At any age, there may be questions about increasing male potency, as any changes in a person’s lifestyle and condition are reflected in this area. Normal male strength is a prerequisite for self-confidence and high self-esteem, plus evidence of physical health. For these reasons, doctors and ordinary people are paying so much attention to potential.
What problems might be in this area, how to improve which professionals to contact - knowing this information will allow you to remain an excellent lover for many years and not lose your vigor and passion.
What is this
In medicine, potency refers to a man's ability to have sex, meaning that the term refers to the ability to continue a normal sex life. It should be noted that the excessive rhythm and frequency of sexual activity does not indicate sexual health, as in certain abnormalities and diseases, sexual activity increases sharply, which is by no means normal. To evaluate male strength, experts pay attention to the following parameters:
- penis tension (hardness) - should be sufficient for insertion into a partner's genitals;
- the speed of an erection that occurs for reflex reasons (touching the body, genitals) or psychogenic reasons (for sex, imagination, viewing a sexual object, characteristic moans, and other sounds);
- duration of intercourse (average 5, 4 minutes, but can vary greatly in each case);
- is the normal flow of the plot.
Penis characteristics during erection
The excited state member changes outward. Based on these external parameters and characteristics, we can estimate the libido approximately. The main parameters that doctors monitor are:
- Increase the length. As a general rule, in owners of longer penises, the increase in length during an erection is smaller compared to the resting state, but this difference is very noticeable in a small organ.
- Refractive period.Usually this is the shortest time between orgasm and the nearest erection. The time it takes to recover is sometimes very different, even for the same person. This period can be calculated in minutes or even hours. The older a person is, the longer the break time will be.
- Lifting angle.This is the difference between a non-standing position and an erection, measured in degrees. The maximum increase is observed at an average of 20 years, then becomes slightly smaller, and decreases significantly after 50. There is another addiction: the height angle of owners of the thick and large penis is smaller than that of men with small penis because the weight of the organ itself prevents it from rising high.
- Stamina.This is the interval between the onset of arousal and ejaculation. Simply put, this is the time when a man can have sex before ejaculation. Endurance increases when the same center of the brain is constantly stimulated, so having sex with the same partner leads to an increase in endurance.
- Flexibility.This parameter is measurable. To do this, doctors determine how many grams of arousal mass will be needed to overcome the resistance of the penis and force it into a position that is typical of a non-rigid condition. A magnetodynamic index of internal pressure is also used. The normal value of elasticity exceeds 50 units.
- Increase the circle.To determine this parameter, measure the volume difference at the base and rim level.
Normal
The term "erection" means "hard, " "erect. "The member should be just enough to easily penetrate the vagina. Let’s not forget that the ease of penetration also depends on the condition of the vagina: how hydrated it is and what anatomical parameters it has.
Anatomy of excitement
There are three longitudinal bodies in the structure of the penis that can be filled with blood. These bodies have many forces that carry blood to the organ. Two of them are called cavernous bodies - the elasticity and hardness of the penis depends on the degree of their saturation. The third structure - the spongy body surrounds the urethra, and although it is also filled with blood, but not as much as the cavernous bodies.
For the blood to accumulate in these structures in the required amount, the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system is required. Blood is constantly rushing through the arteries to the genitals, but the volume of flow increases significantly with excitement. The pressure inside the corpora cavernosa during an erection will be about 26 times higher than at rest. The increased pressure puts pressure on the outflowing veins and narrows the outflow pathways.
Another important condition for normal potency is the proper functioning of the nervous system. The brain and spinal cord lead to increased blood supply to the corpus cavernosum and further ejaculation. If the nerves are constricted or atrophic, these processes usually do not continue. Doctors distinguish the following algorithm for sexual contact with men of normal potential:
- feeling of sexual desire;
- foreplay (five minutes on average);
- lasting erection;
- insertion of the penis into the partner's genitals;
- friction for a few minutes;
- Ejaculation and orgasm.
Maximum and minimum
Even a healthy person can have recessions or peaks in sexual energy, and these conditions are often interchangeable throughout their lives. The maximum can be observed under the following conditions:
- psychological comfort;
- emotional excitement;
- rest time (such as vacation);
- new partner;
- among the good news;
- after winning a conflict, race or fight.
