The sexual activity of the stronger sex decreases with age, which is associated with the aging of the body. Unfortunately, it is inevitable. This leads to a common misconception about not having sex after a certain age. Many abandon privacy. Potency in men at age 60 does not go away. It can and should be compatible.
Intimate life after sixty
The production of sperm and testosterone in the stronger sex decreases in their forties. This only leads to some changes in sex life:
- After 60 years, only 7-10% of men become impotent, but they can provide satisfaction to their partner in other ways. Otherwise, refusing to have sex or reducing sex is an exclusively individual choice.
- Potency in 70 years completely disappears by 20%, but healthy men are capable of intercourse, receiving full pleasure, with a frequency of up to 2 times a week.
Lack of attraction and libido in men in their sixties is not the norm, but evidence of health problems. Measures taken correctly can normalize erectile function at any age.
The reasons for the decrease in power after 60
Intimate problems are natural, physiological, and pathological. The first group includes age-related changes:
- erect phallus becomes smaller;
- the scrotal skin sags, losing its former elasticity;
- a productive erection requires more time and effort;
- testicles (testes) shrink, sink;
- The penis falls sharply after ejaculation.
There are no direct prerequisites for derating. The following factors contribute to the problem:
- Bad habits. Nicotine, alcohol poisons the body, inflicts a strong 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 a congenital defective metabolism occurs only in a small percentage of people, and in the rest it is caused by an unhealthy diet, a sedentary lifestyle.
- Hypertension. It leads to fragility of blood vessels, ischemia of the pelvic organs.
- Prostatitis. The main culprit for a decrease in potency after 60 years in 70% of the stronger sex, urination problems. The earlier you start treatment, the faster your recovery will be.
- Pathology. Erectile dysfunction develops due to endocrine gland diseases (hypothyroidism, hypogonadism), pyelonephritis, urolithiasis, orchitis, cryptorchidism, epididymitis.
The causes of erectile dysfunction, as you can see, are not related at all to age, but to real health problems, a wrong lifestyle.
When should I sound the alarm?
The signs of power decrease are:
- inability to maintain intimacy between 1 and 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.
The improvement of potency in men after 60-70 years should begin with the diagnosis of pathology:
- Spermogram. Determines the motility and vitality of the sperm.
- ultrasound. It is performed for the pelvic organs due to the absence / presence of pathologies.
- Examination of the prostate. It is done rectally, it allows to exclude / confirm prostatitis.
- General blood tests and PSA. They allow you to determine various pathologies, as well as diabetes mellitus.
- Study of prostate juice. It is prescribed to detect prostatitis, other diseases of peristalsis.
You cannot delay visiting a specialist. Only an accurate determination of the cause allows you to develop the correct approach.
Greater potency in men after 60
Improving sexual activity is possible with the right approach. The main thing is to have a corresponding wish. The older a man becomes, the more effort must be made. An integrated approach is required:
- review the diet;
- increase physical activity;
- take special medications;
- Treat detected pathologies.
The last point refers to those cases in which the examination showed the presence of certain pathologies.
Proper nutrition
Start by avoiding harmful products:
- fatty pork, beef, lamb, causing atherosclerosis, poor 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 in blood vessels;
- sausages, smoked and salty products that adversely affect the metabolism in the body;
- muffins and breads made from whole grains, white flour, causing a set of fatty dough, consisting mainly of fast carbohydrates and empty calories.
The main emphasis should be on plant products that contain fiber, which allows the body to eliminate toxins and toxins from the body. The diet must contain:
- red fish, shrimp and other aphrodisiac shellfish;
- walnuts, almonds, pistachios, hazelnuts, but no more than 2-3 tablespoons per day due to 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 little, do not overeat, try to count the calories. The latter is especially important for those who tend to be overweight and struggle with excess fat.
Physical activity
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, and norepinephrine, which block the synthesis of testosterone. Another reason is that not all people of this age can boast of excellent health.
The sedentary lifestyle is also not allowed. This will lead to stagnant processes, a rapid series of extra pounds with all the consequent negative consequences. The most suitable type of activity will be walking in the open air, jogging, exercising, swimming. The classes must be accompanied by a clear control of the pulse, pressure, heartbeat.
A Kegel exercise works fine. It does not require any serious stress, allows you to strengthen the pelvic organs, improve blood circulation in the cavity of the penis. This contributes to a longer and more stable erection.
Treatment of pathological processes
Don't self-diagnose and heal. Otherwise, instead of improving potency to 70, you can cause irreparable damage to health. Diagnosis and therapy must be prescribed by a specialist. Some medications can cope with the disease, but inhibit erection, so an alternative or supportive therapy can be chosen that allows a man over 60 to be deprived of intimacy.
Caution should be exercised even when using multiple potency pathogens. After 60 and especially 70 years, more caution is necessary to avoid unnecessary stress on the heart and to prevent sudden increases in pressure. This must be taken into account, avoiding unjustified and dangerous experiments with your health.
