Weak potency in men, causes and treatment, best postures

Sexual disorders negatively affect both a man's health and his social life. Weak erection in medicine is referred to as "erectile dysfunction" and is a key problem in sexopathology.

Weak erection in men, what does this mean?

At the heart of the process by which the penis becomes ready for intercourse is a complex cascade of physiological reactions. It leads to massive blood filling of the organ and the simultaneous temporary blockage of the outflow of blood from it.

Potency can occur as a result of nervous sexual stimulation, and independently of it. There are the following types of erection:

• involuntary or spontaneous;
• reflex;
• psychogenic.

Full blood filling of the organ during intercourse occurs due to the interaction of the last two mechanisms. Weak potency is the lack of firmness in the penis, which prevents a full sexual life. According to studies, this problem affects 40% of men aged 40-50 years. In the interval of 50-60 years, this figure increases to 50%, at an older age - to 70%.

Root reasons

The causes of the pathology are varied. Due to the availability of modern diagnostic capabilities, new data indicate the predominance of organic disorders over psychological disorders. After a thorough examination, the patient often shows a combination.

Among the psychogenic factors of impotence, the following reasons are traditionally distinguished:

• excessive stress loads;
• depressive states and neuroses;
• chronic lack of sleep;
• fear of failure in bed;
• discord in the relationship with a partner.

All of these conditions lead to a decrease in libido. It is important to take into account the close relationship of stimuli coming from the brain with the physiological mechanisms that directly lead to the ability to have sexual intercourse. Thus, it has been proven that psychogenic factors can cause a decrease in the synthesis of nitric oxide - the most important compound that induces the following processes:

• vasodilation, providing an intensive blood flow;
• increased release of NO directly from the endothelium lining the trabeculae.

Thus, a decrease in libido has a negative effect on all the main links in the onset of an erection. Organic erectile dysfunction is divided into 3 groups:

According to studies, up to a third of patients suffering from prostatitis are prone to erectile dysfunction of one degree or another. Often a very weak potency arises from the influence of several factors at once. In this case, we are talking about a mixed etiology. Old age, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are serious threats to a confident "boner".

Excessive alcohol consumption, the use of drugs, including those that are classified as "lungs", are also cited as risk factors for the development of sexual impotence. This also includes a sedentary lifestyle, malnutrition, taking a number of medications - hormonal drugs and anabolic drugs.

Symptoms and signs

The clinical picture of erectile dysfunction can vary in the severity of symptoms. As a rule, the patient goes to the doctor with the following complaints:

• decreased potency, weak firmness of the penis before and in the middle of intercourse;
• violation of sensations during orgasm, rapid ejaculation;
• fear of another sexual failure;
• lack of spontaneous erection at night and in the morning.

They, in certain cases, are combined with manifestations of other types of disorders in this area: a decrease in sexual desire and impaired ejaculation.

At a young age, the problem is often associated with psychogenic factors. A feature of this type of dysfunction is the preservation of spontaneous and masturbatory (reflex) erection. For representatives of the stronger sex, after 40 years, organic reasons become relevant, a gradual increase in symptoms is characteristic here. All types of erections weaken synchronously.

During an objective examination, the doctor pays attention to the following signs:

• anatomical features of the penis and scrotum;
• having symptoms of feminization;
• development of secondary sexual characteristics.

An important and necessary point is a digital examination of the prostate gland. Despite the intimacy of the procedure, it is necessary to obtain a complete clinical picture. It can play a key role in determining the cause of the disorder. At the present stage of the development of medicine, various kinds of diagnostic questionnaires of the surveyed have gained popularity. They are developed by specialists separately for each specific disease.Patients with complaints of sexual weakness fill out a questionnaire called the International Index of Erectile Function.

What to do if a man has weak potency: how to treat?

After carrying out the necessary diagnostic procedures and establishing an accurate diagnosis, a treatment regimen is developed taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient. Girls should know that a guy's weak potency requires an integrated approach to therapy. In particular, psychological support of a loved one plays an important role. This pathology does not always require serious pharmacotherapy. It all depends on the severity of the patient's condition.

Natural preparations

On the modern market of dietary supplements, there are a number of products with an exclusively natural composition. In this regard, their use has a minimum list of contraindications. As a rule, they are limited to individual intolerance and the presence of severe organic pathologies.

