Throughout human history, men have prided themselves on their physical, mental and sexual strength. However, the rapid progress observed in recent decades has brought positive and negative aspects to men's lives. Environmental degradation, decreased food quality, sedentary work, obesity, bad habits and new diseases - all this negatively affects male potency. The concept of "potency" includes not only erection, but also the duration and quality of sexual contact, attraction to representatives of the opposite sex and a number of other factors that are important for normal sexual life. It has been proven that it is not just age that negatively affects male potency. And you need to start worrying about this long before you retire. To do this, you must first of all know what affects male sexual power.
The main factors that have a negative impact on potency
Age-related changes occurring in the body greatly affect a man's potency. However, age is far from the only thing that affects potency. First of all, this concerns temperament, which depends on innate qualities. A man's relationship with his partner has a great influence on potency. Various doping agents are very harmful, such as drugs, alcohol, steroids, etc. . And, of course, potency in men is weakened by various diseases, not only those that are transmitted during sexual contact.
The degree of influence on the potency of a man's relationship with a woman cannot be underestimated. For some men, just before the moment of sexual intimacy, animal desire is activated. In most cases, male lust prevails over tenderness, which makes you completely forget about caresses. Along with this, many women really enjoy foreplay. And it is important to achieve harmony with your partner. The degree of its influence on potency cannot be underestimated.
Male potency is directly related to obesity. An overweight man has a decreased sexual desire. This can be easily explained by the fact that fat suppresses male hormones and stimulates the production of female hormones. Excess weight increases the load on the cardiovascular system, which directly affects the quality of sexual life in general and erections in particular. In addition to affecting potency, obesity leads to the development of many other diseases and generally worsens the quality of life.
The degree of influence on potency exerted by drinks containing alcohol should not be underestimated. It is known that alcohol mainly affects the liver. How can the liver be related to male potency? In reality the connection is quite strong. Alcohol disrupts the normal functioning of the liver, as a result of which the level of testosterone in the body decreases, and in the case of regular abuse of alcoholic beverages, various disorders of the reproductive system gradually develop, which significantly impair male potency. Furthermore, alcohol has an extremely negative effect on the sensory centers of the spinal cord, which are also associated with erection and ejaculation.
Various drugs, as well as alcohol, have a negative effect on the spinal cord, which also reduces potency and leads to ejaculation disorders, that is, it can be very fast or not occur at all. The most common disease among drug addicts is not AIDS, as many believe, but hepatitis C. This disease has an extremely negative effect on the liver, leading to disruption of the production of male sex hormones and the development of impotence. Even those drugs normally classified as "light" (marijuana, etc. ) disrupt hormonal levels, suppressing testosterone production. Prolonged use of medications contributes to the development of depression. And it is already a psychological obstacle to a normal sex life. And the more a person becomes depressed, the less he thinks about sexual contacts, which, as a result, also negatively affects male potency.
Low-quality proteins and various types of steroids have a negative effect on potency. People involved in strength sports often use protein supplements and steroids to accelerate muscle growth. Most existing proteins are harmless to the body. However, there are low-quality soybean counterfeits on the market. As is known, its composition includes phytoestrogen - this is a plant analogue of estrogen, that is, female hormone. Men who regularly drink these low-quality cocktails may experience increased levels of female hormones. They will suppress sex hormones in men, which will certainly lead to a decrease in libido and a deterioration in potency. Steroids also lead to various hormonal disorders, due to which potency may be impaired.
What diseases reduce potency?
Diseases of a very different nature can lead to a weakening of male potency. First of all, these are various endocrine diseases in which disturbances in the synthesis of sex hormones are observed. This can be caused by genetic disorders, chronic illnesses, injuries and tumors. An endocrinologist diagnoses these diseases. To treat these diseases, hormonal medications are usually used. You can start treatment only as prescribed by a doctor; self-medication is unacceptable here, becauseThis can only make the problem even worse.
Diseases of the spinal cord, brain and various neurological disorders lead to a decrease in male potency. These diseases include:
- epilepsy;
- injuries to the perineum and pelvis, including postoperative ones;
- chronic and autoimmune diseases;
- circulatory disorders;
- Parkinson's disease.
In young men, potency disorders can develop against the background of various psychological problems, such as:
- prolonged depression and constant stress;
- chronic fatigue;
- neuroses;
- dissatisfaction with yourself or your partner;
- general malaise.
Various infectious and other diseases often lead to a decrease in potency:
- coli;
- chlamydia;
- syphilis;
- staphylococci;
- fungal infections;
- gonorrhea.
The effect of medicines on potency
Some medications can cause sexual dysfunction and reduce potency. These medicines include various hormonal pills, for example female hormones, which are often used in the treatment of cancer. Potency is also negatively affected by any medications that lead to cerebral depression (antidepressants, narcotic substances, alcoholic beverages).
Even those pills that people consider absolutely harmless (diuretics, drugs to reduce acidity, etc. ) can provoke potency disorders. Therefore, to avoid negative consequences, before using any medication, you must carefully study the instructions, consult a doctor and strictly follow his recommendations.
The doctor will be able to evaluate the relationship between benefits and side effects of a particular medication and, if necessary, select an analogue that does not affect reproductive function.
What foods affect potency?
In addition to negative factors, there are many substances that have a positive effect on male sexual potency. Firstly, these are healthy, high-quality food products. However, it is important to know that not all foods have a positive effect on the reproductive system.
First of all, it is necessary to abandon foods containing animal fat. Carbohydrate consumption should also be kept to a minimum.
This especially applies to single people, whose diet mainly consists of sandwiches, pasta, mayonnaise and sauces. Excess animal fats can provoke the development of atherosclerosis and impotence.
To improve potency, you need to include in your regular diet such familiar foods as carrots, a variety of greens, garlic, cabbage, onions, etc. To maintain your potency as long as possible, you need to consume a sufficient amount of vitamin C. It is found in black currants, lettuce, peppers, spinach, rose hips and other products.
With a lack of this vitamin, your health will deteriorate, diseases of the cardiovascular system may develop, which will inevitably lead to a decrease in the quality of sexual life.
One of the main allies of strong power is seafood. They contain unsaturated fatty acids and various beneficial microelements, which are the "building material" of sex hormones. Oysters, which contain zinc, iodine and selenium, are especially revered.
Since ancient times, nuts, seeds of various oilseeds and vegetable oils themselves have been actively used to strengthen male power. These products contain vitamin E. Normalizes muscle function, reduces fatigue and prevents the development of weakness. This substance has a beneficial effect on the function of the gonads, thyroid gland and pituitary gland. Vitamin E is found in meat and fish, legumes and various vegetables.
Coffee, natural chocolate and cocoa have a positive effect on male potency.
Substances that increase male potency are found in many products, but it is best to work out a suitable diet with your doctor whenever possible. Be healthy!
