Methods for restoring potency
The main reason for the rapid decline in potency is the lack of proper treatment. Often, men do not want to go to a doctor with an intimate problem and take self-medication without taking into account the type and severity of erectile pathology. As a result of the use of inadequate methods of treatment, the patient provokes a deterioration in well-being and a strong decrease in libido.
Patients suffering from insufficient sexual desire, it is necessary to remember that the use of any means to maintain and restore potency should take place on the recommendation of a physician. A urologist treats patients with impotence, based on the results of tests and instrumental examination of a man. If necessary, the specialist directs the patient for additional diagnostics, consultation with an endocrinologist, sex therapist or psychotherapist.
Classification of methods for increasing sexual potency
