Even relatively young people suffer from sexual weakness - medical statistics show that 39% of men after 40 years old have been treated for impotence, and after 50 years old - already 69%. However, it is worth mentioning that a significant part of those who "discovered" erectile dysfunction simply needed adequate rest and a review of their usual, but unhealthy lifestyle. It must be taken into account that there is no standard of potency and that if someone can and wants to have sex three times a day, for others once a week is enough. It all depends on the sexual constitution.
In addition, sexual activity is influenced by age, temperament, lifestyle and relationships within the couple. Statistical data show a wide range of norms of digital indicators in the intimate lives of different people. Let me give you a few:
- the approximate frequency of sexual contact among pubescent men is three times a day to once a month;
- among 30-45 year olds, sex once a week does not mean weakened potency - only if it happens less frequently, doctors suggest a deviation from the norm;
- men under 30 have sex three times a week, men aged 30 to 60 - from two to three, after 60 - three times a month;
- impotence caused by psychological reasons is recorded only in every fifth case; the cause most often lies in poor physical health.
Signs of power deviation from the norm
Let's look at 5 different cases of potency disorders to understand which external signs indicate ordinary fatigue and stress, and which signal serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, as well as psychogenic (thoughts) and reflex (touches), the penis has stopped "getting up" in the morning.
Most likely, vascular pathologies are to blame: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders are possible: often erectile blood simply does not remain in the erect penis, but immediately leaves it through the dorsal vein.
Smoking aggravates vascular problems: the arteries in a smoker's penis are narrowed by half, which means that the erection will be half as weak.
How to help you:If you feel unwell, you should measure your blood pressure and if you notice any changes, seek medical attention immediately. It is worth changing your diet, minimizing fatty meats and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing them) and quitting smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should first consult a psychotherapist or use replacement therapy, for example a nicotine patch. In cases of venous leakage of blood, doctors often prescribe resection (ablation) of the dorsal vein through which the leak is occurring.
Spontaneous and morning erections are good, but during caresses they do not occur or disappear with the first frictions.
This looks like a typical case of psychogenic erectile dysfunction associated with self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure or fear of not satisfying a partner. Potency is also impaired due to constant overwork and insufficient sleep.
Solution to the problem:you need to give your body rest. Don't think that great people slept 4 hours a day and their quality of life didn't suffer. You are unlikely to solve global problems for which it is worth neglecting your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours a day allows the body to recover and produce the amount of testosterone needed for full sexual intercourse. Quarrels and negativity in relationships with a girl also affect potency, so it is better to limit communications that do not bring joy and pleasure.
Attraction appears less and less often, and to get an erection you have to make an effort.
There is a lack of male sex hormones - androgens, primarily testosterone. This happens both due to old age and obesity, excessive consumption of alcohol or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, striving for the best results, are deprived of normal power; Anabolic steroids act in the same way as testosterone and their use causes a decrease in the production of this hormone in the body. Essentially, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to regain your libido:get rid of excess weight, but you will have to do this without the help of chemical "crutches", that is, drugs that allow you to quickly burn fat and gain muscle mass. A great solution would be to see an endocrinologist for testing instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Remember that the maximum safe dose of alcohol per day is the equivalent of 30 ml of pure alcohol.
The attraction is there, but the erection appears slowly and disappears quickly.
It seems that nerve conduction is disturbed; This occurs in diabetes, radiculitis or after spinal injuries, when the areas of the spinal cord through which the sexual arousal signal passes from the brain to the penis are affected.
How to increase power:consult an andrologist and neurologist, get rid of radiculitis, carry out auxiliary therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptors of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibrations, the excitement arising there is transmitted to the cavernous nerves of the penis and it is possible to bring the organ into an excited state even in difficult cases.
The erection weakens, shooting pains in the lower abdomen appear, urination occurs frequently and in small portions.
Signs very similar to the appearance of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism itself is not impaired, due to poor health, sex simply takes a back seat. By the way, the beginning of the development of prostatitis is often indicated by unusually rapid ejaculation. However, similar symptoms can also indicate a sexually transmitted infection.
What to do:see a urologist, examine the prostate and get tested for STDs. You should not delay consulting a doctor: sexually transmitted infections cause the development of prostatitis, and in its advanced form, the prostate tissue changes irreversibly, which can lead to the appearance of aincurable impotence. In the early stages, prostate inflammation can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all listed types of potency disorders, a healthy lifestyle and regular high-quality sex will be of great help in its restoration. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contacts - the more frequent they are, the more the hormone is released into the blood, and vice versa - the less frequent sexual intercourse, the less androgens are so necessary for a manare produced.
