Even relatively young people suffer from sexual weakness - medical statistics show that 39% of men were treated for impotence after 40 years, and 69% after 50 years. However, it is worth noting that a significant proportion of those who "discovered" erectile dysfunction actually just needed adequate rest and a revision of their usual, but unhealthy, lifestyle. It must be taken into account that there is no standard for potency andIf 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 a couple's age, temperament, lifestyle and relationships. Statistical data show a wide range regarding the norms of numerical indicators in the intimate life of different people. Let me tell you some of them:
- the approximate frequency of sexual contacts in men during puberty is between three times a day and once a month;
- For 30 to 45 year olds, sex once a week does not mean a weakening of potency - only if it occurs less often do doctors advise a deviation from the norm;
- Men under 30 make love three times a week, men between 30 and 60 years old - from two to three, after 60 - three times a month;
- Psychologically caused impotence is only recorded in one in five cases; the cause is usually poor physical health.
Signs of potency deviation from the norm
Let's look at five different cases of erectile dysfunction to understand which external signs indicate normal fatigue and stress, and which indicate serious disorders in the body.
There is practically no spontaneous erection, as well as psychogenic (through thoughts) and reflexes (through touch), the penis stops getting up in the morning.
Most likely, vascular pathologies are responsible for this: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous diseases are possible: often erectile blood simply does not remain in the erect penis, but leaves it immediately via the dorsal vein.
Smoking worsens vascular problems: The arteries of a smoker's penis are narrowed by half, meaning the erection is half as weak.
How to help yourself:If you feel unwell, you must measure your blood pressure and see a doctor immediately if there are any changes. It is worth changing your diet, reducing fatty meats and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing sugar) to a minimum and definitely quit smoking. If you cannot quit smoking on your own, you should consult a psychotherapist or first use replacement therapy, such as a nicotine patch. With venous outflow of blood, doctors often prescribe resection (removal) of the dorsal vein through which the leak occurs.
Spontaneous and morning erections are fine, but they do not appear during stroking or disappear with the first friction.
This seems to be a typical case of psychogenic ED, which is accompanied by self-doubt, anxious anticipation of failure, or fear of not satisfying a partner. Potency is also affected by constant overwork and insufficient sleep.
Solution: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 because of it. You are unlikely to solve global problems where 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 sex. Quarrels and negativity in relationships with a girl also affect potency, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy and pleasure.
Attraction is becoming less and less common and to achieve an erection you have to make an effort.
There is a deficiency of male sex hormones - androgens, mainly testosterone. This happens both due to age and obesity, excessive alcohol consumption or anabolic steroids. Many athletes are deprived of normal potency in search of the best results; Anabolic steroids work similarly to testosterone and their use leads to a reduction in the production of this hormone in the body. Essentially, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to get your libido back:Get rid of excess weight, but you need to do this without the help of chemical "crutches", that is, drugs designed to quickly burn fat and build muscle mass. An excellent solution would be to visit an endocrinologist for an examination instead of blindly trying to change your hormonal balance. Forgetnot that the maximum safe dose of alcohol per day is 30 ml of pure alcohol.
The attraction is there, but the erection comes on slowly and disappears quickly.
It appears that nerve conduction is disturbed; This happens with diabetes, radiculitis or after spinal injuries, when areas of the spinal cord through which the signal of sexual arousal travels from the brain to the penis are affected.
How to increase potency:Visit an andrologist and neurologist, eliminate radiculitis and carry out auxiliary therapy with vibration stimulation. The receptors of the glans react very sensitively to vibrations, the excitement arising in them 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 subsides, stabbing pains appear in the lower abdomen, urination occurs frequently and in small portions.
Signs that are very similar to the onset of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism itself is not impaired, sex simply fades into the background due to poor health. 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:Visit a urologist, have your prostate examined, and get tested for sexually transmitted diseases. You should not postpone a visit to the doctor: sexually transmitted infections provoke the development of prostatitis, and in their advanced form, the prostate tissue changes irreversibly, which can lead to the development of incurable impotence. In the early stages, inflammation of the prostate can be treated successfully and almost painlessly.
For all of the listed types of erectile dysfunction, a healthy lifestyle and regular, high-quality sex are a good help in recovery. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contacts - the more frequent they are, the more hormones are released into the blood and vice versa - the rarer the sex, the fewer androgens so necessary for a man are produced.
