The male body is influenced by many factors. All of them to some extent affect the state of erection.
What potency depends on is the question that interests many men.
Classification of internal causes
All factors can be divided into several groups:
- psychological; physiological
- ;
- constitutional.
Psychological
The emotional state has a strong influence on a man's erection state. The impact, in some cases, is more pronounced than age, the level of testosterone in the blood and the state of the vessels of the genital organs.
This means that even a young man whose physical parameters are normal can suffer from erectile dysfunction, which has developed against the background of psychological factors.
The main psychogenic reasons affecting potency are:
- Stress at work.Problems, problems in the team, dissatisfaction with one's job often lead to a decrease in libido in the first place. A man returning home from an unloved job has no desire for intimacy. Solution to the problem: take control of the situation, resolve conflict situations or find a new job. If the listed options are not suitable, you can try to have a hobby in which the man will fulfill himself. In extreme cases, sedatives will help, calming the nervous system.
- Misunderstandings in the familyis the second most important problem. Harmony and respect in family relationships are based on trust between partners. If a man hides his problems from his partner, the situation gets worse. The solution lies in a conversation that will help you reach an understanding.
- The monotony of intimate lifein regular partners leads to a decrease in libido and erectile function. You can diversify the sex with a joint trip to an unusual place, new positions, role play, you just have to turn on your fantasy.
- Prolonged lack of sexin men leads to psychological problems, which consist of a failure mentality. If the problem does not go away on its own, then you need to contact a specialist, a sex therapist for help, as psychogenic erectile dysfunction can form.
- Potency in men depends on women. A pretty, well-groomed woman with a nice appearance and warm attitude arouses much more arousal than a messy person who constantly scandalizes.
- Depressionis an extreme level of psychological problems. A man loses interest in life and the world around him, suicidal thoughts appear, fatigue increases and performance decreases, insomnia, loss of appetite and weight loss torment him. Along with this, the erection disappears. The condition is treated by a specialist using special drug preparations.
Some psychotherapists believe that potency is influenced by the number of sexual partners.
The more short-term relationships a man has, the worse the erection.
Psychological problems begin to appear in middle age, when sex "gets boring" and stops being enjoyable.
Constitutional
There are some characteristics of the body that influence male potency.
- Overweight. Obesity is characterized by the presence of excess adipose tissue in the body. In addition to provoking the development of many diseases of the internal organs, obesity causes an increase in female hormones in the blood. The aromatization processes of androgens into estrogens take place in the cells of the adipose tissue. Female hormones accumulate and cause even greater obesity, but with localization of deposits on the face and thighs. In the mammary glands, the proliferation of glandular tissue begins, gynecomastia is formed. The voice can become a higher pitch. Libido decreases and the erection does not become solid enough.
- Age. Testicular function for testosterone production reaches its peak at the age of 18-30. Until the age of 18, young men are in puberty, which is characterized by the development of the genitals and secondary sexual characteristics. From the time of maturation until the age of 30, testosterone levels in the blood of healthy men are at the highest rates. From the age of 30, the function of the testicles gradually, very slowly, begins to wear off. After 50 years, androgens become half of 25 years old. The potency of a man directly depends on testosterone. The hormone stimulates the growth, development and normal functioning of the genitals, normalizes spermatogenesis, is responsible for the growth of body hair, tone of the voice and muscle growth, and also increases libido. In old age, erection problems begin precisely due to the decrease in androgens.
- Genetic predisposition.The state of potency is inherited, as is the size of the penis. If father and grandfather have excellent potency in old age, son and grandson are more likely to have the same.
- Hypogonadismis an insufficient level of testosterone in the blood. There are many reasons. These are congenital anomalies in the structure of the testicles, toxic, infectious, radiation damage. Pituitary hypogonadism is also isolated when there are problems with the synthesis of gonadotropic hormones by the pituitary gland.
Constitutional factors are the most difficult to change. A correct lifestyle, the use of products that stimulate potency and weight loss can help restore erectile function.
For genetic diseases and diseases of the testicles, treatment is based on the replacement of testosterone.
Physiological
The largest group of factors affecting potency.
- Bad habits. Smoking is the most harmful to potency. A single cigarette smoked provides enough nicotine to spasm blood vessels throughout the body for fifteen minutes. It suffers, including the vessels that feed the pelvic organs. Smoking more than five cigarettes a day leads to a decrease in potency by fifty percent from the norm. Drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation has a beneficial effect on erection, as vasodilation occurs, making it easier to fill the penis with blood. If a man suffers from alcoholism, it negatively affects the erection and mainly the libido. Against the background of the craving for alcohol, the attraction to women disappears.
- Sports activitiesaffect potency in different ways. Swimming, running, yoga increase and stimulate the erection. Cycling negatively affects testosterone synthesis due to prolonged compression of the testicles. Excessive exercises with the barbell lead to the appearance of intervertebral hernias, which violate the vessels and nerves that go to the pelvis, which can also cause erectile dysfunction.
- Regular sex life. Everyone has a different frequency of intercourse over a certain period of time. You don't have to do violence to yourself to prove your super macho partner to your partner. Excessive sexual activity can lead to libido problems in the future.
- The speed of the report.Scientists consider the normal number of intercourse in men from twenty-five to forty-five years to be 1 time per week to 1 time per day. The average number of reports per week is three times. But this indicator is individual. .
- Nutritionhas a pronounced effect on erectile function. Consuming products that increase masculinity prevents future problems. The abuse of fried, fatty and fast foods causes an increase in blood cholesterol and the development of atherosclerosis by the pelvic vessel. This is the problem of defective erection and decreased libido.
- Inflammatory diseasesof the genitals, especially the prostate. Prostatitis causes perineal pain, fever, erectile dysfunction, and difficulty urinating. Treatment of prostatitis should be comprehensive, under the supervision of a urologist, so there are all possibilities to restore potency.
- Diabetes mellitusis a disease that significantly affects male potential. Under the influence of a large amount of glucose in the blood, a pathological change occurs in the vessels and nerves throughout the body. Men with diabetes mellitus suffer from insufficient sensitivity in the genitals and poor blood circulation in the penis. Treatment is just a drug with the participation of a urologist and an endocrinologist.
Environmental factors
These include:
- Ecology, which mainly affects testosterone synthesis and the level of sexual desire.
- Professional functions. Problems are usually experienced by those who perform sedentary jobs. In drivers, a heated seat joins the stagnant processes in the prostate, which also adversely affects the functioning of the genitals. Programmers have a hard time sitting in one position for long periods of time. Men who occupy managerial positions are subject to a decrease in erection, psychogenic problems are added due to stress.
It is impossible to keep in mind and correct all the factors that affect erectile function. The main thing to remember is that what is good for the whole organism is good for male strength.
