Why potency decreases with age
There are a number of important points that lead to a decrease in a man's sexual function after 50-60 years:
- Low androgens (sex hormones). The peak of testosterone production occurs at the age of thirty - then the concentration of the hormone in the body begins to gradually decrease; this process is considered natural. The drop in androgen levels cannot be stopped, but timely attempts can be made to slow down the hormone deficiency.
- narrowing of the blood vessels. The older the person, the weaker the elasticity of the vessels; The age-related development of atherosclerosis also plays an important role – a phenomenon in which cholesterol builds up on the inner wall of the arteries and impedes normal blood flow. As a result, blood circulates more slowly in the body, reducing the blood supply to the penis. Cholesterol plaques not only increase the risk of erectile dysfunction, but also pose a risk of stroke and heart attack.
- Associated pathology. With age, the problem of cardiovascular pathology (for example, arterial hypertension), which also negatively affects the body's circulatory system, becomes more relevant. It is also worth mentioning the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus over the years, which also negatively affects the walls of blood vessels.
Rules for increasing potency after 50-60 years
To reduce the risk of developing erectile dysfunction, an integrated approach is required:
- It is necessary to radically reconsider the way of life. Be sure to limit alcohol consumption, quit smoking and shed extra pounds. Of great importance is healthy and full sleep - at least 7-8 hours a day. It is important to seek medical advice on all medications you are taking (if there is a comorbidity): Some medications have a side effect in the form of a decrease in male potency. Often the deterioration of men's health is observed with high cholesterol, depression and psychosis, as well as due to the use of certain antihypertensive drugs.
- Be sure to make time for physical activity! No need to spend hours in the gym - usually enough special physical exercises performed at home. Sporting activities improve blood circulation in the pelvic area, which means that the genitals are significantly better supplied.
- A physiological increase in testosterone levels can often be observed in stressful situations: for example, alternating showers are a good way of maintaining potency for many years. In contrast, a hot water bath has a negative effect on the level of androgens in the body.
- In some cases, a man has a special condition - mental erectile dysfunction, which can be based on negative sexual experiences. In such cases, it is important to be able to relax: use psychological counseling, light sedatives, meditation.
Note! Weight training is the most natural way to increase testosterone levels in men!
Drugs to increase potency
In addition to general recommendations and a number of measures, a positive effect of potency-enhancing drugs is also observed. These drugs help the body almost immediately and the effect lasts about 2-3 hours.
Note! Taking medication can be accompanied by side effects: headache, nasal congestion or dyspeptic disorders.

Phytotherapy for potency
Scientific studies indicate the positive effect of herbal medicine in preventing the development of erectile dysfunction:
- Ginseng. The herb reduces stress, increases endurance and concentration. In the genital area, it has a modulating effect on blood flow to the penis, prolongs the duration of an erection and increases libido. One capsule is used 2-3 times a day for about a month. The side effect is insomnia.
- Peruvian Maca (Meyen Beetle). The plant is rare, but very valuable: it contains amino acids, iron, magnesium and iodine in large quantities. In studies on rats, the drug significantly increased the sexual activity of the latter. Apply about 1 gram twice a day for two months.
- Yohimbine is a natural compound found in the bark of an evergreen West African tree. Activates nerve impulses to the genitals, dilates blood vessels and increases erection time. One tablet is used twice a day (no more than 10 weeks).
The effect of funds on health and body
The US Food and Drug Administration does not approve the use of herbal supplements.
However, men often use both herbal medicine and official drug treatment. Usually such therapy does not have any adverse effects on the body; in some cases there are headaches and insomnia.
Note! All medications must be taken in consultation with your doctor!
