It is believed that potency problems at the age of 40 begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men of this age have already taken place as fathers, specialists and husbands. But not everyone feels positive emotions, feels healthy and happy. Nevertheless, around the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics indicate that in about 50% of men, it is at the age of forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are noticed. It also negatively affects the psychological state, often men worry about depression. But violation or even complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a condemnation for impotence. You just need to find the causes of violations and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of Sexual Dysfunction in Men
Experts note that potency after 40 years in men deteriorates mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. It is a purely male hormone responsible for libido and sexual function, ie an erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable compared to that of women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to impregnate women even at a very old age.

But the modern way of life and the negative impact of external factors have a detrimental effect on health. As a result, testosterone is not so actively produced, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics decrease.
In total, several factors affect the potency of a man. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medication, which is carried out by a man without the recommendations or control of doctors. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect male potency. It is also harmful to mindlessly take drugs for the treatment of blood vessels. Such drugs reduce the functions of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- The 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, this causes a disruption 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 in the gonad are observed. As you have understood, this does nothing good for potency;
- Overweight in men. Excess weight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalances. A large amount of fatty tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that the first signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities or prefer unwanted fatty foods. In some cases, it is enough just to normalize a healthy diet, to abandon bad habits, in order to restore the old quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, various reasons can lead to a decrease in potency after 40 years. The best solution is therefore to prevent their appearance or to treat them as soon as possible.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to complete loss of sexual function.
But men do not always pay attention to their own health. Only relevant signs indicating the development of impotence, that is, a severe violation of erectile function, can prompt them to consult a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistence of symptoms will lead to 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 decreases even to a mild level.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then among the main ones it is worth highlighting the following:
- Absence of complete erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not hard enough. This condition is observed during the entire sexual intercourse;
- An erection occurs unstable, at times it can weaken significantly, but then returns to its previous level;
- The man is unable to have sex. Although arousal is present, an erection still does not occur;
- It takes a long time to raise a limb. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved within seconds. If there are signs of impotence developing, the erection requires much longer and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and excitement is at a high level. It is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathologies that can quickly lead to a loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure in having sex. Often men after 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but 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 is a completely normal age when 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 is no difficulty with the arousal process.
Impotence, that is to say the total loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is a rarity. It only happens when a man is unaware of the presence of problems and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the power really won't come back.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to resort to taking potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erection can be useful to you in 20 years, when potency begins to fade 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 medication without first diagnosing problems with impotence. Before seeing a doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful foods reduce potency, while healthy healthy foods normalize it. So, in order to maintain and improve potency, erectile function, you need to eat right;
- Play sports (without excessive physical exertion, which only worsens potency). For power, jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are helpful;
- Exercise regularly to gain strength. There are a number of exercises designed specifically to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start them after consulting a specialist;
- Abandon bad habits categorically. Everyone knows their harmful effect on male potency;
- Diversify your sex life in some way. We talk about role-playing, using toys. A man must arouse interest in sex, which will positively affect potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly 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 paying attention to the problems of his own health. There are also factors beyond the control of men, with which modern medicine helps to cope for the most part.