Listed below are the recommended representatives of natural drugs that increase weak potency:

For mild and irregular erection problems, lighter drugs may be effective. Means based on such substances as Yohimbine and L-arginine have proven themselves. Their main action is to stimulate blood circulation in the penis. Arginine is converted to nitric oxide through certain enzymatic reactions. Yohimbine is a plant alkaloid that acts on the center of erection and ejaculation in the brain. If the pathology is not too neglected, improvement and even complete cure occurs without the need to take powerful synthetic drugs.

Folk remedies

The complex therapy also includes such an item as traditional medicine. It is possible to treat potency with the help of "grandmother's" remedies only after consulting your doctor.

Certain methods of alternative medicine may be contraindicated in certain situations. The recipes presented in the table below received the greatest recognition.

The fact that bee products have a beneficial effect on sex, its brightness and duration has been known for a long time. The action of rhodiola is related to ginseng, and the healing property of calamus is associated with the presence of a unique combination of essential oils.

Exercise and massage

Physiotherapy is indicated for most disorders associated with the activity of the cardiovascular system. The same applies to massage, which should only be performed by a highly qualified specialist.

Exercises that are prescribed for a weak erection are aimed at achieving the following effects:

• increase testosterone production;
• strengthening the pelvic muscles;
• improving overall well-being;
• increase stamina.

The main purpose of the massage is to eliminate muscle spasms and stimulate blood circulation in problem areas. It should be understood that after 30 years, men inevitably begin to show signs of deterioration of the body. Competent physical activity slows down the aging process and restores vitality, including the ability to actively practice intimacy in all desired variations and positions.

Tips

Among the simple and at the same time effective tips to help with sexual disorders, the following can be distinguished:

• regular cardio exercise stimulates blood circulation, which means that it increases the chance to maintain male strength for many years;
• take care of your nerves - and they will pay back by harmonious regulation of all processes in the body, including the intimate sphere;
• giving up bad habits is the most important step towards maintaining health, both at a young and old age;
• irreplaceable foods that have a positive effect on potency - chili peppers, fatty fish, banana, chicken eggs, garlic and onions.

Separately, it is necessary to say about the fight against excess weight. Obesity negatively affects the synthesis of testosterone in the body, increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Medicines

In severe cases of erectile dysfunction and in the presence of organic pathology, the doctor decides to treat the patient with synthetic medications. If you are sure that you have turned to a competent specialist, in no case should you get into a position and violate the doctor's recommendations - if he prescribed this or that drug, it means that he took into account the ratio of possible harm and necessary benefit.

According to modern protocols, the main group of pharmacological agents for the treatment of weak erection are type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors. But they only fight the symptoms, not the root cause. Its most famous representatives are Cialis and Viagra. You cannot start taking medication yourself. This can lead to an aggravation of the condition and even the emergence of life-threatening conditions.For example, the combined use of PDE-5 inhibitors and nitroglycerin leads to an excessive decrease in blood pressure and collapse, which entails the risk of death. If this group of drugs is ineffective, local injections of vasodilating drugs are used directly into the cavernous bodies or urethra. For problems with hormones, hormone replacement therapy is prescribed. In any case, the choice should be made exclusively on the basis of a doctor's appointment.

Poses with weak potency in a man

If the erection is weakened, but to some extent retained, a number of positions listed below may be suitable for full intercourse:

When using special attachments to lengthen the organ and facilitate intercourse or an erection ring, the range of potentially successful positions expands.

With or without a condom?

It is not uncommon for sex in a condom to be unsuccessful. This can affect both the completely healthy representative of the stronger sex, and the one who complains of problems with potency. The reasons for this situation may be the following:

• there are special substances on the surface of the condom to prolong intimacy - if there are problems with erection, the use of this type of contraceptive will not lead to anything good (sensitivity decreases);
• insufficient thinness of the wall of the product - given the already reduced sensitivity, people with erectile dysfunction, if it is impossible to completely reject condoms, should choose the thinnest option;
• psychological emotions while pulling on a condom also play a significant negative role (a man loses the "key" of arousal), which is especially important when diagnosing psychogenic impotence.

In order to create optimal conditions for the restoration of the health of the sexual sphere, it is desirable to have a constant beloved partner, with whom there will be no need to use a condom. Then the man will be able to calmly undergo the examination and the course of treatment and, if necessary, refuse to use such products for a while (read about PPA in a separate article).

The problem of weak potency in modern times has become actively discussed. More and more men stop considering seeking medical help about such a delicate issue as something shameful. These circumstances led to a rapid improvement in the quality of care for this category of patients, and made the solution to the problem feasible in a short time and for many years.