Natural decrease in libido is possible:
- psychological conflicts;
- excessive physical exertion;
- a passion for something;
- is overwhelmed with things and a lot of trouble;
- partner coldness.
After prolonged abstinence, libido may fade, which recovers over time with the return of periodic sex.
Violations
Doctors refer to various violations of potency as "erectile dysfunction. "This concept means that a man is unable to have a normal sex life. Problems can be related to the excitement or physiological functions of the penis. Sometimes the penis is reduced so much that sexual intercourse becomes impossible. There may also be problems with ejaculation: premature ejaculation, pain and discomfort at this moment. The most severe stage of erectile dysfunction is impotence.
A one-off failure in sex is not an offense: you need to understand that the human body is not automatic. Just as it is not always possible to fall asleep normally, various episodes and one-time interruptions can occur during sexual activity. But if the failures are repeated more than four times in a row, we can conclude that the causes need to be sought and acted upon urgently.
Causes
Decreased sexual activity can be caused by two reasons:
- psychogenic- 4-5 times more common in young people under 40 than in older men; Organic
- - various diseases and disorders in the body system, more sensitive to the older generation.
Psychogenic
Such problems are related to a person's mental state. As a general rule, when faced with this phenomenon, one becomes even more anxious, so the situation quickly gets worse. Doctors recommend a psychological reduction in potency in patients with the following symptoms:
- sudden crashes;
- permanent night or morning erection;
- the possibility of successful masturbation;
- appearance and decrease of arousal during sexual experiments;
- developing a permanent erection if we know for sure that sexual intercourse cannot continue;
- Selectivity of violations - only with a specific partner or in specific situations.
The combination of these signs indicates that the problems are psychological in nature and can be eliminated with psychotherapy. This group does not include perversions, disorders of severe mental illness - these are not mental but psychiatric factors and are dealt with by other professionals. All psychogenic problems can be divided as follows:
- Position.An example of this is the lack of privacy conditions with the partner, the possibility of someone suddenly entering the room, fearing that the partner will become pregnant, persistent abstinence.
- Traumatic.It appears as a result of memories of sexual failure, partner’s sexual dissatisfaction, fear of ridicule or rejection, fear of losing an erection.
- Partnership issues. These include frequent conflicts, poor relationships between partners, coldness, aggression, preferences, and differences in the limits allowed in sex.
- Personal.It is typical of typical people, especially when they have low self-esteem, attitudes toward maximum partner satisfaction, too strict upbringing and fear of intimacy with love, a sense of guilt for bodily pleasure.
Most of these problems are combined. A person’s sexual makeup is also of paramount importance. If it is initially smaller than average, the mental impact from the outside is worth more. The main difficulty is that in the case of psychogenic dysfunction, it is very difficult for a person to turn to a specialist to diagnose and improve the quality of sex because of shame and fear of ridicule.
Physiological
Such violations can be identified based on the following criteria:
- gradual development and worsening of the situation;
- lack of night and morning erections;
- problems persist when masturbating.
In these situations, you should undergo a full investigation and identify the cause. Key organic factors:
- Cardiovascular disorders. They disrupt the blood supply to the penis, disrupting the outflow of venous blood. Such abnormalities are caused by myocardial infarction, inflammation of blood vessels, atherosclerosis.
- Injuries of pelvic organs or congenital vascular pathologies, consequences of surgical interventions.
- Nervous system failure. Doctors often find the cause of stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord failure.
- Respiratory disorders. This can be lung obstruction or apnea.
- Systemic disorders such as liver damage, metabolic disorders, soft tissue diseases
- Diseases of the regulatory system and hormonal disorders. For example, thyroid failure can cause a sharp decrease in libido.
- Consequences of taking certain medications - psychotropic medications, antihypertensive or allergic medications, hormones.
Miscellaneous
In this case, both psychogenic and physiological factors are together while only exacerbating each other.
Risk Factors
A number of predisposing factors increase the risk of worsening in the area of sex. They are related to lifestyle, genetics and other conditions. The most common are
- chromosomal abnormalities affecting the development of the urogenital system;
- violation of insulin metabolism;
- overweight and sedentary;
- smoking and alcohol consumption;
- Sports with a high risk of spinal injury.
Another risk factor is neglect of health status.
