Potency in a man includes important characteristics such as: the degree of penile tension, the rate of appearance of an erection, the course of sexual intercourse itself and its duration.
It is known that at all times the ability to leave descendants and be the father of a family was considered one of the most significant opportunities that nature offers to man.
Low potency can result not only from psychological disorders but also from various illnesses.
The concept of standard. A man's sexual abilities
It should be noted that in sexology the quantitative characteristics of the constituents of "male" strength have not been determined. It is impossible to say exactly the "exact" limits on the length of intercourse, the "normal" limits on penis size, and a certain number of copulatory frictions. It is noted that the average duration of a sexual intercourse is 2. 5 minutes, and the total number of frictions during intercourse is equal to 50-60, but these are not indicators of the norm, as in some men the sexual intercourse lasts 30 -40 minutes, reaching 300 or more frictions.
Good potency is characterized by the following criteria:
- Strong sexual desire and desire.
- Strong, full erections that promote ejaculation and orgasm.
How to restore and maintain male strength?
To prevent the development of erectile dysfunction, you need to:
- Lead a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and regularly, practice sports, take care of your health.
- Do not smoke, abuse alcohol and do not use drugs.
- Do not use medications that may cause erectile dysfunction, or use them strictly in accordance with the doctor's prescription and coordinate the consultation with the instructions for use.
- Have a regular sex life, without long periods of abstinence and sexual excesses.
- Be sure to see a urologist if you have a lesion in the pelvic region, perineum, if you are having small pelvis surgery, if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.
Potency is the body's ability to have sex. In sexology, the term potency generally refers to male sexuality. Thus, potency determines a man's sexual capacities and is to some extent characterized by the tension of the penis, the speed of onset of an erection, the duration of intercourse and its normal course, and in a broad sense - the very ability to have a normal sex life. A man's potential cannot be identified with the pace of sexual activity he engages in, as a man's sexual abilities may not correlate with the frequency of his sexual acts. Furthermore, in no case should it be identified with the intensity of your sexual desire, which, in some forms of erectile dysfunction, not only does not weaken but, on the contrary, can increase.
As far as women are concerned, the concept of "potency" is almost never used and its definition has no unambiguous formulation.
A healthy man retains the ability to have complete sexual intercourse until death and, unlike a woman, male menopause has purely pathological causes.
The constant inability to have full sexual intercourse can be a sign of one form of impotence.
Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, is a disorder of sexual function, as a result of which a man is unable to increase the volume of the penis, its hardening and straightening, as well as maintain a penile erection long enough for a sufficient duration of intercourse. in full. This is one of the sexual dysfunctions observed in men.
medical symptoms
Erectile dysfunction is a man's persistent inability to complete sexual intercourse completely. The absence of any component determines the impossibility of having full sexual intercourse and gradually leads to the violation of the remaining components. Most of the time this is due to erectile dysfunction or ejaculation.
Normally, disturbances of sexual function are not independent illnesses, but they exist and develop as concomitant illnesses. Thus, erectile dysfunction can occur with endocrine disorders, such as diabetes and hypogonadism, or be associated with several urological diseases, lesions located in the cerebral cortex of the centers that regulate sexual functions. Erectile dysfunction caused by these reasons is classified as organic.
In many cases, erectile dysfunction is associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. This is called psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
There are psychological, organic and mixed erectile dysfunction. If before several psychological problems were considered the main cause of their occurrence, now this opinion has changed. It has been shown that erectile dysfunction in 80% of cases is organic in nature and arises as a complication of various somatic diseases.
Signs of psychogenic erectile dysfunction are:
- Sudden onset of the disease.
- Having relationship issues.
- The presence of spontaneous nocturnal erections.
- Erection problems are sporadic.
- Restoring a normal erection after eliminating an external problem.
If erectile dysfunction is caused by organic causes, it is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Gradual onset of disease
- Lack of spontaneous nocturnal erections
- Normal libido and ejaculation
- systematic erectile dysfunction
For most people, sexual intercourse is a very sensitive subject, so men with erectile dysfunction tend to explain the problem by external factors, often trying to disguise it altogether. Although in 95% of cases erectile dysfunction is curable with medication, only 10% of men with potency difficulties seek medical attention.
The sexual partner can help the man to overcome the psychological barrier, but only the doctor can determine effective methods of treatment.
erectile dysfunction
The diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is usually made when a man is unable to maintain an erection in more than 25% of the intercourses he tries. According to surveys, more than 150 million men over the age of 40 suffer from this disorder worldwide.
clinical diagnoses
To determine the causes of erectile dysfunction, it is necessary to perform diagnoses to exclude or confirm serious diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, prolactinoma.
Treatment options for erectile dysfunction depend on the cause. All impotence treatment methods are divided into conservative and operational.
Conservative methods of treating impotence include drug therapy or the use of design vacuum devices.
Surgical treatment of impotence has been used less and less due to the high efficacy of drug therapy. Surgical methods are used in extreme cases, when conservative treatment does not give the desired results and for certain indications.
In any case, if potency problems arise, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help, without prejudice and hesitation, as more serious pathological conditions are often the basis of sexual dysfunctions.
