Male potency consists in sufficiently tensing the penis and achieving an erection to perform a full-fledged sexual act. The main role is played by the amount of the hormone testosterone in the body. Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testicles, and the less of it produced, the weaker the erection.
It is possible to boost the production of testosterone in a man's body by knowing the reasons why its production is decreasing or increasing. They can be physiological and psychological.
The man's age is an important factor because in healthy men under 35-40 years the causes of impotence may be even more related to psychological barriers. In men over 40, such dysfunctions are often the result of hormonal failure or various diseases.
The reasons for the decrease in the level of testosterone in a man's body can be:
- Damage to the intervertebral discs
- Spinal myelodysplasia
- peripheral toxic neuropathies,
- Parkinson's disease,
- Multiple sclerosis,
- overweight,
- chronic stress, depression,
- alcohol and drug abuse,
- Taking tranquilizers and antidepressants, steroid anabolic steroids,
- post-traumatic and postoperative consequences.
Men who have an infection with ureaplasmosis and other mycoplasmas in the body also risk a gradual decrease in male strength without treatment. Endocrine causes can be diseases of the thyroid and pituitary glands. Diagnoses such as hypogonadism, prolactinoma and sarcoidosis not only impair erectile function but also reduce sexual desire.
In addition, a man's fear of sexual impotence, as well as self-doubt and problems in relationships with a partner, significantly affects potency.
To determine the exact causes of insufficient potency, it is necessary to consult an andrologist. And to follow his instructions to restore lost masculine power. In addition to drug treatments and interventions within the walls of the clinic, you can also independently strengthen potency at home.
