Potency in a man includes such important characteristics as: the degree of tension of the penis, the speed at which an erection appears, the course of sexual intercourse itself and its duration.
It is known that at any time the ability to leave offspring and be the father of a family was considered one of the most important opportunities offered to a man by nature.
Low potency can be the result of not only psychological disorders, but also various diseases.
The concept of standard. Sexual abilities of a man
It should be noted that in sexology the quantitative characteristics of the constituents of "male" force have not been determined. It is impossible to say exactly the "exact" limits of the duration of intercourse, the "normal" limits of the size of the penis and a number of copulatory friction. It should be noted that the average duration of sexual intercourse is 2. 5 minutes, and the total number of frictions during coitus is equal to 50-60. However, these are not indicators of the norm, since in some men intercourse lasts 30-40 minutes, reaching 300 or more frictions.
Good power is characterized by the following criteria:
- Strong libido and sexual desire.
- Strong and full erections that promote ejaculation and orgasm.
How to restore and maintain male strength?
To prevent the development of erectile dysfunction, you need:
- Lead a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and regularly, exercise, take care of your health.
- Don't smoke, abuse alcohol, or use drugs.
- Do not use drugs that can cause erectile dysfunction, or use them only as prescribed by the doctor and coordinate the appointment with the instructions for use.
- Have a regular sex life, without long periods of abstinence and sexual excess.
- Be sure to see a urologist if you are injured in the pelvic area, perineum, if you are going to have surgery on the small pelvis, 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 abilities and is, to a certain extent, characterized by the tension of the penis, the speed of onset of an erection, the duration of sexual intercourse and its normal course, and in the sensewide - the very ability to have a normal sex life. A man's potential cannot be identified with the pace of his sexual activity, as a man's sexual abilities may not correlate with the frequency of his sexual acts. Also, in no case should he be identified with the intensity of his 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 hardly ever used and its definition has no unambiguous formulation.
A healthy man retains the ability to have full sex until death, and unlike a woman, male menopause has purely pathological causes.
A constant inability to have full-fledged sex can be a sign of one of the forms of impotence.
Erectile dysfunction, or impotence, is a disorder of sexual function, as a result of which a man cannot achieve an increase in penis size, hardening and straightening, as well as maintaining an erection of the penis for a sufficient time tosufficient duration of full sexual intercourse. It is one of the sexual dysfunctions seen in men.
Medical symptoms
Erectile dysfunction is a man's persistent inability to have full sexual intercourse. The absence of any component determines the inability to perform full-fledged intercourse and gradually leads to a violation of the remaining components. Most often, this is due to erectile dysfunction or ejaculation.
Usually, disorders of sexual function are not independent diseases, but exist and develop concomitantly. Thus, erectile dysfunction can occur with endocrine disorders, such as diabetes and hypogonadism, or be associated with various urological diseases, lesions localized in the cerebral cortex of the centers of regulation of 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 dysfunctions. If previously various psychological problems were considered the main cause of its occurrence, now this opinion has changed. It has been shown that erectile dysfunction in 80% of cases is organic in nature and presents itself as a complication of various somatic diseases.
The signs of psychogenic erectile dysfunction are:
- Sudden onset of the disease.
- Have relationship problems.
- The presence of spontaneous nocturnal erections.
- Erection problems are sporadic.
- Restore a normal erection after eliminating an external problem.
If erectile dysfunction is caused by organic causes, it is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Progressive onset of the disease
- Lack of spontaneous nocturnal erections
- Normal libido and ejaculation
- Systematic erectile dysfunction
For most people, sex is a very touchy subject, so men with erectile dysfunction tend to explain the problem to external factors, often trying to hide it completely. Despite the fact that in 95% of cases erectile dysfunction is curable with medication, only 10% of men who have difficulty with potency see a doctor.
The sexual partner can help a man overcome the psychological barrier, but only a doctor can determine effective treatment methods.
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 times he attempts sex. According to research, more than 150 million men over the age of 40 suffer from this disorder worldwide.
Clinical diagnosis
To determine the causes of erectile dysfunction, it is necessary to conduct a diagnosis in order to exclude or confirm such serious diseases as diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, prolactinoma.
Treatment options for erectile dysfunction depend on the cause. All methods of treating impotence are divided into conservative and operational.
Conservative methods of treating impotence include drug therapy or the use of vacuum design devices.
Surgical treatment of impotence has recently been used less and less due to the high effectiveness 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 problems with potency arise, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help without prejudice and hesitation, since often more serious pathological conditions are the basis of sexual dysfunctions.
