Why there are problems with potency

A decrease in sexual desire occurs in men due to the negative impact of psychogenic and physiological factors. Lack of adequate treatment over time causes a complete loss of erectile ability and infertility.

Signs of Sexual Problems

A man should suspect the development of problems in the intimate sphere and immediately go to the doctor's office if the following signs of erectile dysfunction are found:

• an inability to experience sexual desire
• a complete or partial loss of erectile ability
• an inadequate erection
• a decrease in the incidence of sexual arousal
• lack of orgasm and ejaculation at the end of intercourse
• premature ejaculation
• shortening the duration of intimacy
• dissatisfaction with sexual life
• psychological tension, fear before sexual intercourse

Psychogenic erectile dysfunction

A variety of psychotic prerequisites can cause a decrease in sexual function, including:

• stress, overwork at work, a long stay in a difficult financial situation, other traumatic situations
• lack of understanding in the family, conflicts with a sexual partner
• disrespectful attitude, insults and accusations of male powerlessness on the part of a sexual partner
• violations of sexual behavior, which caused the consolidation of reflex premature ejaculation. Often occurs in individuals who, in adolescence, masturbated in a hurry
• compulsive expectation syndrome, when a man constantly experiences unpleasant emotions associated with a previous unsuccessful intercourse

Changes in personality traits under the influence of sexual problems

A man suffering from impotence is experiencing difficult emotional experiences. As a result of a decrease in sexual function, the patient's personal qualities change. He begins to show coldness and detachment in his relationship with his couple. A patient with intimate disorders suffers from obsessive fears and self-doubt, psychological instability and frequent mood swings. He feels a sense of his own inferiority, constantly ponders the actions he is taking and seeks to make sure they are correct. Signs of deviant behavior appear that contradict socially accepted standards of sexual behavior.

Organic Erectile Dysfunction

A decrease in the activity of the reproductive system can occur as a result of organic lesions, for example:

• vascular diseases. Dysfunction of blood vessels, circulatory failure, the formation of cholesterol plaques and atherosclerotic deposits inside the vascular ducts provoke a decrease in blood flow velocity. As a result, the genitals do not receive a sufficient volume of blood for complete swelling and increased rigidity. Venous diseases (varicose veins, pathological discharge of blood) entail an unnecessarily rapid release of the pelvic organs from the incoming blood. As a result of the described pathological process, a man cannot keep his penis in an erect state for a long time and the duration of sexual contact is significantly reduced;
• neurological problems. Diseases of the central nervous system, namely, trauma and damage that have arisen after surgery, interfere with the normal transmission of signals about the occurrence of an erection. A decrease in potency is noted in persons of the older age group, suffering from multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease, uncontrolled attacks of angina pectoris and Alzheimer's disease;
• anatomical damage to the genital organ. Structural abnormalities often develop due to cavernous fibrosis or angulation;
• hormonal imbalance. Insufficient production of an erection mediator (nitric oxide) or the main male sex hormone (testosterone) provokes a decrease in sex drive and erectile dysfunction;
• an unhealthy lifestyle. Impotence is caused by lack of physical activity and unbalanced diet, taking drugs, abuse of alcohol-containing products and smoking;
• the use of medications that cause a decrease in the activity of the reproductive system.

How to deal with psychological and physiological problems

A timely medical examination, somatic and psychotherapeutic treatment, giving up bad habits, taking medications to stimulate male strength will help to avoid an unwanted decrease in sexual potency and restore men's health.
