Even relatively young people encounter erectile dysfunction - medical statistics show that 39% of men after 40 years old were treated for impotence, and after 50 years old - already 69%. However, it is worth mentioning that a significant portion of those who "discover" erectile dysfunction really just need to get enough rest and readjust their usual but unhealthy lifestyle. It must be noted that there are no standards for potency, and if someone can and wants to have sex three times a day, then for others, once a week is enough. It all depends on sexual constitution.
In addition, sexual activity is also affected by a couple's age, temperament, lifestyle and relationships. Statistical data shows a wide variety of norms regarding numerical indicators in the love lives of different people. Let me give you some of them:
- The approximate frequency of sexual intercourse in men during puberty is from three times a day to once a month;
- at the age of 30-45, having sex once a week does not mean that the potency is weakened - only if it happens less often, doctors consider a deviation from the norm;
- Men under 30 years old have sex three times a week, men 30-60 years old - from two to three, after 60 - three times a month;
- Impotence due to psychological reasons is recorded only in every fifth case, the cause often lies in poor physical health.
Signs of deviation in effectiveness compared to the norm
Let's look at five different potential disorders to understand which external signs indicate common fatigue and stress and which signs signal serious disorders in the body.
There was practically no spontaneous erection, as well as due to psychological (from thoughts) and reflexes (from touch), the penis stopped "waking up" in the morning.
Most likely the cause is vascular diseases: atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary heart disease. Venous disorders may occur: blood during erection often does not stay in the erect penis but immediately flows out through the dorsal veins.
Smoking aggravates vascular problems: a smoker's penile arteries are narrowed by half, which means erections are half as weak.
How to help yourself:If you feel unwell, you need to measure your blood pressure, and if you notice changes in it, immediately consult a doctor. You should change your diet, minimize fatty meat and fast carbohydrates (sugar and products containing it), and remember to quit smoking. If you can't quit smoking on your own, you should first consult a psychotherapist or use alternative therapy, such as a nicotine patch. When blood leaks from a vein, doctors often recommend ablation (ablation) of the dorsal vein where the leak occurs.
Spontaneous and morning erections are normal, but during stroking they do not occur or disappear at the first frictions.
This seems like a typical case of psychogenic erectile dysfunction involving self-doubt, anxiety about failure, or fear of not pleasing a partner. Potency is also impaired by constant overwork and insufficient sleep.
Solution to the problem:you need to give your body rest. Don't believe that great people sleep 4 hours a day and their quality of life is not affected by it. It's unlikely that you're solving global problems that are worth ignoring your health and natural needs. Sleeping 7-8 hours a day helps the body recover and produce the amount of testosterone necessary for full sexual activity. Quarrels and negativity in relationships with girls also affect physiological abilities, so it is better to limit communication that does not bring joy or pleasure.
Attraction appears less and less often, and to achieve an erection you need to make efforts.
Lack of male sex hormones - androgens, mainly testosterone. This occurs due to old age and obesity, excessive use of alcohol or anabolic steroids. Many athletes, in pursuit of peak results, are deprived of the ability to function normally; Anabolic steroids work similarly to testosterone and their use reduces the production of this hormone in the body. In essence, taking anabolic steroids is chemical castration.
How to get your sex drive back:get rid of excess weight, but you will have to do this without the help of chemical "crutches", that is, drugs to quickly burn fat and increase muscle mass. A great solution is to see an endocrinologist for testing instead of blindly trying to change your hormone balance. Don't forget that the maximum safe dose of alcohol per day is equivalent to 30 ml of pure alcohol.
There is attraction but the erection appears slowly and disappears quickly.
It appears that nerve conduction is disrupted; This happens with diabetes, radiculitis or after spinal injury, when areas of the spinal cord, which transmit signals of sexual arousal from the brain to the penis, are affected.
How to increase potency:visit a hormone doctor and a neurologist, get rid of radiculitis, carry out auxiliary therapy using vibration stimulation. The receptor organs of the head of the penis are very sensitive to vibrations, the stimulation arising in them will be transmitted to the cavernous nerves of the penis and can bring this organ into a state of excitement even duringdifficult cases.
Erection weakens, persistent pain appears in the lower abdomen, and frequent and small urination occurs.
The signs are very similar to the onset of prostatitis. Although the arousal mechanism is not impaired, due to poor health, sex only fades. By the way, the beginning of the development of prostatitis is often manifested by abnormally rapid ejaculation. However, similar symptoms can also indicate a sexually transmitted disease.
What must you do:See a urologist, have your prostate checked and tested for STDs. You should not delay seeing a doctor: sexually transmitted diseases provoke the development of prostatitis, and in advanced forms, prostate tissue changes irreversibly, possiblyleading to the onset of incurable impotence. In its early stages, prostatitis can be treated successfully and is virtually painless.
For all of the potential disorders listed, a healthy lifestyle and regular high-quality sex will greatly help recovery. The level of testosterone in the blood depends on the frequency of intimate contact - the more frequent, the more hormones are released into the blood, and vice versa - the less sex, the less androgens necessary for men are released. manufacture.
