Problems with erectile function in old age 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. The recovery of potency after 60 years is a very difficult process. We have to resort to various methods of treatment. However, despite the complexity of therapy, it is possible to return male strength even at 70, for this it is necessary to strictly follow the rules of therapy prescribed by the doctor.
Features of the functioning of the reproductive system of 60-year-old men
At 60, giving up sex shouldn't be considered commonplace. In old age, the interpersonal relationships of couples change significantly. The attraction becomes stronger, as there is time for attention to the couple.
At the age of 60, your sex life becomes calmer and needs to be smooth. However, for sexual desire it was necessary to monitor your body.
At the age of 60, it significantly reduces the level of production by the testes of the male sex hormone - testosterone. Testosterone plays an important role in the human body. Especially its lack begins to disturb at the age of 40, when the body is not able to be as active as before.
Despite the low potential for sexual activity due to testosterone levels, sexual desire for the opposite sex remains at the same level.
It should be noted that with the transition to older age groups, the cessation of erectile function is a natural process. After you turn 65, each year could be your last sexually. But the period of exhaustion of male power can be postponed indefinitely.
At the first symptoms, it is advisable to change your lifestyle: change the environment, spend more time outdoors.
The reasons for the weakening of potency
Factors contributing to the 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 limbs, 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 prerequisites for the formation of blood clots.
- Frequent use of alcoholic beverages.Men who drink alcohol are more likely to suffer from impotence than those who avoid excessive drinking. This is especially true for beer lovers. When drinking a intoxicated drink, the amount of female hormone in the human body increases dramatically. 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 - a lack of testosterone in the testicles, which leads to reduced sexual activity.
- Drug use. All types of drugs, both light and potent, fall into this category. Narcotic drugs affect the entire body, including the immune and vascular systems. They undermine their ability and prevent proper recovery. As a result, the structure of the systems changes and the body is unable to function properly.
- Pathology of the urinary system.The problem with potency may lie not only in the presence or imbalance of hormones. Sometimes bladder diseases 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 activity of the organism. Frequent sitting or inactivity leads to a decrease in blood flow in the body. Since the vascular system is considered the founder of everything, including potency, its small changes lead to problems.
- Psychology. Separately, among the factors, it is worth noting the 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 particularly difficult to treat. 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 exhaust the body. Symptoms of chronic fatigue or sleepiness 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 complications after the disease. For example, after vegetative-vascular dystonia or genital disorders.
- Constant imbalance of nutrients in the body.In old age, it is especially important to maintain proper nutrition. At 60, the body cannot fight the harmful fats and bacteria that enter the mouth. Therefore, it is necessary to control the diet. You need to eat more foods that contain vitamin and mineral complexes and try to eat fewer foods that contain trans fats and hormones.
Note!Marijuana is particularly strong in the development of impotence. Its composition has a negative effect on the production of a number of important hormones necessary for sexual activity.
Ways to Increase
Before choosing a treatment for erectile dysfunction in adulthood, you should definitely consult your doctor.
Correct power supply
Normal nutrition at 60 is a guarantee of health. It has been noted that a properly selected diet prolongs erectile function up to 80 years.
The following foods should be included in the diet:
- Increase the amount of fiber;
- Reduce the amount of salt in the body;
- Eat more seafood by stabilizing the nervous system;
- Limit your intake of foods containing cholesterol;
- Add nutrients containing magnesium and calcium to the diet;
- Reduce the amount of alcoholic beverages, especially strong ones.
Sports activity
Active sports lead to an improvement in the cardiovascular system.
Among all the ways to pass active time are distinguished:
- Exercises for the pelvic area.Exercise should be relaxing and not stress the groin area. The goal of the exercise is to increase blood flow in the pelvic region.
- Aerobic exercise. As in the past, the exercise perfectly pours the blood into the vessels of the groin area. Along with the blood, there is an influx of other beneficial substances.
- Yoga. This type of load is useful not only physically, but also psychologically. All exercises contribute to relaxation and stimulation of the exact area that needs therapy.
Before choosing a treatment method, you should consult your doctor. In some cases, the load will adversely affect the state of the body and the male strength in general.
Regular sex life
Constant sex life is one way to keep the body in good shape. This is especially necessary for the pelvic area, where the main organs responsible for hormone production are concentrated.
Drugs
Medicines are used only in cases where a chemical imbalance has been caused by potency. For psychological problems, the use of drugs can only be used as a placebo. This is due to the fact that psychological problems are not associated with the presence of bacteria or infections in the body, it is exclusively a psychological barrier and is treated only by a sexologist or psychotherapist.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies are more often used at the first symptoms of potency. However, it should be noted that the recipes are also used for advanced diseases.
Most often used as a base, bee products. With the products are obtained tinctures, decoctions and ointments.
