A man's potency includes such important characteristics as: the degree of tension of the penis, the speed with which an erection occurs, the course of sexual intercourse itself and its duration.
It is known that the ability to bequeath offspring and to be the father of a family has at all times been considered one of the most significant opportunities given by nature to a person.
Bad potency can be the result not only of mental disorders, but also of various diseases.
The concept of the norm. A man's sexual prowess
It should be noted that in sexology the quantitative characteristics of the constituents of "male" strength have not been determined. It is impossible to pinpoint the "exact" limits of length of intercourse, the "normal" limits of penis size, and a specific number of copulative frictions. It should be noted that the average duration of intercourse is 2. 5 minutes, and the total number of frictions during coitus is 50-60. But these are not indicators of the norm, since in some men sexual intercourse lasts 30-40 minutes and reaches 300 or more frictions.
A good potency is characterized by the following criteria:
- Strong sex drive and desire.
- Strong and full erections that promote ejaculation and orgasm.
How can one restore and maintain male strength?
To prevent erectile dysfunction from developing, you will need:
- Live a healthy lifestyle, eat properly and regularly, exercise, take care of your health.
- Do not smoke, abuse alcohol, or use drugs.
- Do not use drugs that can cause erectile dysfunction or use them strictly as directed by a doctor and coordinate the appointment 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 injuries in the pelvic area, perineum, pelvic surgery, if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.
Potency is the body's ability to have sexual intercourse. In sex science, the term potency usually refers to male sexuality. Thus, potency determines the sexual abilities of a man and is to some extent determined by the tension of the penis, the speed of appearance of an erection, the duration of sexual intercourse and its normal course, and in a wider sense - the very ability to have a normal sex life. A man's potential cannot be identified with the rhythm 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 it 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.
In relation to women, the term "potency" is almost never used and its definition has no unequivocal formulation.
A healthy man retains the ability to have full sexual intercourse until death, and unlike women, menopause in men is purely pathological.
Constant inability to have full sexual intercourse can be a sign of one of the forms of impotence.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a disorder of sexual function, due to which a man cannot achieve enlargement of the penis volume, its hardening and straightening, as well as maintaining an erection of the penis for a sufficient period of time for a sufficient duration of sexual intercourse in full. This is one of the sexual dysfunction that is found in men.
Medical symptoms
Erectile dysfunction is a man's persistent inability to fully consume sexual intercourse. The absence of any component determines the impossibility of full sexual intercourse and gradually leads to a violation of the remaining components. Most often this is due to erectile dysfunction or ejaculation.
Disorders of the sexual function are usually not independent diseases, but exist and develop as concomitant diseases. Thus, erectile dysfunction can occur in endocrine disorders such as diabetes and hypogonadism, or it can be associated with various urological diseases, lesions 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 what is known as psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
There are psychological, organic, and mixed erectile dysfunction. While various mental health problems were previously considered to be the main cause of their occurrence, this opinion has now changed. It has been shown that erectile dysfunction is organic in 80% of cases and occurs as a complication of various somatic diseases.
Signs of psychogenic erectile dysfunction are:
- Sudden onset of illness.
- Have relationship problems.
- The presence of nocturnal spontaneous erections.
- Erection problems are sporadic.
- Restoring a normal erection after eliminating an external problem.
When erectile dysfunction is caused by organic causes, it is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Gradual onset of the disease
- Lack of spontaneous nocturnal erections
- Normal libido and ejaculation
- Systematic erectile dysfunction
For most people, sexual relationships are a very sensitive issue, so men with erectile dysfunction tend to explain the problem through external factors and often try to hide it entirely. Although erectile dysfunction can be cured with medication in 95% of cases, only 10% of men with erectile dysfunction see a doctor.
The sexual partner can help a man overcome the psychological barrier, but only a doctor can determine effective methods of treatment.
erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is usually diagnosed when a man is unable to maintain an erection for more than 25% of the sex he attempts. Research has shown that more than 150 million men over 40 worldwide have this disorder.
Clinical diagnostics
To determine the causes of erectile dysfunction, diagnostics are required to rule out or confirm serious diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypogonadism, prolactinoma.
Treatment options for erectile dysfunction depend on the cause. All methods of treating impotence are divided into conservative and operative.
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 because of the high efficiency of drug therapy. Surgical methods are used in extreme cases, when conservative treatment does not bring the desired results and with certain indications.
In any case, when potency problems arise, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help without prejudice and without hesitation, as more serious pathological conditions are often the basis of sexual dysfunctions.
