It is believed that problems with potency at the age of 40 begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already taken place as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not all of them experience positive emotions, feel healthy and happy. Nevertheless, by the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men, it is by the age of forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But violation or even complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a sentence for impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that potency after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, that is, an erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is highly stable when compared with 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 highly stable when compared with women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
But the modern way of life and the negative impact of external factors have a bad effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not produced so actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, there are several factors that affect the potency of a man. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medications, which is carried out by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect the potency of men. It is also harmful to thoughtlessly take medicines for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of the body of a man to independently produce testosterone;
- The absence of a regular sexual life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, this provokes a disruption in the work of blood circulation, the functions of the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Because of them, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you understand, this does not bring anything good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalances. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to an increase in another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the earliest signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities, or prefer junk fatty foods. In some cases, it is enough just to normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits, in order to restore the former quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, a variety of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or to treat them at the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function.
But not always men pay due attention to their own health. Only relevant signs indicating the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can push them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. That is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as potency decreases even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of full erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed during the entire sexual intercourse;
- An erection occurs unstable, at certain moments it can significantly weaken, but then returns to its previous level again;
- The man is unable to have intercourse. Although arousal is present, an erection still does not occur;
- It takes a long time to raise a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a matter of seconds. If there are signs of impotence development, erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and arousal is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure from having sex. Often men after 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. 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 the increase in potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a completely normal age at which erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex begins to bring pleasure again, and there are no difficulties with the process of arousal.
Impotence, that is, the complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is a rarity. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, potency really will not return.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to resort to taking potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection may be useful to you in 20 years, when potency begins to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 years 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 medication without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before visiting a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful food reduces potency, while healthy and healthy food normalizes it. So in order to maintain and enhance potency, erectile function, you should eat right;
- Go in for sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsen potency). For potency, jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Regularly exercise for potency. There are a number of sets of exercises designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting with a specialist;
- Categorically give up bad habits. Everyone knows about their detrimental effect on male potency;
- Somehow diversify your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, the use of toys. A man needs to raise interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly with a psychologist if problems with potency have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and on attention to issues of his own health. There are also factors beyond the control of men, with most of which modern medicine helps to cope.
