Erectile dysfunction is considered to be one of the urgent problems faced by men over the age of 35.
According to statistical research and the results of sociological surveys, it has been found that more than 30% of men suffer from full partial potency. However, only 5% of men seek help from specialists for such a delicate problem. In most cases, men who experience problems during intercourse try to solve the problem themselves by taking drugs to increase erection, which are not able to eliminate the cause of potency, but only stimulate sexual arousal during intercourse.
Such methods of "treatment" lead to deterioration of the main cause of potency, as a result of which a number of complications may arise in the form of a complete lack of potency, infertility and other health problems that will not allow a man to live a full sexual life.
There are a huge number of reasons that do not allow a man to have sexual contact, all of them can develop at a physiological, psychological or pathological level.
The main reasons for potency
Erectile dysfunction is nothing but a reflection of a man's physical or psychological condition. The whole organism is involved in the process of sexual arousal. The brain is considered responsible for the process that transmits impulses throughout the body, resulting in increased blood flow to the pelvic organs and an increased erection. Often, the cause of potency is cumulative reasons that combine several problems.
Potency problems can be caused by the following adverse factors:
- Psychogenic.
- Neurogenic.
- Hormonal.
- vascular;
- Medicine intake;
- External factors.
Considering the individuality of each male organism, other factors may be the cause of potency, but regardless of the cause, it must be identified and eliminated, this will help the man restore sexual arousal and strengthen the erection.
Psychogenic causes of potency
The following psychological factors can cause potency problems:
- problems, failures at work or in the family;
- stress, depression, neurosis, feeling of fear;
- low self-esteem;
- asthenoneurotic syndrome;
- childhood psychological trauma;
- failed first intercourse;
- problems in the relationship with the partner, lack of love, trust and misunderstanding.
Neurogenic causes
Neurogenic factors that contribute to a decrease in potency or its complete absence lie in the destruction of the brain and peripheral system, which are responsible for the functioning of the entire organism:
- congenital anomalies in the structure of the lower part of the spine;
- abnormalities in the development of the central nervous system;
- infectious processes in the spinal cord;
- degenerative changes in the central nervous system;
- autoimmune diseases with an infectious or non-infectious course.
Primary or secondary problems of the central nervous and peripheral systems can completely provoke the absence of an erection. Such pathologies develop as a result of injuries, tumor neoplasms, develop after surgery.
Hormonal disorders
Hormonal imbalance in a man's body can provoke erectile dysfunction. Such pathological processes can develop with reduced production of testosterone (male sex hormone), diseases of the endocrine glands or metabolic disorders in the body:
- diabetes;
- hyperprolactinemia;
- thyroid pathology.
Hormonal imbalance in the body can lead to infertility.
Vascular disorders
Violation of blood flow, vascular changes in 60% of cases provoke erectile dysfunction. Pathological processes can be congenital or acquired and develop as complications after many diseases:
- vascular hypoplasia;
- injuries, fractures of the pelvic bones;
- injury to the perineum;
- damage to the urethra;
- atherosclerosis;
- hypertension;
- varicose veins, thrombophlebitis;
In addition to the above causes contributing to the development of potency, there are other diseases or pathologies in which blood circulation is impaired.
Taking powerful drugs:
Pharmacological drugs are considered one of the reasons for the decrease in potency in men. There are a number of drugs that cause potency:
- psychotropic drugs;
- antihypertensive agents;
- anticancer drugs (cytostatics);
- hormonal drugs that contain female sex hormones.
External factors
Quite often, the violation of sexual activity occurs against the background of other factors that adversely affect the male body:
- intoxication of the body with chemical or toxic substances during work;
- weather conditions;
- inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs;
- alcohol abuse;
- smoking;
- taking medication.
- poor quality food;
- lack of compliance.
How to help a man?
To help a man solve problems with potency, it is necessary to find out the reason that provoked the violation. If the reason is hidden in the psychological health of the man, then you should consult a psychologist or a sexual partner who can hold a person and help him overcome difficulties.
If the reason lies in the man's state of health and the presence of concomitant diseases in the anamnesis, then the help of a medical specialist is indispensable. It is possible to improve potency, get rid of complexes only if the source of the disease, which adversely affects the male genitourinary system, is eliminated.
Based on this article, it can be noted that there are a huge number of reasons that negatively affect male strength. But, as you know, erectile dysfunction in 93% of cases occurs against the background of concomitant disorders in the body, therefore, before restoring potency, the cause must be removed.
