Recovery of potency after 50

The process of extinction of sexual abilities is activated long before the onset of 50 years of age. The first significant decrease in the level of hormonal activity of the testes located in the testes is noted after overcoming the 30-year mark.

Reasons for decreased sexual performance

The onset of middle age entails a gradual decrease in the production of the male sex hormone. A decrease in testosterone levels in the male body causes a decrease in the level of sexual desire for the opposite sex. The process of slowing down hormonal secretion is natural and occurs in the body of all healthy men. The following negative factors can worsen the condition of the reproductive system and cause an accelerated decrease in sexual potency:

• hard physical labor, increased mental stress or nervous strain
• violation of rest regime, chronic fatigue syndrome
• poor environmental situation, living near areas prone to radiation pollution
• unhealthy diet, abuse of fatty, sweet and starchy foods, carbonated drinks, smoked meats and pickles
• tobacco smoking, which provokes vasospasm and increases the risk of blood clots that impede blood flow
• abuse of alcoholic beverages that destroy the liver, brain cells and cause severe erectile dysfunction
• minimal level of physical activity, sedentary work. Physical inactivity leads to the formation of blood congestion and weight gain
• neuropsychiatric disorders and depression. Psychogenic pathologies cause damage to the activity of nerve cells responsible for the transport of signals of sexual arousal
• diseases of the cardiovascular nature and the endocrine system, neurological damage, pathologies of the urinary and reproductive systems, brain tumors
• systematic intake of certain medications (drugs for the treatment of depression, cancer, or Parkinson's disease), the use of low-quality dietary supplements
• injuries involving the genital organs, nerve endings and vascular walls

Prevention of early impotence

A man can reduce the likelihood of a significant decrease in sexual function by following these simple recommendations:

• maintaining a normal level of physical activity
• balanced and fractional nutrition
• taking medicinal herbal decoctions and infusions (ginseng, ginger, St. John's wort) to increase immunity and stimulate sexual abilities< / li>
• hardening of the body
• replacement of drugs that suppress the work of reproductive organs. The change of pharmaceuticals should be carried out under the supervision of the attending physician
• quitting smoking, taking drugs and alcoholic beverages
• regular sexual activity with a regular partner

Treatment of age-related impotence

Sexual dysfunctions arising in patients of the older age group are of a pronounced persistent nature. That is why impotence patients over the age of 50 should undergo systemic treatment after a preliminary diagnostic examination.

Psychotherapeutic assistance

In the presence of negative psychogenic factors that inhibit the functioning of the reproductive system, patients undergo psychotherapy together with their sexual partner. The couple learns delicate communication, mutual understanding and mutual assistance. In individual sessions with a doctor, a man can get rid of the negative influence of childhood traumas and psycho-emotional shocks that occurred in adolescence. The doctor will help you painlessly overcome stressful and conflict situations.

Medical correction of erectile dysfunction

A number of drugs have a beneficial effect on the functioning of the reproductive system, including phosphodiesterase inhibitors and hormonal substances. The doctor may prescribe injection treatment, when the introduction of medications is carried out into the cavernous bodies of the penis or into the urethra. Tonic pharmacological agents based on plant extracts are widely used. In addition, a patient with erectile lesions and decreased libido receives general strengthening treatment and takes drugs to neutralize somatic disorders.

Psychotherapy and Surgery

Regular exercise and massage treatments have a positive effect on sexual health. Surgical methods are used when it is necessary to repair or eliminate severe vascular lesions.
