Male potency consists of sufficient penile tension and erection to perform a complete sexual act. The main role in this is played by the amount of testosterone hormone in the body. Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testicles and the less it is produced, the weaker the erection.
It is possible to promote the production of testosterone in a man's body by knowing the reasons why its production decreases or increases. They can be physiological and psychological.
The age of the man is an important factor, because in healthy men under the age of 35-40, the causes of impotence may be more related even to psychological barriers. In men over 40, such malfunctions are often the consequences of hormonal deficiency or various diseases.
The reasons for the decrease in testosterone levels in a man's body can be:
- damage to the intervertebral discs
- myelodysplasia of the spine
- peripheral toxic neuropathies,
- Parkinson's disease,
- Multiple Sclerosis,
- overweight,
- chronic stress, depression,
- alcohol abuse and drug use,
- taking sedatives and antidepressants, anabolic steroids,
- post-traumatic and postoperative consequences.
Men who have an infection of ureaplasmosis and other mycoplasmas in the body, in the absence of treatment, are also at risk of a gradual decrease in male potency. Endocrine causes can be diseases of the thyroid gland and pituitary gland. Diagnoses such as hypogonadism, prolactinoma and sarcoidosis affect not only erectile function, but also reduce sexual desire.
In addition, a man's fear of sexual impotence, as well as self-doubt and problems in relations with a partner, seriously affect potency.
