It is believed that at the age of 40, problems related to potency begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most of the men of this age have already become fathers, professionals and husbands. However, not all of them experience positive emotions, do not feel healthy and happy. Nevertheless, by the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. According to statistics, in about 50% of men, the first signs of problems with erectile function are observed at the age of forty. This has a negative effect on the psychological state, often men suffer from depression. However, erectile dysfunction or even complete loss at the age of 40 is not a sentence for impotence. You just need to find the reasons for the violations and pay serious attention to your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that in men after 40 years, the potential deteriorates mainly due to the decrease in testosterone levels. It is a purely male hormone responsible for libido and sexual function, i. e. erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is quite stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is quite stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
But modern lifestyle and the negative influence of external factors have a bad effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not so actively produced, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In general, there are several factors that affect a man's potency. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development may be the following:
- Taking drugs by a man without the advice or supervision of doctors. This is especially true for hormonal drugs that affect male potency. Taking drugs for the treatment of blood vessels without thinking is also harmful. Such drugs reduce the functions of a person's body to independently produce testosterone;
- Lack of regular sex life in men. Too frequent sex is also harmful. However, if sexual intercourse is absent for a very long time in a person's life, it causes a violation of the functions of blood circulation, prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. According to them, degenerative processes of the genital gland are observed. As you can see, this does not bode well for potential;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalance. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to that of testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the first signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse a lot of alcohol or prefer fatty foods. In some cases, normalizing a healthy diet and giving up bad habits is enough to restore the previous quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, various reasons can cause a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent them from occurring or to treat them at the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term symptoms can result in complete loss of sexual function.
However, men do not always pay due attention to their health. Only relevant symptoms that indicate the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can prompt them to consult a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term symptoms can result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take more serious measures. Therefore, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency drops even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, we should highlight the following among the main ones:
- Absence of complete erection. When he wakes up, he feels that his penis is hard, but not strong enough. This condition is observed during all intercourse;
- The erection is unstable, it can weaken significantly at certain moments, but then it returns to its previous level;
- A man cannot have sex. Although arousal is present, an erection still does not occur;
- Cultivating a member takes a lot of time. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a few seconds. If there are signs of impotence, erection requires more time and additional stimulation;
- Although everything is normal with the erection, although the arousal is at a high level, ejaculation does not occur. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to the loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure in sex. Often after the age of 40, men complain of dissatisfaction, their interest in sex decreases significantly. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to believe that it is impossible to increase potency in men after the age of 40. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a completely normal age to have a high level of erectile function. It is foolish and wrong to attribute everything to age. You just need to take care of your health so that sex starts to bring pleasure again and there are no difficulties in the awakening process.
Impotence at the age of 40, that is, complete loss of erectile function, is rare. This happens only when a man ignores the existence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking action, the potential will not really return.

Another important tip. Don't rush to take potential stimulants in your forties. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of an erection can be useful to you after 20 years, when potency begins to disappear due to the completely natural causes of aging. 40 is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist will tell you after the examination. In no case should you start taking any medicine without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before going to the doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. In men, the potential is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful food reduces the potency, and healthy and healthy food normalizes it. So, to maintain and increase potency, erectile function, you need to eat right;
- Do sports (without excessive physical exertion, this only worsens the potential). For potency, running, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Exercise regularly for potency. There is a set of exercises specifically designed to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Definitely give up bad habits. Everyone knows about their harmful effect on male potency;
- Diversify your sex life somehow. We are talking about using role-playing games and toys. A man should increase interest in sex, which will have a positive effect on potency, that is, erectile function;
- If there are psychological reasons for problems with potency, frankly contact a psychologist.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and on taking care of his own health. There are also factors beyond men's control, most of which modern medicine helps to overcome.
