It is believed that potency problems at the age of 40 begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already taken their place as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. However, at the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men, at the age of forty, the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But violation or even complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a punishment for impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and take serious care of your health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that strength after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to the decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, that is, erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable when compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable when compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
But the modern way of life and the negative influence of external factors have a bad effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not produced as actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, there are several factors that affect a man's potency. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medication, which is carried out by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true for hormonal drugs that affect male potency. It is also harmful to recklessly take drugs for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- Lack of a regular sex life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent in a man's life for a long time, this provokes a disruption in the work of blood circulation, the functions of the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Due to them, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you understand, this does not bring anything good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalance. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to an increase in another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the earliest signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer fatty junk food. In some cases, it is enough just to normalize a healthy diet, to give up bad habits, to restore the previous quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, a number of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or treat them in the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function.
But men do not always pay due attention to their health. Only relevant signs that indicate the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can lead them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. This is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the strength decreases even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then among the most important we must emphasize the following:
- Absence of full erection. When he wakes up, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed throughout sexual intercourse;
- An erection is unstable, at certain moments it can weaken significantly, but then it returns to its previous level;
- The man is unable to have intercourse. Although arousal is present, erection does not yet occur;
- It takes a long time to grow a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a few seconds. If there are signs of developing impotence, the erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with erection and excitement is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to the loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure from sex. Often men after 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but it is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misunderstanding. 40 years old is a perfectly normal age at which erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is foolish and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex starts to bring pleasure again and there are no difficulties with the arousal process.
Impotence, i. e. the complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is a rare thing. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the power really won't come back.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to use potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful for you in your 20s, when the power begins to disappear due to the completely natural causes of aging. 40 is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve power, only a specialist will tell you after the examination. In no case should you start taking any medicine without first diagnosing impotence problems. Before visiting a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful food reduces power, while wholesome and healthy food normalizes it. So, to maintain and increase potency, erectile function, you must eat properly;
- Do sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens the power). For potency, running, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Exercise regularly for potency. There are a number of exercise groups specifically designed to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Give up categorically bad habits. Everyone knows about their harmful effect on male potency;
- Diversify your sex life somehow. We are talking about role-playing, the use of toys. A man should raise interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate honestly with a psychologist if problems with potency have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the strength and quality of erectile function. Maintaining male power depends only on him and on paying attention to his health issues. There are also factors beyond men's control, most of which modern medicine helps to cope with.
