The sexual activity of the stronger sex decreases over the years, which is associated with aging of the body. Unfortunately it is inevitable. This leads to a common misconception that there is no sex after a certain age. Many give up on intimacy. Potency in 60-year-old men does not go away. It can and should be supported.
Intimate life after sixty
The production of sperm and testosterone in the stronger sex decreases upon reaching the age of forty. This only leads to some changes in sex life:
- After 60 years, only 7-10% of men become impotent, but they are able to bring satisfaction to their partner in other ways. For the rest, refusing to have sex or reducing sexual intercourse is an exclusively individual choice.
- Potency in 70 years disappears completely in 20%, but healthy men are capable of coitus, receiving full pleasure, with a frequency of up to 2 times a week.
Lack of attraction and libido in men in their 60s is not the norm, but evidence of health problems. Measures taken correctly can normalize erectile function at any age.
The reasons for the decrease in power after 60
Intimate problems are natural, physiological and pathological. The first group includes age-related modifications:
- the erect phallus becomes smaller;
- the skin of the scrotum sags, losing its former elasticity;
- a productive erection takes more time and effort;
- decrease, drooping of the testicles (testicles);
- The penis drops sharply after ejaculation.
There are no direct prerequisites for reducing potency. The following factors contribute to the problem:
- Bad habits. Nicotine, alcohol poisons the body, inflicts a severe blow to the circulatory system, which leads to stagnant processes, poor blood circulation in the cavernous and spongy bodies of the penis.
- Overweight. Obesity against the background of a malfunctioning congenital metabolism occurs only in a small percentage of people, and in the rest it is provoked by an unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle.
- Hypertension. Leads to fragility of blood vessels, ischemia of the pelvic organs.
- Prostatitis. The main culprit of a decrease in potency after 60 years in 70% of the stronger sex, problems with urination. The sooner you start treatment, the faster your recovery will come.
- Pathology. Erectile dysfunction develops due to diseases of the endocrine gland (hypothyroidism, hypogonadism), pyelonephritis, urolithiasis, orchitis, cryptorchidism, epididymitis.
The causes of erectile dysfunction, as you can see, are not related to age at all, but to real health problems, an incorrect lifestyle.
When should you sound the alarm?
The signs of decreased potency are:
- inability to maintain intimacy about 1-2 times a week;
- lack of morning erection, which is the main indicator of dysfunction;
- there is no nocturnal erection, without which it is impossible to talk about normal reproductive function.
The improvement of potency in men after 60-70 years must begin with the diagnosis of the disease:
- Spermogram. It determines the motility and viability of spermatozoa.
- ultrasound. It is performed for the pelvic organs due to the absence / presence of pathologies.
- Prostate examination. It is performed rectally, it allows to exclude / confirm prostatitis.
- General blood tests and PSA. They allow you to determine various pathologies, as well as diabetes mellitus.
- Study of the juice of the prostate gland. It is prescribed for the detection of prostatitis, other diseases of peristalsis.
You cannot delay visiting a specialist. Only a careful determination of the cause allows you to develop the right approach.
Increased potency in men after 60
Improving sexual activity is possible thanks to the right approach. The main thing is to have a corresponding desire. The older a man gets, the more efforts must be made. An integrated approach is required:
- review the diet;
- increase physical activity;
- takes special medications;
- Treats detected pathologies.
The last point concerns those cases in which the examination has shown the presence of certain pathologies.
Correct power supply
Start by avoiding malicious products:
- fat from pork, beef, lamb, which causes atherosclerosis, poor blood supply to the pelvic organs;
- sour cream, milk, cream with a high percentage of fat for the reason described above;
- fast food that increases cholesterol, promotes the formation of lipid plaques on blood vessels;
- sausage, smoked and salty products that negatively affect the body's metabolism;
- muffins and bread made from whole grains, white flour, causing a series of fat mass, consisting mainly of fast carbohydrates and empty calories.
The main emphasis should be on plant products containing fiber, which allow the body to rid the body of toxins and toxins. The diet must contain:
- red fish, shrimp and other aphrodisiac seafood;
- walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, but not more than 2-3 tablespoons per day due to the high calorie content;
- bananas, pomegranates, lemons, figs, oranges, grapes;
- low-fat dairy products, chicken and quail eggs;
- legumes, potatoes, turnips, horseradish;
- onions, garlic, herbs;
- natural honey.
Replace white bread and baked goods with whole grains. You have to eat fractionally, don't overeat, try to count calories. The latter is especially important for those who tend to be overweight and are struggling with excess fat.
Physical activity
To maintain men's health after 60 years, it is necessary to observe the golden mean. Excessive exercise has a negative impact on health and potency. This is due to the release of cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine, which block the synthesis of testosterone. Another reason is that not everyone at this age can boast of excellent health.
It is also impossible to switch to a sedentary lifestyle. This will lead to stagnant processes, a rapid streak of extra pounds with all the negative consequences that come with it. The most suitable type of activity will be walking in the fresh air, jogging, exercising, swimming. The lessons must be accompanied by a clear control of the pulse, pressure, heartbeat.
A Kegel exercise works well. It does not require any serious stress, allows you to strengthen the pelvic organs, improve blood circulation in the penis cavity. This contributes to a longer and more stable erection.
Treatment of pathological processes
Not self-diagnosing and healing. Otherwise, instead of improving the potency to 70, you can cause irreparable damage to health. Diagnosis and therapy must be prescribed by a specialist. Some drugs are able to cope with the disease, but inhibit erection, so alternative or supportive therapy can be chosen, which allows a man over the age of 60 to be deprived of intimacy.
Care should also be taken when using various potency pathogens. After 60 and, especially, 70 years, it is necessary to exercise more caution to avoid unnecessary stress on the heart and prevent pressure spikes. This must be taken into account, avoiding unjustified and dangerous experiments with your health.
