Throughout human history, men have taken pride in their physical, mental and sexual strength. However, the rapid progress observed over the past few decades has brought both 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 only 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 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 that are transmitted during sexual contacts.
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 turns on. 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 sex drive. This can easily be explained by the fact that fat suppresses male hormones and stimulates the production of female ones. Excess weight creates an increased 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 on potency exerted by alcohol-containing drinks should not be underestimated. It is known that alcohol primarily affects the liver. How can the liver be connected with male potency? In reality the connection is quite strong. Alcohol disrupts the normal functioning of the liver, because of 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 impairs 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, as well as alcohol, have a negative effect on the spinal cord, which also reduces potency and leads to ejaculation disorders, i. e. it may be too 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 sexual hormones and the development of impotence. Even those drugs that are usually classified as "light" (marijuana, etc. ) disrupt hormonal levels, suppressing the production of testosterone. Taking drugs for a long time contributes to the development of depression. And it is already a psychological obstacle to a normal sex life. And the more often a person is depressed, the less he thinks about sexual contacts, which as a result also negatively affects male potency.
Low-quality proteins and various kinds 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, i. e. female hormone. Men who regularly take such low-quality cocktails may experience increased 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 lead to various hormonal disruptions, due to which potency may be impaired.
What diseases reduce potency?
Diseases of a very different nature can lead to 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 diseases, injuries and tumors. An endocrinologist diagnoses such diseases. To treat such diseases, hormonal drugs are usually used.You can begin a course of 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. 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;
- neuroses;
- dissatisfaction with yourself or your partner;
- general malaise.
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 drugs include various hormonal pills, for example, female hormones, which are often used in the treatment of cancer. Potency is also negatively affected by any drugs that lead to brain depression (antidepressants, narcotic substances, alcoholic drinks).
Even those pills that people consider absolutely harmless (diuretics, drugs to reduce acidity, etc. ) can provoke potency disorders. Therefore, in order to avoid negative consequences, before using any medications you need to carefully study the instructions, consult a doctor and strictly follow his recommendations.
The doctor will be able to assess the ratio of benefits and side effects of a particular drug and, if necessary, select an analogue that will 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 power. First of all, these are healthy and high-quality food products. However, it is important to know that not all food has a positive effect on the reproductive system.
First of all, you need to give up foods that contain animal fat. Carbohydrate consumption should also be kept to a minimum.
This especially applies to bachelors, whose diet consists mainly 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 keep your potency as long as possible, you need to 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 potency is seafood. They contain unsaturated fatty acids and various beneficial microelements, which are the "building material" for 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 a man's potency.
Substances that enhance male potency are found in many products, but it is best to work out a proper diet with your doctor whenever possible. Be healthy!
