It is believed that problems with potency begin at the age of 40 due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already become fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone experiences positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. However, by the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics show that around 50% of men already notice the first signs of problems with erectile function by the age of forty. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men are worried about depression. But the violation or even complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a punishment for impotence. You just need to find the causes of the violation and take serious care of your health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that after the age of 40 men's potency deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone that is responsible for libido and sexual function, i. e. erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to impregnate women even in extreme old age.

But the modern way of life and the negative influence of external factors have a bad effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not produced as actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, there are several factors that affect a man's potency. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medication, carried out by a man without the recommendations or control of a doctor. This especially applies to hormonal drugs that affect male potency. Taking drugs for the treatment of blood vessels is also harmful. Such drugs reduce the functions of the human body to produce testosterone on its own;
- Absence of a regular sex life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is absent from a man's life for too long, it causes a disturbance in the work of blood circulation, the functions of the prostate and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Because of them, degenerative processes of the gonads are observed. As you understand, this does not bring anything good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess body weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalance. A large amount of fatty tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to that of testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the earliest signs of impotence in men occur when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer junk fatty food. In some cases, it is enough just to normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits, in order to restore the previous quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, various reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent their occurrence or treat them in the earliest stages.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to a complete loss of sexual function.
But men do not always pay due attention to their own health. Only relevant signs that indicate the development of impotence, that is, serious impairment of erectile function, can encourage them to consider visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to a complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you will have to take much more serious measures. That is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency drops even to a slight level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then the following should be highlighted among the main ones:
- Lack of full erection. When he is aroused, a man feels that his penis has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed during the entire sexual relationship;
- The erection is unstable, at certain moments it can significantly weaken, but then it returns to its previous level;
- A man is unable to have intercourse. Although the arousal is present, the erection still does not come;
- It takes a long time to upload a member. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a few seconds. If there are signs of developing impotence, the erection requires much more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not come, although everything is normal with the erection and excitement is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can soon lead to the loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure from sex. Often, men after the age of 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but it is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a completely normal age at which erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex starts to bring pleasure again and there are no difficulties with the arousal process.
Impotence, i. e. complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is rare. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of a problem and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the potency will not really return.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to take potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when the potency starts to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to improve potency, only a specialist will tell you after the examination. Under no circumstances should you start taking any medication without first diagnosing your impotence problem. Before visiting the doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful food reduces potency, while healthy and wholesome food normalizes it. So, to maintain and improve potency, erectile function, you should eat right;
- Do sports (without excessive physical effort, which only worsens potency). Jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful for potency;
- Exercise regularly for potency. There are a number of sets of exercises designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Give up categorically bad habits. Everyone knows about their harmful effect on male potency;
- Diversify your sex life somehow. We are talking about role playing, using toys. A man should increase his interest in sex, which will have a positive effect on potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate honestly with a psychologist if potency problems have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The preservation of male power depends only on him and on attention to the issues of his own health. There are also factors beyond men's control, most of which modern medicine can deal with.
