Throughout human history, men have taken pride in their physical, mental, and sexual strength. However, the rapid progress seen in recent decades has brought both positive and negative aspects to the lives of men. 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 the opposite sex and a number of other factors that are important for normal sexual life. It has been shown that it is not only age that negatively affects male potency. And you should start worrying about this long before you retire. To do this, you must first know what affects male sexual power.
The main factors that have a negative impact on potency.
Age-related changes that occur in the body greatly affect a man's potency. However, age is far from the only thing that affects potency. First of all, this is temperament, which depends on innate qualities. A man's relationship with his partner has a great influence on potency. Various doping agents, such as drugs, alcohol, steroids, etc. , are very harmful and, of course, potency in men is weakened by various diseases, not only those transmitted during sexual relations.
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 ignites. In most cases, male lust prevails over tenderness, which makes you forget about caresses altogether. In addition to 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 ones. Excess weight creates a greater load on the cardiovascular system, which directly affects the quality of sexual life in general and erection 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 that alcohol-containing beverages have on potency should not be underestimated. It is known that alcohol mainly affects the liver. How can the liver be related to male potency? The connection is actually quite strong. Alcohol disrupts the normal functioning of the liver, due to this 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 affects male potency. In addition, alcohol has an extremely negative effect on the sensory centers of the spinal cord, which are also associated with erection and ejaculation.
Various drugs, in addition to alcohol, have a negative effect on the spinal cord, which also reduces potency and causes ejaculation disorders, that is, it may be too rapid 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, causing a disruption in the production of male sex hormones and the development of impotence. Even those drugs that are usually classified as "light" (marijuana, etc. ) alter hormonal levels, suppressing testosterone production. Taking drugs for a long time contributes to the development of depression. And this is already a psychological obstacle to a normal sexual life. And the more often a person is depressed, the less he thinks about sexual relations, which as a result also negatively affects male potency.
Low-quality proteins and various types of steroids have a negative effect on potency. People who participate in strength sports often use protein supplements and steroids to accelerate muscle growth. Most of the existing proteins are harmless to the body. However, there are low-quality soy counterfeits on the market. As you know, it contains phytoestrogens, a plant analogue of estrogen, i. e. female hormone. Men who regularly drink low-quality cocktails may experience elevated levels of female hormones. They will suppress sex hormones in a man, which will definitely lead to a decrease in libido and a deterioration in potency. Steroids also cause various hormonal alterations, so potency can be affected.
What diseases reduce potency?
Diseases of very different nature can cause a weakening of male potency. First of all, these are various endocrine diseases in which alterations in the synthesis of sex hormones are observed. This can be caused by genetic disorders, chronic diseases, injuries and tumors. An endocrinologist diagnoses such diseases. To treat such diseases, hormonal drugs are usually used.You can begin treatment only as prescribed by a doctor; Self-medication here is unacceptable, becauseThis can only make the problem even worse.
Diseases of the spinal cord, brain and various neurological disorders cause a decrease in male potency. Such ailments include:
- epilepsy;
- injuries of 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;
- neurosis;
- dissatisfaction with himself or his partner;
- general discomfort.
Various infectious and other diseases often lead to a decrease in potency:
- coli;
- chlamydia;
- syphilis;
- staphylococcus;
- fungal infections;
- gonorrhea.
The effect of medications on potency.
Some medications can cause sexual dysfunction and reduce potency. These medications include various hormonal pills, for example female hormones, which are often used in cancer treatment. Potency is also negatively affected by any drugs that cause brain depression (antidepressants, narcotic substances, alcoholic beverages).
Even those pills that people consider absolutely harmless (diuretics, drugs to reduce acidity, etc. ) can cause potency disorders. Therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences, before using any medication it is necessary to carefully study the instructions, consult a doctor and strictly follow his recommendations.
The doctor will be able to evaluate the ratio of benefits and side effects of a particular drug 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. First of all, these are high-quality and healthy 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 reduced to a minimum.
This especially applies to singles, whose diet consists mainly of sandwiches, pasta, mayonnaise and sauces. Excess animal fats can lead to the development of atherosclerosis and impotence.
To improve potency, you should include common foods such as carrots, a variety of vegetables, garlic, cabbage, onion, etc. in your regular diet. To maintain its potency as long as possible, you must consume a sufficient amount of vitamin C. It is found in black currants, lettuce, pepper, 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. It 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 improve male potency are found in many products, but whenever possible it is better to develop an appropriate diet with your doctor. Be healthy!
