Potency on the rise after 50-60 years: drugs and lifestyle

Every representative of the strong half of humanity wants to remain confident at any age.

Understanding the causes of a decrease in sexual abilities is the right way to eliminate the problems and take measures to cure and prevent this unpleasant phenomenon.

Because potency decreases with age

There are a number of important points that cause a man's sexual function to decrease after 50-60 years:

• Low levels of androgens (sex hormones). The peak of testosterone production falls at the age of thirty, so the concentration of the hormone in the body begins to gradually decrease; this process is considered natural. It is impossible to stop the decline in androgen levels, however it is possible to promptly try to slow down the hormone deficiency.
• Narrowing of blood vessels. The older the person, the weaker the elasticity of the vessels; in addition, an important role is played by the age-related development of atherosclerosis, a phenomenon in which cholesterol is deposited on the inner wall of the arteries, preventing normal blood flow. As a result, the blood in the body circulates more slowly, reducing the blood supply to the penis. In addition to increasing the risk of erectile dysfunction, cholesterol plaques carry the threat of stroke and heart attack.
• Associated pathology. With age, the problem of cardiovascular pathology (for example, arterial hypertension), which also negatively affects the circulatory system of the body, becomes more relevant. The development over the years of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which also negatively affects the walls of blood vessels, should also be mentioned.

Rules for increasing potency after 50-60 years

Reducing the risk of developing erectile dysfunction requires an integrated approach:

• It is necessary to radically reconsider the way of life. Make sure you limit alcohol, quit smoking, and get rid of the extra pounds. Of great importance is a deep and complete sleep, at least 7-8 hours a day. It is important to get a doctor's opinion on all medications taken (if there is a comorbidity): some medications have a side effect in the form of a decrease in male potency. Often, the deterioration of men's health is observed with high cholesterol, with depression and psychosis, and also due to the use of certain antihypertensive drugs.
• Make sure you make time for physical activity! It is not necessary to spend hours in the gym, usually enough special physical exercises performed at home. Sports activities improve blood flow in the pelvic area, which means that the genitals are supplied much better.

Note! Weight training is the most natural way to increase testosterone levels in men!

• In stressful situations, a physiological increase in testosterone is often observed: for example, a contrast shower is a good way to maintain potency for many years. A hot water bath, on the contrary, negatively affects the level of androgens in the body.
• In some cases, a man has a special condition - psychological erectile dysfunction, which can be based on a negative sexual experience. In these cases it is important to be able to relax: resort to psychological counseling, mild sedatives, meditation.

Preparations for increasing potency

In addition to the general recommendations and a number of measures taken, a positive effect from drugs that increase potency is also observed. These drugs help the body almost immediately and the effect lasts about 2-3 hours.

Note! Taking medications can be accompanied by side effects: headache, nasal congestion or dyspeptic disorders.

Herbal medicine for potency

Scientific studies indicate the positive effect of herbal medicine in preventing the development of erectile dysfunction:

• Ginseng. Weed reduces stress, increases stamina and concentration. In the genital area, it has a modulating effect on the blood supply to the penis, increases the duration of erection and increases libido. One capsule is used 2-3 times a day for about a month. The side effect is insomnia.
• Peruvian maca (Meyen's insect). The plant is rare, but very valuable: it contains large quantities of amino acids, iron, magnesium and iodine. In the studies on rats, the drug significantly increased the sexual activity of the latter. Applied about 1 gram twice a day for two months.
• Yohimbine is a natural substance from the bark of an evergreen tree in West Africa. Activates nerve impulses in the genitals, dilates blood vessels and prolongs erection time. One tablet is used twice a day (no more than 10 weeks).

The impact of funds on health and the body

The US Food and Drug Administration does not approve the use of herbal preparations.

However, men often use both herbal medicine and official drug treatment. Usually, such therapy has no harmful effect on the body; in some cases, there is headache and insomnia.

Note! All medications must be taken in consultation with the doctor!
