Potential problems appear in men at different ages and are associated with various causes. This pathology affects the psychological state of a man. Any pathological processes in the genitourinary system should be discussed with the attending physician. Timely medical intervention will help to maintain sexual activity at the proper level.
Characteristics of sexual life
Potency is formed due to the well-coordinated work of several systems in the body. Sexual attraction arises from the active work of the hormonal and nervous system. Hormonal background has a major influence on the sexual function of men. For the appearance of excitation, hormone testosterone is needed. He forms the sex signs of men, responsible for spermatogenesis. The nervous system helps to activate the nerve endings on the genitals.
Under the influence of substances, the hypothalamus works harder. It transmits the signal to the root of the penis. They are activated and increase blood circulation in the inguinal vein. Vienna fills the cavernous bodies of the penis with blood. Fully filled bodies remain until ejaculation.
The ejaculation of a man depends on the work of the gonads and the hormonal system. Sex glands are responsible for the production of constituents of seminal fluid. The eggs produce special cells - spermatozoa. The prostate gland produces a fluid that is a secret of the sperm. Sperm production also depends on several systems.
With proper functioning of the body, a man has a healthy sexual activity. If there is a violation of functions in the body, the potency is disrupted.
Basic disorders of the sexual sphere
When there are problems with potency, the patient has various symptoms. There are several basic violations:
-
No erection; - Erection of erectile function;
- Absence of ejaculation;
- Impaired sperm excretion;
- The disappearance of sexual desire;
- Additional violations.
The absence of an erection is called impotence. Impotence is of a different nature. Pathology depends on various concomitant diseases of the genitourinary system and psychological state. With organic impotence, the patient is diagnosed with various inflammatory and hormonal diseases. Psychological impotence has no obvious reasons. Problems need to be identified with a psychologist.
Erection of erectile function occurs against a background of various pathologies. Often such changes occur because of the chronic course of inflammation in the urinary tract. If there is an incomplete erection or a decrease in penile tension during sexual intercourse, it is necessary to visit a urologist.
The absence of ejaculation indicates the presence of a dangerous process in the body. Often, with this pathology, the sperm is released into the bladder. Seed fluid can not penetrate the vas deferens. In this case, an operation is required.
Potency may be affected by changes in ejaculate volume. To find out the reason for such processes, it is necessary to undergo a thorough medical examination.
Problems can arise and with the disappearance of sexual desire. The reason is often the patient's psychological state. The presence of stress at work, an unfavorable situation in the family or psychological stress affects sexual desire. To eliminate the cause, it is recommended that the sexologist and psychologist help together.
If any of these symptoms appear, it is recommended that you visit a specialist. Timely medical intervention will help to eliminate various complications.
Causes of sexual dysfunction
All signs of problems with potency develop for various reasons. The following pathological processes are distinguished:
-
Various diseases of the genitourinary system; - Irregular sexual contact;
- Having bad habits and sedentary work;Excess weight;
- Changes in the body that occur with age.
There are a number of diseases that cause various problems in the genital area. The decrease in potency is affected by inflammatory diseases of the genitals. Often there are pathologies of the prostate and urethra. The prostate gland is susceptible to the development of prostatitis. The disease can occur due to various pathogenic factors or bacterial infection. There are also various infections of the soft tissues of the reproductive system. All these pathologies significantly violate potency.
The problem can arise and in the absence of a regular sexual life. If a man has not had sexual intercourse for a long time, the sexual glands decrease. The libido is broken. At the man excitement and desire disappears.
Special attention should be given to the presence of bad habits. The use of alcohol-containing drinks causes a change in spermatogenesis. Spermatozoa poorly tolerate alcohol constituents. There is a decrease in the number of healthy germ cells capable of conceiving. Also, sperm can not tolerate nicotine. The death of sexually mature cells is increased, an increase in abnormal forms of spermatozoa is observed. All this entails a change in the composition of the seminal fluid.
Pathological abnormalities occur also with prolonged sedentary work. Long stay in one position affects the metabolic processes in the pelvic organs. This is due to the slowing of blood circulation. With insufficient blood flow, oxygen supply to tissue cells decreases. The cells cease to function normally. There is a decrease in sexual function.
Excess weight also causes problems with potency. The accumulation of excess fat deposits affects the metabolic processes and the position of internal organs. Fatty tissue exerts pressure on the organs, they shift. Their work is deteriorating. Often with obesity, inflammatory diseases of the prostate gland are observed. Also, failures in the work of the hormonal background are detected.
