Potency problems are believed to start at the age of 40 due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men this age have already served as fathers, specialists, and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. However, from the age of 40 the natural aging process of man begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men, it is at the age of forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But rape or even complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a sentence for impotence. You just need to find the causes of the violations and take serious care of his own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that potency after the age of 40 in men deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, i. e. an erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
But the modern way of life and the negative impact of external factors have a negative effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not produced as actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, there are several factors that affect the potency of a man. The main causes of impotence in men from the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medication, which is done by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect the potency of men. It is also harmful to mindlessly take medications for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- The absence of a regular sexual life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, this causes a disruption in the work of blood circulation, the functions of the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Due to them, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you will understand, this does not bring anything good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a trigger for hormonal imbalances. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the first signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer fatty junk food. In some cases, it is enough to normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits to restore the former quality of the erection.
Which indicates the development of impotence.
As you can see, a variety of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or treat them in the early stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function.
But not always men pay due attention to their own health. Only relevant signs indicating the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can push them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. That is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency decreases even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of complete erection. When he is excited, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not hard enough. This condition is observed throughout the sexual intercourse;
- An erection occurs unstable, at certain times it can significantly weaken, but then it returns to its previous level again;
- The man cannot have sexual intercourse. Although arousal is present, an erection is not yet produced;
- It takes a long time to raise a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a matter of seconds. If there are signs of impotence development, the erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and arousal is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure when having sex. Often men after 40 complain of lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes of a purely psychological nature, but is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive in believing that potency gains in men after 40 are impossible. This is a serious error. 40 years is a completely normal age when erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex begins to bring pleasure again, and there are no difficulties with the arousal process.
Impotence, that is, complete loss of erectile function, at age 40 is a rarity. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the power won't really come back.

Another important tip. At forty, do not rush to resort to taking potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when the potency begins to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 years is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist will tell after the examination. In no case should you start taking any medication without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before visiting a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful foods reduce potency, while healthy and healthy foods normalize it. So, to maintain and improve potency, erectile function, you need to eat right;
- Play sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). For power, jogging, swimming, and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are helpful;
- Regular exercise for power. There are a number of exercise sets specifically designed to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting with a specialist;
- Categorically abandon bad habits. Everyone knows about its detrimental effect on male potency;
- Somehow diversify your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, about the use of toys. A man needs to increase interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly with a psychologist if potency problems have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and attention to the problems of his own health. There are also factors beyond the control of men, most of which modern medicine helps to cope with.
