How long does it take for potency to recover after quitting smoking?

Smoking can ruin any health. Cigarettes are especially harmful to men, fundamentally disrupting erectile function. Is it possible to fully restore potency after quitting smoking and how does this process take place? First things first!

Smoking and male power

It's no secret that nicotine is a poison for humans. In the modern world, everyone can find information confirming the enormous danger that lies in wait for anyone who smokes cigarettes daily.

However, young men often do not think about their health. They do not realize that regular smoking leads not only to lung cancer, but also to a number of other diseases, one of which is impotence (read about the main causes of impotence at a young age HERE). At 25, it seems that all this is fiction and myth. But, when in 40 years already disappears the opportunity to even just have sex (not to mention procreation), men begin to think about their problem.

Effects of nicotine and tobacco on the body, contributing to a decrease in potency in men:

How will quitting smoking affect potency?

Immediately it is necessary to indicate that the restoration of potency in men after quitting smoking is possible in full or partial form. It all depends on the experience of the smoker and a number of related factors.

The most important of them remain:

• The severity of vascular lesions in the body. If there is irreversible sclerosis of capillaries in the genital organ and prostate gland, full restoration of an erection is out of the question. At a young age, the formation of new vessels is possible, which takes time.
• The presence of concomitant chronic pathology. Men who smoke often have a whole "bouquet" of diseases that further reduce potency. The fewer there are, the easier it will be to return sexual activity, so that you can additionally be tested for the presence of them, and, if necessary, undergo a course of treatment.
• Attitude. To quit smoking for the fastest recovery you need to abruptly, you should not delay this process (ala tomorrow, from Monday, from the new month, etc.). If you've thought about it, then just do it, think about the fact that it may be too late. And normal potency and erection are the most precious thing for a man.

In any case, giving up the addiction will not be able to fully regain its former strength in one day. The body needs some time to recover.

How long to wait?

The restoration of male potency after quitting smoking occurs in each of the stronger sex in different ways. It is difficult to say how many days, months or years it will take. Much depends on the individual characteristics of the patient.

Nevertheless, a very approximate relationship can be drawn between smoking history and the recovery time of sexual function:

• Up to 5 years old. The resumption of normal activity is possible after 1-2 months, provided that the diet is normalized and the pathology is treated in parallel.
• Up to 10 years old. It may take about 6 months to normalize the quality of your sex life with due regard to your health.
• Up to 20 years old. The terms vary from six months to two years, depending on the state of the internal organs. At the same time, there is a possibility that it will not be possible to restore potency 100%.
• More than 20 years old. Most likely, full sexual activity after such a smoking experience will not be restored, because incorrigible changes have probably already occurred in the body.

However, this ratio is too approximate. The fact is that no one actually conducted clinical research. In addition, it is very difficult to even roughly assess the relationship between all comorbidities in the body of each of the stronger sex.

Remember !!! Quitting smoking to restore normal potency is one of the main steps towards improving the quality of sexual life. In combination with drug treatment and physiotherapy procedures, in most cases, even a complete restoration of the former male health is possible. Well, in those rare situations when this cannot be achieved and a partial improvement in erection will be a joyful event.
