Sluggish potency causes and treatment

Any man, regardless of age and sexual experience, may experience intimate problems associated with a sluggish erection, as a result of which intercourse does not bring the same pleasure. Malfunctions of the reproductive system, as a rule, are accompanied by insufficient elasticity of the penis, but at the same time the man continues to experience sexual desire. To get rid of this problem, first of all, it is necessary to determine what is the cause of sluggish potency.

Factors and causes of impotence

1. Age-related changes. For older men, erectile dysfunction is more common than for young, and this is due to a number of reasons. With age, the functioning of all systems and organs deteriorates and slows down, and the penis is no exception.

GOOD TO KNOW: According to statistics, the peak of sexual activity in men occurs between the ages of 20 and 30.

2. Unfavorable emotional environment. Constant stress can cause serious neurological diseases, resulting in impotence. 3. Physical fatigue. Constant strength training can cause temporary erectile dysfunction. This factor also includes sports training, during which athletes train exhaustingly to compete. 4. Smoking and alcohol. Substances contained in alcoholic beverages and cigarettes clog blood vessels, which significantly slows down the supply of blood to the penis. 5. Disruption of the endocrine system, which is directly related to the production of testosterone (male hormone) in the body. But, most often, a sluggish erection is triggered by a circulatory disorder in the pelvic region, which in turn may be associated with:

• sedentary work
• overweight
• hip injury

GOOD TO KNOW: Rare abnormalities in the work of the male genital organ cannot be considered a pathology, but if the erection is sluggish for a long period (from 3 months), then the problem requires medical attention.

How to increase libido

If a weakened potency in a man is associated with one of the above reasons, it is worth reconsidering your lifestyle and, possibly, giving up some bad habits. First, doctors recommend moving as much as possible (walking down the street, swimming, or playing sports), especially if you spend most of your time in a sitting position. Moderate physical activity will improve blood flow to all organs, which, accordingly, will have a positive effect on erection. The following exercises can also contribute to this:

• alternate swinging with both legs in a prone and standing position
• lifting the pelvis up from a lying position
• rotation of the pelvis in a standing position, hands on the belt

Secondly, a contrast shower will be useful for the reproductive and cardiovascular system. In addition, special attention should be paid to nutrition. A full diet should contain fresh vegetables, as much fruit as possible, various seafood, but alcohol and fatty foods should be completely eliminated or at least reduced to a minimum. At the same time, the optimal percentage of fat in the daily diet is 30%. Until now, doctors argue about the effect of coffee on potency. Some claim that coffee weakens an erection, while others claim that caffeine in moderate doses tones the body. If erectile dysfunction is associated with psychological problems, it is important to change the environment and escape from everyday worries. In this situation, a trip to rest, a small hike will help, and for someone a "magic wand" will be a quiet evening spent in front of the TV. To prevent libido from falling, a man needs to have a regular sex life, preferably with one partner. Prolonged abstinence from sex affects everyone differently: some men become more sensitive, while others, after a break, find it difficult to return to their usual rut and resume sexual activity.
