What influences male potency and how?
The concept of male potency, in addition to the strength of erection, also includes the rate of occurrence and degree of sexual desire, the stability of the erect state of the penis, the duration of sexual intercourse. The mechanism of this process, which involves the nervous, endocrine and cardiovascular systems, is very complex and depends on many different factors. The weakening of potency is associated with violations of any of the links in this chain.
A few decades ago, the doctor, most often, could not give a definite answer to the question of what affects male potency. In the arsenal of physicians, there was an insufficient amount of information about the mechanisms of the onset of an erect state, the reactions that occur with the participation of hormones and enzymes. Therefore, psychological factors, mental disorders and emotional lability were put forward as the main reasons for the weakening of potency.
Of course, the listed aspects are extremely important, and sexual disorders can also be caused by difficult relationships in a couple, dissatisfaction with the appearance and behavior of a partner, and childhood psychological trauma. But in the first place is still the work of the heart and blood vessels, the health of the thyroid gland, pituitary gland and hypothalamus, the activity of natural testosterone production. And, of course, the normal functioning of the urinary organs. Let's take a closer look at factors that are negative for potency and moments that have a beneficial effect on male power.
What is detrimental to potency?
Factors that affect the normal functioning of the reproductive system surround a man from the moment he is born. If you protect a child from unwanted influences, teach him to observe hygiene, play sports, this will prevent the development of sexual disorders in the future.
What affects a man's potency negatively and what should be feared?
- Diseases of the heart and blood vessels - the erection of the penis necessary for intimate contact is impossible without increased blood flow and good condition of the vascular system. In a word, cardiopathologies, hypertension and atherosclerosis exclude active sexual relations.
Sexual activity and potency are an indicator of the general condition of a man's body. Weakening of libido, sluggish erection, problems with ejaculation and the duration of sexual contact may indicate pathologies of the cardiovascular system, endocrine and nervous diseases.
- Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system - we are talking about inflammation of the prostate gland, urethral canal, testicles.
- Endocrine pathologies - diabetes mellitus, impaired functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland cause insufficient production of testosterone in the testicles, which leads to a decrease in libido and a weakening of erection.
- Improper nutrition - the use of semi-finished products, fatty and spicy foods, the constant snacking on the go with fast food leads to potency disorders. Androgen deficiency affects sweet tooth, who can not deny themselves an extra chocolate bar or cake.
- Hypodynamia or too high physical activity - in men, who spend most of their time sitting in one place, congestion in the small pelvis inevitably develops over time. Those who are constantly forced to perform hard physical work, or have chosen an increased load of sports training, often have low testosterone levels.
- Overweight is a condition that has long developed into a global problem of mankind, inextricably linked with the diet and the level of physical activity. An increased concentration of certain lipids suppresses the production of testosterone and stimulates the production of estrogen. Obese people most often suffer from circulatory disorders that prevent powerful and stable erections.
- Stressful conditions and unfavorable psychological atmosphere.
- Addictions - excessive infatuation with alcoholic beverages leads to violations of the vascular system, which leads to insufficient blood supply to the penis and weak erection strength. Also, ethyl alcohol has a destructive effect on hepatocytes, and one of the consequences of liver disease is insufficient natural production of testosterone and a decrease in the level of this hormone. The use of alcohol and narcotic substances inhibits the activity of the spinal centers and disruption of the transmission of nerve impulses, which manifests itself in the occurrence of erectile dysfunction, a reduction in the duration of sexual contact, and premature ejaculation. Drugs and alcoholic beverages are a common cause of depressive states that cause psychogenic impotence. Let's say a few words about energy drinks, which have become very popular among young people. At first, they cause a surge in activity, including sexual activity, making it possible to tirelessly indulge in love pleasures.Fatigue, albeit imperceptibly, accumulates, the nervous system is depleted, the body refuses to continue working in this mode. As a result, a man loses interest in sex, and his sexuality drops sharply.
- The use of anabolic steroids and some nutritional supplements - often used to quickly acquire relief muscles, popular among bodybuilders and weightlifters. The composition includes testosterone, which enters the body of a man, which leads to inhibition of the process of androgen synthesis in the testicles. A relatively cheap variety of protein powder is derived from soy and contains plant estrogens that are similar to female sex hormones. The circulation of an increased amount of estrogen in the blood of a man is associated with a decrease in sexual abilities.
- Taking a number of medications is a side effect in the form of a weakening of potency, which is characteristic of antidepressants, psychotropic drugs, b-blockers, diuretics, and some other groups of drugs.
For the well-being of personal life between partners, there must be a trusting open relationship. You can’t withdraw into yourself, you need to talk about emerging problems with your soulmate, try to jointly find their solution.
