impotence
In men, the signs of the disease appear the same. At the same time, it does not matter at all for what reason and at what age an intimate problem arose. The following manifestations are characteristic of erectile dysfunction:
- a man is aroused, but the penis does not reach the necessary hardness for insertion into the vagina;
- despite strong sexual arousal, the man’s penis remains in an un-erect state;
- sexual intercourse is short (lasts less than 3 minutes), because there is rapid ejaculation;
- the partner is not able to hold an erection for a long time, therefore, ejaculation during sexual intimacy does not occur;
- there is no morning and spontaneous nocturnal erection;
- attraction (libido) is reduced or absent altogether.
Causes of male impotence
Any signs of impotence in men arise due to the influence of an adverse factor. The causes of sexual disorder can conditionally be combined into two groups - physiological and psychogenic.
In the first case, we are talking about provoking factors, which may be:
- recurrent chronic diseases;
- metabolic disorders;
- hormonal disbalance;
- diabetes;
- pathology of the prostate gland.
Stressful situations, depressive states, mental disorders are psychogenic factors that cause impotence in men. The first signs of this problem are found in almost every second man older than 50 years. According to experts, such a violation of sexual function is not a sentence for the patient. If you do not delay the treatment and make the necessary adjustments to the lifestyle in a timely manner, the problem will no longer bother.
By the way, the treatment regimen for patients of different ages may vary. Not only are signs of impotence different. One or more of the following factors can cause erectile dysfunction in people under 40 years of age:
- hereditary predisposition;
- violations of the formation of sexuality in early childhood;
- dysfunctional experience of the first intimate contact;
- the formation of an inferiority complex;
- fear of looking like a loser before a partner;
- complications after past genitourinary infections.
Therefore, questions about the causes and signs of impotence in a young man should be discussed not only with an andrologist, but also a urologist, sex therapist, and psychologist. Medical statistics suggest that for people under 40 years old, problems in sex are most often the result of mental disorders.
At an older age, erectile dysfunction is diagnosed in almost half of patients who complain. Signs of impotence in men at 40 years of age in most cases are caused by the natural aging of the body, the result of long-term illnesses against the background of a weakened immune system. In addition, in adulthood, men often experience endocrine disorders, problems in the work of the cardiovascular system, neurological ailments, and pelvic inflammation. The addiction to alcoholic drinks, smoking aggravates the situation. The occurrence of erectile dysfunction can be caused by prolonged use of drugs, excessive physical exertion.
How to return potency
Signs of impotence, whatever they may be, are not an indication for the urgent use of erection stimulants. Even if "misfires" happen occasionally in bed, you should not immediately run to the pharmacy for "Viagra." It is better to consult a specialist, and do not independently establish a diagnosis and prescribe treatment.
Signs of impotence can not be considered a one-time malfunction during intimacy. Only systemic erectile dysfunction is a sexual disorder, that is, panic should only be done if problems in bed occur constantly. Short-term disorders may well be the result of hormonal imbalance, stress, fatigue. Similar failures in the sexual plan are not a deviation. Thus, the first sign of impotence can be called the stability of erectile dysfunction.
Depending on the factor that caused the delicate male problem, the treatment will have its own characteristics. In addition, the decision on therapy will be made by the doctor only after a thorough examination and determination of the provoking cause that led to the loss of potency. Only specialists are capable of adequately assessing the rationality of carrying out a particular method of therapy.
Psychologist's help
We have described the main signs of impotence above. Home treatment is available to every man, but it is usually not very effective. One of the most effective methods is psychotherapeutic. It is used only in case of diagnosed sexual impotence of a psychogenic nature (according to the results of examination by a psychotherapist). Sometimes this method is used as a measure to combat the signs of impotence in the rehabilitation period after conservative treatment of diseases of the genitourinary sphere.
Vibration stimulation method
Experts consider this treatment option a safe alternative to Viagra. In this case, the stimulation of the penis is carried out using a special device - a vibro-stimulator. In contact with the sensitive head of the penis, due to high-frequency vibration, the device starts the work of many nerve endings located on it. Due to contact with the vibro-stimulator, an erection in a man occurs reflexively.
This type of treatment has no contraindications, it is suitable for patients suffering from any type of sexual disorders, including impotence, which arose due to poor conductivity of nerve receptors.
The use of a vibratory stimulator is an ideal solution for erectile dysfunction of a psychogenic nature. Thanks to the method and use of the device, the ailment passes very quickly. Psychologists attribute such high treatment results to obtaining positive sexual experiences that are not associated with the exciting expectation of their own "fiasco." Using a vibration stimulator, the patient can repeatedly make sure that everything is in order with his male power. Over time, panic fear of a possible problem resolves itself. After some time, anxiety before intercourse is replaced by a stone erection, even without a vibration stimulator.
Other instrumental methods
- Vacuum treatment. This method consists in mechanical stimulation of the penis. This type of treatment can be used independently or be part of a set of measures to eliminate erectile dysfunction.
- Surgical intervention. Usually, such a method is resorted to in physiological sexual disorder, the causes of which are hidden in circulatory disorders, vascular diseases. The operation is carried out for the sole purpose of increasing blood flow to the cavernous bodies of the penis.
- Injection To get rid of erectile dysfunction in this way, a man will have to take a course of injections into the cavernous bodies of the penis. Drugs injected into the tissues of the penis cause vasodilation and provide a high-quality erection.
Potency drugs
Today there is a whole list of drugs, thanks to which men are guaranteed to achieve an erection without going to the doctor and undergoing the above procedures. However, doctors warn: most of the stimulant medicines have a huge list of serious contraindications and side effects.
For instant stimulation of erection, PDE-5 inhibitors are used. These include Viagra, Cialis, Levitra and their many analogues. If the doctor sees hormonal disorders in signs of impotence, the patient will be prescribed a course of steroid drugs. Typically, the cause of erectile dysfunction is a lack of testosterone in the blood. Its synthetic analogue is available in tablet and injection forms.
It is also known about many other means to improve potency, which should be used only after consultation with your doctor. Any stimulants can adversely affect the work of the heart, the gastrointestinal tract, cause a severe allergic reaction. Relatively safe are dietary supplements:
- "Lovelace".
- "Peruvian poppy."
- Platinum.
- Alicaps.
- "Impaza."
- Verona
- Extract of Eleutherococcus, Schisandra, ginseng.
