Risk Factors

In the high-risk group, people who lead the wrong lifestyle have bad habits: alcoholism, drug addiction, smoking. For example, in those men who often and in large doses drink alcohol, impotence occurs quite often. Nicotine and drug addiction are no less harmful to the sexual health of the stronger sex.

When smoking tobacco, the oxygen content in the blood decreases. As a result, this negatively affects the state of all cells in the body, including the brain. Since it is in the brain that impulses are created, which are then transmitted to the cells of the genital organ, smoking is quite capable of being the main cause of impotence. Even in smokers, blood vessels become inelastic, narrowing occurs, and this also provokes erection problems.

The use of alcoholic beverages provokes disturbances in the functioning of the nervous system, thrombus formation is possible and, in general, problems with the cardiovascular system arise. Another aspect of alcohol is to stimulate the production of estrogen. As a result, the hormonal background changes, which leads to problems with potency and reduces libido.

In addition to dependent people, men with obesity, overweight are at risk.

Constant stress, neurotic lifestyle, overstrain at work or work without days off, irregular work schedule, improper alternation of work and rest regimes are no less dangerous than bad habits.

In terms of the threat of impotence, age is not a significant factor. Over time, the possibilities of a man in an intimate sense diminish. However, if you lead a healthy rational lifestyle, then the potency can persist well beyond 50-60 years. Therefore, to say that impotence at 40 is normal, as well as at 50 is meaningless. This disorder can occur at any age as a result of certain malfunctions in the body.
