The sexual activity of the stronger sex decreases over the years, which is associated with aging of the body. Unfortunately, it is inevitable. This leads to a common misconception about not having sex after a certain age. Many give up on intimacy. Potency in men in 60 does not go away. It can and should be supported.
Intimate life after sixty
The production of sperm and testosterone in the stronger sex decreases upon reaching the age of forty. This only leads to some changes in sex life:
- After 60 years, only 7-10% of men become impotent, but they are able to bring satisfaction to their partner in other ways. For the rest, refusing to have sex or reducing sexual intercourse is an exclusively individual choice.
- Potency in 70 years completely disappears in 20%, but healthy men are capable of coitus, getting full pleasure, with a frequency of up to 2 times a week.
Lack of attraction and libido in men who are in their sixties is not the norm, but evidence of health problems. Correctly taken measures can normalize erectile function at any age.
The reasons for the decrease in potency after 60
Intimate problems are natural, physiological and pathological. The first group includes age-related changes:
- erect phallus becomes smaller;
- the skin on the scrotum sags, losing its former elasticity;
- a productive erection takes more time and effort;
- testicles (testes) decrease, sag;
- The penis drops sharply after ejaculation.
There are no direct prerequisites for reducing potency. The following factors contribute to the problem:
- Bad habits. Nicotine and alcohol poison the body, cause a serious blow to the circulatory system, which leads to stagnant processes, poor blood circulation in the cavernous and spongy bodies of the penis.
- Overweight. Obesity against the background of congenital improper metabolism occurs in only a few percent of people, and in the rest it is provoked by an improper diet, a sedentary lifestyle.
- Hypertension. Leads to fragility of blood vessels, ischemia of the pelvic organs.
- Prostatitis. The main culprit of a decrease in potency after 60 years in 70% of the stronger sex, problems with urination. The sooner you start treatment, the faster your recovery will come.
- Pathology. Erectile dysfunction develops due to diseases of the endocrine gland (hypothyroidism, hypogonadism), pyelonephritis, urolithiasis, orchitis, cryptorchidism, epididymitis.
The causes of erectile dysfunction, as you can see, are connected not at all with age, but with real health problems, an incorrect lifestyle.
When should you sound the alarm?
Signs of decreased potency are:
- inability to maintain intimacy at around 1-2 times a week;
- lack of morning erection, which is the main indicator of dysfunction;
- there is no nocturnal erection, without which it is impossible to speak of normal reproductive function.
Improvement of potency in men after 60-70 years should begin with the diagnosis of pathology:
- Spermogram. Determines the motility and vitality of sperm.
- ultrasound. It is carried out for the pelvic organs for the absence / presence of pathologies.
- Examination of the prostate. It is performed rectally, allows to exclude / confirm prostatitis.
- General and PSA blood tests. They allow you to determine various pathologies, as well as diabetes mellitus.
- Study of prostate juice. It is prescribed for the detection of prostatitis, other diseases of peristalsis.
You cannot delay visiting a specialist. Only a precise determination of the cause can develop the right approach.
Increased potency in men after 60
Enhancing sexual activity is possible thanks to the right approach. The main thing is to have a corresponding desire. The older a man gets, the more efforts have to be made. An integrated approach is required:
- revise the diet;
- increase physical activity;
- take special medications;
- Treat detected pathologies.
The last point concerns those cases when the examination showed the presence of certain pathologies.
Proper nutrition
Start by avoiding harmful products:
- fatty pork, beef, lamb, causing atherosclerosis, violation of the blood supply to the pelvic organs;
- sour cream, milk, cream with a high percentage of fat for the reason described above;
- fast food that increases cholesterol, promotes the formation of lipid plaques on the blood vessels;
- sausage, smoked and salted products that negatively affect the metabolism in the body;
- muffins and breads made from whole grains, white flour, provoking a set of fat mass, consisting mainly of fast carbohydrates and empty calories.
The main emphasis should be on plant products containing fiber, which allows the body to rid the body of toxins and toxins. The diet must contain:
- red fish, shrimps and other aphrodisiac seafood;
- walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, but not more than 2-3 tablespoons per day due to the high calorie content;
- bananas, pomegranates, lemons, figs, oranges, grapes;
- low-fat dairy products, chicken and quail eggs;
- legumes, potatoes, turnips, horseradish;
- onions, garlic, herbs;
- natural honey.
Replace white bread and baked goods with whole grains. You need to eat fractionally, do not overeat, try to count calories. The latter is especially important for those who are inclined to be overweight, struggling with excess fat.
Physical Activity
In order to maintain men's health after 60 years, it is necessary to observe the golden mean. Excessive exercise has a negative impact on health and potency. This is due to the release of cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine, which block testosterone synthesis. Another reason is that not everyone at this age can boast of excellent health.
It is also impossible to switch to a sedentary lifestyle. This will lead to stagnant processes, a quick set of extra pounds with all the ensuing negative consequences. The most suitable type of activity will be walking in the fresh air, jogging, exercising, swimming. Classes must be accompanied by a clear control of the pulse, pressure, heartbeat.
A Kegel exercise works well. It does not require any serious stress, allows you to strengthen the pelvic organs, improve the blood circulation in the penis cavity. This contributes to a longer and more stable erection.
Treatment of pathological processes
Do not self-diagnose and heal. Otherwise, instead of improving potency at 70, you can cause irreparable damage to health. The diagnosis and therapy should be prescribed by a specialist. Some drugs are able to cope with the disease, but they inhibit the erection, so an alternative or supportive therapy can be chosen, which allows a man over 60 to be deprived of intimacy.
Caution must be observed even when using various potency pathogens. After 60, and especially 70 years of age, it is necessary to exercise increased caution in order to avoid unnecessary stress on the heart and prevent pressure surges. This must be taken into account, avoiding unjustified and dangerous experiments with your health.