Which doctor to go to
WARNING!If you need to improve your libido, you need to contact specialized professionals who will be able to competently help a man. Such issues are primarily addressed by urologists and andrologists. A cramped professional will listen to the complaints and conduct the first investigation during the appointment. Sometimes additional tests are needed, which the doctor will tell the patient about.
If a professional deems it necessary, he or she will refer the person for further consultation with a psychotherapist, psychologist, cardiologist, neurologist, or other close professional.
Management
You don't have to hope the problem goes away on its own. Procrastination threatens to leave sex only in memories as time is wasted.
The following treatments are used to improve the quality of sex:
- medicated;
- vacuum therapy;
- massage;
- gym therapy;
- operation;
- shock wave therapy;
- psychotherapy;
- prostheses.
Medication
Potency can be increased with the help of various drugs. The development of such drugs en masse began in the second half of the 20th century. Today, such tools can be used to improve penile circulation if other diseases are not identified or are successfully eradicated. What medications are prescribed:
- Retardants for PDE5. These are very effective drugs.
- Preparations based on herbal ingredients. Herbal remedies to improve male fitness have been used for many centuries and are now used to make specialty medicines. Often include ginseng, dill, St. John's wort, Dubrovnik, eurycoma long-leafed, creeping tribulus.
- Injections to relax smooth muscle fibers.
- Synthetic hormones to replace natural testosterone.
Many medications in this line are temporary and have side effects. The selection of these drugs should be made by a physician who is able to consider all the nuances and consequences of the intake for the body.
Vacuum therapy
Special devices are used for such therapy, which work on the principle of the pump. With their help, blood is passively pumped into the penis and stored there using compression rings.
There is no long-term preservation of results with this type of treatment, so it is used on a situational basis. This can trigger the excitement for a one-time sex, but you will need to re-use the vacuum pump to reassemble.
Massage
To achieve the effect, massage courses are performed in the pelvic region or pubic area. This has a positive effect on the work of the blood vessels, and repeated courses have a good effect on the excitement process. If there are no serious illnesses among the causes of erectile dysfunction, massage in combination with other methods will give excellent results. Many patients can perform self-massage at home after consulting a massage therapist who will teach them the right techniques.
gym therapy
This method is good because it allows you to achieve the effect without medication. With exercise, intense training takes place in the muscles of the perineum. This eliminates muscle stagnation, especially in a sedentary lifestyle, which improves the function of the vessels in the pelvis. In parallel, the muscles around the penis and scrotum are strengthened. All this has a beneficial effect on the quality of sex.
Shockwave therapy
A new type of potency enhancement based on the fact that acoustic waves can make the vessel wall more flexible. Improvement occurs only after 1-2 sessions. The use of shock wave therapy has a lasting effect when used in a course. Sometimes this technique allows you to leave drugs and other medications and in some cases eliminates the need for surgery. Another advantage is the lack of contraindications.
Methods of operation
If other methods do not work, they may seek surgical treatment. Vascular operations are performed that make the venous outflow less intense. The aim of the second type of operations is a more active flow of arterial blood into the corpus cavernosum. The main disadvantage is the rapid disappearance of the effect, as the positive consequences of the operation usually last up to a few years.
Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is performed to remove all the blocks that interfere with the normal sex life of a physically healthy person. For this type of restoration of potency, mutual understanding with the psychologist is very important. Sometimes the sessions are held with a partner. This type of therapy often solves the problem without medications, pills, and radical treatment.
Prosthetics
If none of the above methods help, prosthetics are used. An implant is placed in the phallus. The design and the degree of complexity are selected individually depending on the situation. Dentures allow you to continue an active sex life for many years to come. These products are generally similar to pumps that pump blood into cave bodies after pressing a button, although there are many different models that differ in their functionality and cost.
How to improve at home
Any man who does not have a disease that affects his erection can improve his potency, even at home. There are a number of methods that have been tested from time to time, as they have been used by several generations.
Lifestyle change
Masculine power is highly dependent on a person’s lifestyle. To feel an improvement in this area, you need to start with such changes: quitting smoking, not abusing alcohol, and exercising systematically.
It is important to seek the help of doctors in a timely manner so that diseases do not worsen and become chronic because everything in the body is interconnected and even a banal cough if left untreated can eventually lead to sexual failure.
