Male potency consists in sufficient tension on the penis and obtaining an erection to perform a full sexual act. The main role for this is played by the amount of the hormone testosterone in the body. Testosterone is secreted by the Leydig cells of the testes, and the less it is produced, the weaker the erection.
It is possible to promote the production of testosterone in the male body by knowing the reasons why its production decreases or increases. They can be physiological and psychological.
A man's age is an important factor, because in healthy men under 35-40 years of age, the causes of impotence can be related rather even to psychological barriers. In men over 40, such dysfunctions are often the result of hormonal failure or various diseases.
The reasons for a decrease in testosterone levels in a man's body can be:
- damage to the intervertebral discs
- myelodysplasia of the spine
- peripheral toxic neuropathies,
- Parkinson's disease,
- multiple sclerosis,
- Overweight,
- chronic stress, depression,
- alcohol abuse and drug use,
- taking tranquilizers and antidepressants, steroid anabolics,
- post-traumatic and postoperative consequences.
Men who have an infection with ureaplasmosis and other mycoplasmas in the body, in the absence of treatment, also risk a gradual decrease in male potency. Endocrine causes can be thyroid and pituitary gland diseases. Diagnoses such as hypogonadism, prolactinoma and sarcoidosis affect not only erectile function, but also reduce sexual desire.
In addition, a man's fear of sexual impotence, as well as self-doubt and problems in relations with a partner, seriously affect potency.
