Potency in men includes such important characteristics as: the degree of tension of the penis, the speed of erection detection, the course of sexual intercourse itself and its duration.
It is well known that the ability to leave offspring at any time and to father a family was considered to be one of the most important opportunities given to man by nature.
Poor potential can be not only the result of a psychological disorder, but also the result of various diseases.
Concept of norm. Men's sexual abilities
It should be noted that in sexology, the quantitative characteristics of the components of "male" strength are not established. 5 minutes, while the total amount of friction during coitus is equal to 50-60. However, these are not the norm values, since in some men sexual intercourse lasts 30-40 minutes, reaching 300 or more frictions.
Good potential is characterized by the following criteria:
- Strong sexual desire and desire.
- A strong and full erection that promotes ejaculation and orgasm.
How to restore and maintain masculine strength?
To prevent the development of erectile dysfunction you need:
- Follow a healthy lifestyle, eat right and regularly, play sports, take care of your health.
- Do not smoke, abuse alcohol and do not use drugs.
- Do not use medications that could cause erectile dysfunction, or use them only strictly as prescribed by your doctor, and schedule an appointment with their instructions for use.
- Have a regular sex life, without prolonged abstinence and sexual excesses.
- Be sure to consult a urologist if you have an injury to the pelvis, perineum, if you are going to have surgery on a small pelvis, if you have diabetes or hypertension.
Potential is the body’s ability to have sex. In sexology, the term potential usually refers to male sexuality. Thus, potential determines a man's sexual abilities and to some extent characterizes the tension of the penis, the speed of erection, the duration of sexual intercourse and its normal course, and in a broad sense - the ability to have a very normal sex life. A man's potential can not be determined by the rhythm of his sexual activity, since a man's sexual ability may not be related to the frequency of his sexual activities. Also, under no circumstances should it be identified with the intensity of his sexual desire, which in some forms of erectile dysfunction not only does not weaken but, conversely, may increase.
As for women, the concept of "potential" is almost never used and its definition has no unambiguous wording.
A healthy man maintains full sexual intercourse until death and, unlike a woman, menopause has purely pathological causes.
Persistent inability to have full-fledged sexual intercourse can be a sign of one form of impotence.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence is a disorder of sexual function in which a man is unable to achieve an increase in the volume of the penis, to tighten and straighten it, as well as to maintain an erection of the penis for a sufficient period of time. Sufficient duration of sexual intercourse in full. This is one of the sexual dysfunctions in men.
Medical symptoms
Erectile dysfunction is a man’s persistent inability to complete sexual intercourse perfectly. The absence of any of the components determines the impossibility of full-fledged sexual intercourse and gradually leads to the disruption of the other components. Most often it is caused by erectile dysfunction or ejaculation.
Usually, sexual function disorders are not independent diseases, but exist and develop as concomitant. Thus, erectile dysfunction can occur with endocrine disorders such as diabetes and hypogonadism, or be associated with various urological diseases in the cerebral cortex of sexual function regulation centers. Erectile dysfunction caused by these causes is classified as organic.
In many cases, erectile dysfunction is associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. This is the so-called psychogenic erectile dysfunction.
There is psychological, organic and mixed erectile dysfunction. If previously various psychological problems were considered as the main reason for its origin, now this opinion has changed. Erectile dysfunction has been shown to be organic in 80% of cases and arises as a complication of various somatic diseases.
Signs of psychogenic erectile dysfunction include:
- Sudden onset of the disease.
- Relationship problems.
- Existence of nocturnal spontaneous erection.
- Erection problems are sporadic.
- Restore a normal erection after eliminating the external problem.
If erectile dysfunction is caused by organic causes, it is usually accompanied by the following symptoms:
- Gradual onset of the disease
- Lack of spontaneous nocturnal erection
- Normal libido and ejaculation
- Systemic erectile dysfunction
For most people, sex is a very delicate topic, so men with erectile dysfunction tend to explain the problem by external factors, often trying to hide it. Although in 95% of cases erectile dysfunction can be cured with medication, only 10% of men who have difficulty with potency seek medical attention for treatment.
A sexual partner can help a man overcome a psychological barrier, but only a doctor can prescribe effective methods of treatment.
Erectile dysfunction
A diagnosis of erectile dysfunction is usually made when a man is unable to maintain an erection in more than 25% of sexual intercourse. According to research, more than 150 million men over the age of 40 worldwide suffer from this disorder.
Clinical diagnosis
To determine the causes of erectile dysfunction, it is necessary to make a diagnosis to rule out or confirm such serious diseases as diabetes, 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 become less commonly used due to the high efficacy of drug therapy. Surgical methods are used in extreme cases when conservative treatment does not give the desired result and certain instructions.
In any case, if problems arise with regard to potential, it is necessary to seek qualified medical help without prejudice and hesitation, as often more serious pathological conditions are the basis of sexual dysfunction.
