Potency problems at age 40 are believed to begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men this age have already presented themselves as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. However, at age 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men, it is at age forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But rape or even complete loss of erection at age 40 is not a sentence of impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that potency after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to decreased testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, ie an erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is highly 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 impact of external factors have a negative 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 age 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medication, which is performed by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true for hormonal drugs that affect men's potency. It is also harmful to mindlessly take medication for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce a man's body functions to independently produce testosterone;
- The absence of a regular sex life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for a long time, this causes an interruption in the work of blood circulation, in the functions of the prostate and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute phases of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Because of them, degenerative processes of the gonad are observed. As you understand, this does nothing good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight causes hormonal imbalances. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to that of testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the first signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer fatty foods. In some cases, it is enough to normalize a healthy diet, abandon bad habits, to restore the old quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, a variety of reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after age 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or treat them in the early 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 own health. Only relevant signs indicating the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can push 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. That's why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency decreases, even if slightly.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of complete erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed throughout sexual intercourse;
- An erection occurs unstable, at certain times it can significantly weaken, but then it returns to its previous level again;
- The man is incapable of having sex. Although arousal is present, an erection still does not occur;
- It takes a long time to create a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a matter of seconds. If there are signs of impotence developing, erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and arousal 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 as having sex. Often, men after 40 complain of lack of satisfaction, 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
Don't be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a completely normal age at which erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex starts to bring you pleasure again, and there are no difficulties with the arousal process.
Impotence, that is, the complete loss of erectile function, at age 40 is a rarity. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, potency will not really return.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to resort to potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when potency starts to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy must be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist will tell you after the exam. In no case should you start taking any medication 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 foods reduce potency, while healthy, wholesome foods normalize it. Therefore, to maintain and increase potency, erectile function, you must eat right;
- Practice sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). For power, running, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Exercise regularly to increase potency. There are several sets of exercises 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 its detrimental effect on male potency;
- Somehow diversify your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, the use of toys. A man needs to increase interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly with a psychologist if potency problems have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and his attention to his own health issues. There are also factors beyond men's control, most of which modern medicine helps to deal with.