The age of a man affects sexual activity. As the age increases, the activity of the hormonal background decreases. Testosterone ceases to be produced in large quantities. Sexual activity subsides. Problems are diagnosed at the first stages. If the pathology is ignored for a long time, the risk of impotence increases.
Influence of the general state of the body on sexual activity
Potential problems are also revealed in various diseases of the body. There are several pathologies that cause a violation of potency:
- Cardiovascular diseases;
- Nervous pathology;
- Hormonal changes.
Diseases of the cardiovascular system cause a violation in the reproductive system. Problems arise against the background of arteriosclerosis of blood vessels. This pathology causes a violation of blood circulation in the inguinal vein. It stops feeding the penis with enough blood. There is erectile dysfunction.
Having a history of Parkinson's disease, epileptic seizures or head injuries leads to a violation of potency. These diseases are often accompanied by impotence. You can not eliminate this problem. Pathologies do not lend themselves to complete cure, only remission can be achieved.
Hormonal pathologies cause abnormality of the penis and filling of the cavernous bodies. The process is accompanied by a decrease in trophic nutrition of peripheral organs.
Psychological aspect of
Many men find it difficult to diagnose problems with potency due to the absence of obvious symptoms and causes. In this case, you need to contact a psychologist. The doctor will reveal pathological changes in the patient's condition. The decrease in sexual activity is influenced by such psychological reasons as:
-
Stress at work; - Unfavorable situation in the family;
- Depression;
- Sexual failures;
- The presence of psychological trauma;
- Overexcitation.
Potency may worsen due to stress at work or at home. Verbal skirmishes, swearing and prolonged mental work entail a decrease in vital processes. Against the background of these unpleasant phenomena, a man's sexual desire is lost. To restore potency, doctors recommend active rest and a change in the situation. Depression also often results from stressful situations. Removing depression can only be under the supervision of a specialist.
Psychological changes may appear on the background of sexual failures. Problems are observed with the change of sexual partner or the beginning of sexual life. The patient remembers unpleasant experience and is afraid of a repetition of the situation. Sometimes, in case of failure, the patient does not receive support from the partner. In this case, a bad experience is stored in memory. It causes the development of psychological impotence.
Nervous overexcitation results in rapid ejaculation or erectile dysfunction. This phenomenon is observed at the beginning of sexual life or the change of sexual partner. The first sexual contact in many young people is accompanied by immediate ejaculation. This should not be feared, since further contacts normalize the sexual glands. But such failures in some men cause unpleasant sensations. Potency can be disrupted.
Selection of the necessary treatment
Therapy of problems with potency depends on the reasons that caused them. The main treatment for almost all disorders is medication. For the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system is carried out with the help of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Therapy is selected strictly by a specialist.
Psychological reasons require the intervention of a physician. For the selection of treatment the doctor finds out the psychological situation in the family, the presence of irritants in the environment. If the causes of psychological disorders are discovered, the specialist conducts the necessary treatment. In some cases, the joint work of a psychologist and a sexologist is necessary.
You can reduce these problems yourself. For this, it is necessary to observe such rules as:
-
Power control; - Uniform sexual activity;
- Refusal of alcohol and smoking;
- Active sports life;
- Prophylactic visit to the urologist.
Control of nutrition helps to get rid of various health problems. Potency is no exception. Men are encouraged to give preference to foods rich in vitamins and minerals. For the proper functioning of the hormonal system, it is recommended to increase the intake of zinc, iron and vitamin E. Zinc helps to restore the production of testosterone. The hormone will help maintain sexual health.
To avoid a violation of potency, you need to have a regular sex life. In the presence of periodic sexual rest, there is a violation of blood circulation in the small pelvis and spermatogenesis. Stagnation of the seminal fluid causes a change in its composition. Recovery is very slow.
It is also recommended that you avoid using alcohol-containing cocktails and smoking. These substances have a harmful effect on spermatozoa. If the pathological effect of alcohol is reduced, the vascular circulation increases and the sperm composition improves.
Experts advise to increase physical activity. You can exercise a little morning jogs or go to the gym. Such exercises will help improve the work of muscle tissue, increase blood circulation, restore immunity.
A healthy lifestyle will help strengthen the body as a whole and eliminate the problems of the genital area. All these rules should be accompanied by a prophylactic examination of the urologist. It is recommended to visit a doctor at least once every six months.
The presence of various pathological changes in the body causes deterioration of the sexual sphere. If you follow all the rules and carefully monitor your health, then problems with potency will not arise.
