Male potency consists of the sufficient tension of the penis and the erection necessary to perform a complete sexual act. The main role in this is played by the amount of testosterone hormone in the body. Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testicles, and the less it is produced, the weaker the erection.
The production of testosterone in the male body can be promoted if we know the reasons for the decrease or increase in production. They can be physiological and psychological.
The man's age is an important factor, since the causes of impotence in healthy men under the age of 35-40 are more likely to be linked to psychological limitations. In men over 40, such dysfunctions are often the result of hormonal insufficiency or various diseases.
The reasons for the decrease in testosterone levels in a man's body can be as follows:
- damage to the intervertebral discs
- spinal myelodysplasia
- peripheral toxic neuropathies,
- Parkinson's disease,
- multiple sclerosis,
- overweight,
- chronic stress, depression,
- alcoholism and drug use,
- taking sedatives and antidepressants, anabolic steroids,
- post-traumatic and postoperative consequences.
Men who have ureaplasmosis and other mycoplasmas in their bodies are also at risk of a gradual decline in male potency if left untreated. Endocrine causes can be diseases of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland. Diagnoses such as hypogonadism, prolactinoma, and sarcoidosis not only affect erectile function, but also reduce sexual desire.
In addition, men's fear of sexual impotence, as well as lack of self-confidence and relationship problems with their partners, seriously affect potency.
To determine the exact causes of insufficient potency, you should contact an andrologist. And following his instructions to restore the lost virility. In addition to drug treatment and procedures within the walls of the clinic, you can also independently strengthen potency at home.