Traditional methods
Traditional methods are simple and effective ways to increase efficiency. Many of them have already been approved by official medicine, but you need to remember that your body has a unique reaction to different ingredients, so when you combine many tools, the result is difficult to calculate. Herbs such as chamomile, St. John’s wort, parsnips, dill and parsley, aloe, yarrow and creeping anchor have long been used to improve male strength at home. From a large list of herbs, you can choose the ones that will help solve your problem:
- to improve sperm quality - chamomile tea at night;
- to improve desire - eleutherococcus, ginseng, lemongrass, rhododendron, blue cyanosis roots;
- to prevent failure and increased anxiety - valerian roots, hop cones, mustard seeds, nettles, which have a calming effect and relieve blood flow in the pool area;
- from premature ejaculation - licorice, thyme, juniper berries, field horseradish, persimmons;
- to increase libido - black currant leaves, rosehips, plantain leaves, creeping anchor, yarrow.
All of these herbs help increase sexual activity, but keep in mind that they should be consumed separately or combined correctly.
Medications
Certain, pronounced, and fast-acting drugs are now available online. Medicines can be prepared in the following forms:
- drops;
- tablets;
- capsules;
- powders.
Some of them work quickly, so they are consumed just before intercourse. The instructions for each of these medicines indicate how many tablets or powders to take in order to be fully prepared at the right time. Other drugs are taken for several months to correct sexual function, their effectiveness is milder but lasts longer.
There are currently several versions of such drugs:
- medications to restore sexual function;
- Men's strength accessories;
- aphrodisiacs to increase attraction.
The first group is medications, so it is better to consult a doctor before use. The second, a natural remedy based on natural ingredients, has minimal side effects and is suitable for many people. The third group - special tools that help set the right mood and prepare for sexual activity.
The main rule:You should only buy such medicines at controlled locations where certificates and other documents are placed to confirm that the medicine is not a counterfeit. It is important to review the instructions and make sure there are no contraindications so as not to harm your health.
Special food
Diet is very important for the positive effect of efficiency at home. Even urologists and andrologists recognize that properly selected foods can improve. This method is based on the fact that certain foods help to increase the levels of male hormones. First, you need to remember a proven method - consuming enough food with spices. Ginger, red and black pepper, cloves, garlic and other spices have played a role in aphrodisiacs for many centuries, which have been successfully used by the best lovers of ancient civilizations.
Products that have a beneficial effect on the sexual sphere: nuts, sour milk drinks, pumpkin, spinach, asparagus, pomegranate and figs. Another point in a man’s proper diet is the right amount of protein. Seafood, fish, beef, cottage cheese - everything should often appear on the table. Regular use of a kefir and banana cocktail or freshly squeezed carrot juice is also great, and a glass of warm water with dissolved honey drunk an hour before sex prolongs sexual intercourse.
It should be noted that overeating has a very bad effect on potency even in healthy people. After a meal, the body is no longer at birth, busy digesting food, and obesity reduces stamina and male strength, so being overweight should be ruled out.
Sedatives
Men who live under constant stress and anxiety can use sedatives to affect sexual performance at home. Such funds help to become more stable and calmer, which will have a positive effect on sexual functioning.
Doctors believe that potency does not decrease with age. It is very possible for you to live to old age and remain an active lover if you take care of your health and use the methods available to maintain sexual activity.
In summary
In order to maintain sexual activity for many decades and not fail in this area, you should take the advice of urologists and andrologists. These experts see two main negative factors:
- lack of knowledge of the principles of anatomy and normal functioning of the reproductive system;
- irresponsible attitude to their health.
Due to the fact that men are not very interested in the arrangement of the genitals and what diseases can occur in this area, there is a huge number of myths and silly and sometimes dangerous methods of activating sexual activity. In addition, any failure will be too global in the eyes of men, mistakenly extending it to their entire future lives, and thus only adding extra weight.
The second point is the neglect of reproductive health. Unlike women who regularly undergo examinations and understand the colossal consequences of genital disease, the average person does not seek help even when the first or clear signs of pathology appear.
If you understand these moments as soon as possible, consult with professionals, and use all sorts of harmless medications designed to correct male strength, you can remain an excellent lover until you are respectable.
