Erectile dysfunction is considered one of the most pressing problems faced by men over the age of 35.
According to statistical studies and the results of sociological surveys, it was discovered that more than 30% of men suffer from full chili partial potency. However, only 5% of men seek help from specialists with such a delicate problem. In most cases, men who have problems during sexual intercourse try to solve the problem themselves by using erection-enhancing drugs, which cannot eliminate the cause of potency, but only stimulate arousal during sexual intercourse.
Such "treatment" methods lead to the aggravation of the main cause of impotence, which can lead to a number of complications in the form of a complete lack of potency, infertility and other health problems that will not allow a man to live a full sexual life.
There are many reasons that prevent a man from having sexual intercourse, and all of them can develop at a physiological, psychological or pathological level.
The main causes of potency
Erectile dysfunction is nothing but a reflection of a man's physical or psychological condition. The whole body is involved in the process of sexual arousal. The brain is believed to be responsible for the process that transmits impulses throughout the body, resulting in increased blood flow to the pelvic organs and an increased erection. Often, the cause of potency is cumulative causes that combine several problems.
Problems with potency can be caused by the following adverse factors:
- Psychogenic.
- Neurogenic.
- Hormonal.
- Blood vessel;
- Medication use;
- External factors.
Considering the individuality of each man's body, the cause of potency may also be other factors, but regardless of the cause, it should be identified and eliminated, it will help the man restore sexual arousal and strengthen the erection.

Primary or secondary central nervous system and peripheral system problems can lead to complete absence of erection. Such pathologies develop as a result of injuries, tumor-like neoplasms, develop after surgery.
Hormonal disorders
Hormonal imbalance in the male body can cause erectile dysfunction. The following pathological processes can develop with reduced testosterone (male sex hormone) production, endocrine gland diseases or metabolic disorders in the body:
- diabetes;
- hyperprolactinemia;
- thyroid pathology.
Hormonal imbalance in the body can cause infertility.

- injuries, pelvic bone fractures;
- perineal injury;
- damage to the urethra;
- atherosclerosis;
- hypertension;
- varicose veins, thrombophlebitis;
In addition to the above reasons that contribute to the development of potency, there are also other diseases or pathologies in which blood circulation is disturbed.

Pharmacological drugs are considered one of the reasons for the decrease in male potency. There are several drugs that cause potency:
- psychotropic drugs;
- antihypertensive drugs;
- anticancer agents (cytostatic agents);
- hormonal drugs containing female sex hormones.

How to help a man?
To help a man solve potency problems, it is necessary to determine the cause that caused the violation. If the reason lies in the man's psychological state of health, then a psychologist or sexual partner should be consulted, who can support the man and help him overcome difficulties.
If the reason lies in the man's state of health and the presence of concomitant diseases in the anamnesis, then the help of a medical specialist is mandatory. Improving potency, getting rid of complexes is possible only if the source of the disease, which adversely affects the male urogenital system, is eliminated.
Based on this article, it can be noted that there are a lot of reasons that negatively affect male strength. But, as is known, erectile dysfunction manifests itself in 93% of cases against the background of simultaneous disorders of the body, so the cause must be eliminated before restoring potency.
