Problems with erectile function in later life are common. In old age, in men, the production of a hormone such as testosterone is reduced by half, and in some its content reaches less than 30% of the total norm. Restoring potency after 60 years is a very difficult process. We have to resort to various methods of treatment. However, despite the complexity of the therapy, it is possible to return male strength even at 70 years, for this it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of therapy prescribed by the doctor.
Characteristics of the functioning of the reproductive system of men of 60 years
At age 60, sexual neglect should not be considered commonplace. In old age, couples' interpersonal relationships change a lot. The attraction becomes stronger, as there is time to pay attention to the partner.
At the age of 60, your sex life becomes calmer and should be regular. However, for sexual desire it was necessary to control his body.
At age 60, the level of production by the testes of the male sex hormone testosterone is greatly reduced. Testosterone plays an important role in the human body. Its lack begins to worry us especially at age 40, when the body can no longer be as active as before.
Despite the low potential for sexual activity due to testosterone levels, the sexual desire of the opposite sex remains at the same level.
It should be noted that with the transition to older age groups, the termination of erectile function is a natural process. After turning 65, each year could be your last sexually. But the period of depletion of male power can be postponed indefinitely.
At the first symptoms, it is recommended to change your lifestyle: change the environment, spend more time outdoors.
Reasons to weaken power
Factors that contribute to premature loss of male power include the following:
- Addiction to tobacco products. Tobacco has a very strong effect on the human vascular system. This is especially true for the lower extremities, where blood flow must flow in large volumes. Tobacco products constrict blood vessels, prevent good permeability through the vessels. Furthermore, smoking is one of the factors in the development of atherosclerotic disease, which in turn further alters the vascular system, creating the preconditions for the formation of blood clots.
- Frequent use of alcoholic beverages.Men who drink alcohol are more likely to experience impotence than those who avoid heavy drinking. This is especially true for beer lovers. By drinking intoxicated beverages, you greatly increase the amount of female hormone in the human body. The imbalance between the female and male hormone changes not only the appearance, but also the internal processes of the body. Among the internal processes, the lack of testosterone in the testicles, which leads to impaired sexual activity.
- Drug use. All types of drugs, both light and strong, fall into this category. Narcotics affect the entire body, including the immune and vascular systems. They undermine your ability and prevent proper recovery. As a result, the structure of the systems changes and the body cannot function properly.
- Pathology of the urinary system.The problem with potency may lie not only in the presence or imbalance of hormones. Sometimes diseases of the bladder contribute to the development of potency. Any inflammatory process in the body is considered to be the cause not only of problems with male strength.
- Low body activity. Frequent sitting or inactivity leads to decreased blood flow in the body. Since the vascular system is considered the founder of everything, including potency, its minor changes lead to problems.
- Psychology. Separately, among the factors, it should be noted psychological problems that lead to potency. Constant stress or excessive pressure on the central nervous system affects the entire body. This can occur both after a physical problem, such as genital trauma, and after a psychological trauma. Psychological trauma is especially difficult to deal with. Such an injury can occur, for example, with an accidental sexual desire or as a result of an unconscious change in hormones.
- Fatigue. Particular attention should be paid to the tone of the body. Constant physical and psychological stress can strain the body. Symptoms of chronic fatigue or drowsiness appear.
- Complications in diseases of the vascular system. As already mentioned, problems with the vascular system disrupt the functions of all organs, including the urinary system. Attention should be paid to post-illness complications. For example, after vegetative-vascular dystonia or genital disorders.
- Constant imbalance of nutrients in the body.At an older age, it is especially important to maintain proper nutrition. By age 60, the body cannot fight harmful fats and bacteria that enter the oral cavity. Therefore, it is necessary to control the diet. You need to eat more foods that contain vitamin and mineral complexes and try to eat less foods that contain trans fats and hormones.
Note!Marijuana is especially strong in the development of impotence. Its composition has a negative effect on the production of several important hormones necessary for sexual activity.
