Male potency consists of enough tension in the penis and getting an erection to perform a complete sexual act. The main role in this is played by the amount of the hormone testosterone in the body. Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testes, and the less that 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, as in healthy men under the age of 35-40 years, the causes of impotence may be more related even to psychological barriers. In men over 40, these dysfunctions are often the result of hormonal failures or various diseases.
The reasons for the decrease in testosterone levels in a man's body can be:
- damage to intervertebral discs
- spinal myelodysplasia
- peripheral toxic neuropathies,
- Parkinson's disease,
- multiple sclerosis,
- overweight,
- chronic stress, depression,
- alcohol abuse and drug use,
- taking tranquilizers and antidepressants, anabolic steroids,
- post-traumatic and postoperative consequences.
Men who have an infection with ureaplasmosis and other mycoplasmas in the body, in the absence of treatment, are also at risk of a gradual decrease in male power. 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 doubts and problems in relationships with a partner, seriously affect potency.
