What causes the potency to decrease

Potency depends on many factors, but all doctors unanimously say that disorders in the genital area are directly related to the general health of a man.

What is erictile dysfunction?

The deterioration of intimate life in men, most often, manifests itself in this way:

• Erection is present, but intercourse does not last more than 3 minutes, that is, rapid ejaculation occurs
• The blood flow to the penis is very weak, which makes it impossible for its penetration into the vagina

These symptoms are an alarming signal that requires immediate referral to a specialist who conducts a complete examination of the whole body, finds the cause of a weak erection and offers treatment options. Long-term medical practice has united all possible causes of impotence into the following groups:

• Psychological disorders. This category includes depression, drug use, alcohol use, fear of "sexual failure", etc. It should be noted that most narcotic drugs do not have a direct effect on sexual function. However, in the absence of a regular "dose", the body begins to fall into a depressive state, the man has no interest in the whole world around him, including sex.
• Malfunctions in the endocrine system - provoke the development of diabetes mellitus, the appearance being overweight and can negatively affect the development of the sex glands. All this has a detrimental effect on a man's sexual desire.
• Cardiovascular diseases. The most common here are strokes, blockages in the pelvic region, and hypertension. These diseases are associated with high or low blood pressure, which interferes with blood circulation throughout the body, and, accordingly, impairs blood flow to the penis.
• Genital trauma is common in athletes, especially those involved in extreme sports. Not all damage results in 100% recovery. Sometimes, even after a course of treatment and rehabilitation, the ability to perform its function returns to the penis, but erectile dysfunction may occur.
• Taking medications. To make sure that the cause of impotence is this or that medicine, you will need to consult the doctor who prescribed it. In addition, all side effects can be found in the instructions for use. As a rule, the drug is discontinued or a safe analogue is prescribed. According to statistics, problems with potency can be associated with the use of antipsychotics, in the treatment of ulcers, cardiovascular and mental diseases.
• Urological diseases, such as inflammation of the prostate gland or urethritis, as evidenced by worsening urination, itching or burning, painful cramps in the pubic area.

Types and symptoms of impotence

Impotence can be classified into 2 types - psychological and organic, depending on what causes it was provoked. In the first case, erectile dysfunction manifests itself suddenly, most often, after certain negative events, stress, strong emotional stress. In this case, a man can experience night and morning erections. The second case is characterized by the gradual development of the problem, and with the progression of impotence, nighttime uncontrolled sexual arousal can completely disappear. Organic impotence does not go away on its own and is often associated with age-related changes or vascular diseases.

Diagnosis of impotence

To determine from what the potency decreases in a particular case, only a urologist will be able to conduct an examination, interview the patient and prescribe the necessary studies. Most often, the diagnosis consists in the collection of biological materials - smears, sperm and blood, which will help determine the presence or absence of urological diseases. It is possible that you will additionally need to undergo an ultrasound scan. In the event that impotence has become the cause of hormonal disruption, an endocrinologist will come to the rescue, who will conduct a comprehensive examination of the thyroid gland, an organ that directly affects the level of male libido. In case of violations of the cardiovascular system, the patient is prescribed Doppler ultrasound.This technique allows you to maximize the state of the blood vessels responsible for the supply of blood to the penis. If a weak erection is caused by psychological illnesses, it is worth contacting a psychotherapist or sex therapist. Often, when the first disruptions in intimate life appear, men begin to withdraw into themselves, fall into depression, and a mental disorder is added to the physiological disorder.
