Erectile dysfunction is considered one of the urgent problems faced by men over 35 years old.
According to statistical studies and the results of sociological surveys, it was found that more than 30% of men suffer from full or partial heartburn. However, only 5% of men turn to specialists for such a delicate problem for help. In most cases, men who experience problems during intercourse try to solve the problem themselves by taking drugs to increase erection, which are not able to eliminate the cause of potency, but only stimulate sexual arousal during intercourse.
Such "treatment" methods lead to a deterioration of the main cause of potency, as a result of which a number of complications can occur in the form of a complete lack of potency, infertility and other health problems that will not allow a man tolive a full sex life.
There are a large number of reasons that do not allow a man to have sexual intercourse, all of them are capable of developing at a physiological, psychological or pathological level.
The main causes of potency
Erectile dysfunction is nothing more than a reflection of a man's physical or psychological condition. The whole organism is involved in the process of sexual arousal. The brain is considered responsible for the process, which transmits impulses throughout the body, as a result of which the blood circulation in the pelvic organs increases and the erection increases. Often the cause of power is cumulative causes that combine several problems.
Power problems can be caused by the following negative factors:
- Psychogenic.
- Neurogenic.
- Hormonal.
- Vascular;
- Taking medications;
- External factors.
Given the individuality of each male body, other factors may be the cause of potency, but regardless of the cause, it must be identified and eliminated, this will help the man restore sexual arousal and strengthen the erection.
Psychogenic causes of potency
The following psychological factors can cause problems with potency:
- problems, failures at work or in the family;
- stress, depression, neurosis, a feeling of fear;
- low self-esteem;
- asthenoneurotic syndrome;
- childhood psychological trauma;
- first unsuccessful sexual relations;
- problems in relations with the partner, lack of love, trust and misunderstanding.
Neurogenic causes
The neurogenic factors that contribute to the decrease in strength or its complete absence lie in the breakdown of the brain and the peripheral system, which are responsible for the functioning of the entire organism:
- congenital abnormalities in the structure of the lower back;
- anomalies in the development of the central nervous system;
- infectious processes in the spinal cord;
- degenerative changes in the central nervous system;
- autoimmune diseases of an infectious or non-infectious course.
Primary or secondary problems of the central and peripheral nervous system can completely provoke a lack of erection. Such pathologies develop as a result of injuries, tumor-like neoplasms, develop after surgery.
Hormonal disorders
Hormonal imbalance in a man's body can provoke erectile dysfunction. Such pathological processes can develop with a decrease in the production of testosterone (male sex hormone), diseases of the endocrine glands or metabolic disorders in the body:
- diabetes;
- hyperprolactinemia;
- thyroid pathology.
Hormonal imbalance in the body can lead to infertility.
Vascular disorders
Violation of blood circulation, vascular changes in 60% of cases provoke erectile dysfunction. Pathological processes can be congenital or acquired and develop as complications after many diseases:
- vascular hypoplasia;
- injuries, fractures of the pelvic bones;
- perineal injury;
- damage to the urethra;
- atherosclerosis;
- hypertension;
- varicose veins, thrombophlebitis;
In addition to the above reasons that contribute to the development of impotence, there are other diseases or pathologies in which blood circulation is disturbed.
Taking powerful drugs:
Pharmacological drugs are considered one of the reasons for the decrease in potency in men. There are a number of drugs that cause potency:
- psychotropic drugs;
- antihypertensive agents;
- anticancer drugs (cytostatics);
- hormonal drugs, which contain female sex hormones.
External factors
Very often, a violation of sexual activity manifests against the background of other factors that negatively affect a man's body:
- intoxication of the body with chemical or toxic substances at work;
- climatic conditions;
- inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs;
- alcohol abuse;
- smoking;
- taking drugs.
- poor quality food;
- lack of compatibility.
How to help a man?
To help a man solve problems with potency, it is necessary to identify the cause that provoked the violation. If the reason lies in the psychological state of a man's health, then you should consult a psychologist or a sexual partner who can support a person and help him overcome difficulties.
If the reason lies in the man's state of health and the presence of accompanying diseases in the anamnesis, then the help of a medical specialist is necessary. It is possible to improve potency, get rid of complexes only if the source of the disease, which negatively affects the male genitourinary system, is eliminated.
Based on this article, it can be noted that there are a large number of reasons that negatively affect male power. But, as you know, erectile dysfunction in 93% of cases manifests against the background of accompanying disorders in the body, therefore, before restoring power, the cause must be eliminated.
