For men unresponsive to pharmacotherapy, a special vacuum constriction device can be used to increase potency. It is a hand-held device that creates negative pressure around the penis. This leads to passive filling of lacunal spaces and erection. Supporting the erect penis is facilitated by a rubber cuff placed around its base. Use is possible within 30 minutes, no more, to avoid skin necrosis. Men taking anticoagulants should use the device with extreme caution.
In some cases, when conservative treatment methods do not help, surgical procedures are indicated, including penile prosthesis. Among several types of implants, a three-component inflatable prosthesis is preferred, which includes two implanted tubes connected to a pump located in the scrotum and a reservoir in the preperitoneal space.
Special instructions for men who use methods to enhance potency.
Proper nutrition
A number of measures are required to restore potency after 60 years. Proper nutrition plays one of the leading roles. When creating a healthy menu, it is necessary to take into account that, as it ages, it needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude eggs, fatty meat and cream from the diet. The following products help restore potency:
- nuts (Brazilian, pistachio, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruit;
- beans and cereals - they will be especially useful if you have diabetes;
- green vegetables belonging to the cruciferous family: different varieties of cabbage, asparagus, onions, peppers);
- fresh fruit and berries - consume 0. 2 kg per day;
- fatty sea fish, which contains a lot of Omega-3 acid;
- fermented milk products, cheeses.
The following products help restore potency.
Reasons for weakened potency
There are no men who would come to terms with their sexual impotence. There are a number of factors that worsen the situation and increase the risk of reduced erection and impotence in old age:
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- smoking;
- poor nutrition;
- alcohol abuse;
- stress;
- endocrine diseases;
- sedentary work that leads to disruption of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
- psychological factor;
- problems with the heart, blood vessels;
- diseases of the kidneys, genitourinary system;
- overweight;
- neurological diseases.
after ejaculation, the erection withdraws very quickly; .
Prevention
Age-related changes in the "work" of the penis cannot be prevented or stopped - only controlled so that they have minimal impact on personal life. For men who want to preserve the youth of their reproductive system until old age, it is enough to take care of its health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relationships full of infections;
- do not practice "sex marathons" with several partners or one, but all night long without a break;
- do not cold the genitals:
- do not isolate them excessively (this leads to infertility);
- protect the scrotal area from injury, including lifting excessive weight.
The tips described in the article will help you restore a normal sex life: 2-4 sexual relations per month, that's more than enough at this age.
The role of routine and sexual activity
Male strength can decrease due to poor diet. It is very important for the elderly to follow a special diet. The menu should contain:
- egg yolk;
- all kinds of nuts;
- carrot;
- sea food;
- greenery;
- cabbage;
- celery.
Among the aphrodisiac foods are peanuts, almonds and pistachios, which are not only very tasty, but also useful for the whole body. These products saturate the body with vitamins and useful microelements.
You should do your best in the fight against excess weight. It does not help to increase potency in any way. The caloric content of the diet can even be slightly reduced compared to the age norm: this will not cause harm.
In old age, a regular sex life is extremely important. Moreover, you should never stop. Nature designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity should be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction is caused by congestion in the prostate (which in turn is caused by long-term sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life takes place without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes a minor interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes the sensations during sex more acute.
Physical exercises significantly increase blood circulation in the pelvic area. This can increase potency, as sufficient blood circulation also stimulates the production of male sex hormones. On the contrary, if a man does not strain his muscles, he turns out to be very weak in bed.
Therefore, increasing potency with the help of drugs in older men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
As paradoxical as it sounds, regular sexual intercourse also helps improve potency.
In youth, men usually do not have problems with erection. This is due to the ability to respond to any sexual arousal that does not require additional stimulation.
In theory, men of all ages should maintain normal sexual activity, however, due to accumulated diseases and problems with blood vessels, erectile dysfunction occurs.
The regularity of sexual activity is just as important as its moderation. This means that sex should be regular, preferably without frequent changes of sexual partners and without long periods of abstinence.
The most interesting thing is that a short break in sexual activity, on the contrary, stimulates desire, improves erection and increases libido.
In that case, it is best to combine a healthy lifestyle with medication.
Recipes of traditional medicine
When restoring sexual function in men over the age of sixty, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - plant-based medicines, not synthetic ones. Of course, their action takes place more slowly, but the effect is more permanent and lasting. Moreover, any medicine can be prepared at home or bought in a pharmacy in ready form. The most popular drugs for increasing libido and eliminating erectile dysfunction are the following:
- alcoholic tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seeds;
- decoction of ordinary Dubrovnik;
- bee bread - unprocessed plant pollen;
- asparagus and European vetch seeds;
- alcoholic tincture of male musk deer brook.
A few hundred years ago, the following products became popular among men:
- decoctions of medicinal plants - chamomile, thyme, oak bark, yarrow;
- ginger tea with honey;
- crushed pumpkin seeds with liquid bee product.
Foods like honey, dried fruits, garlic and onions will help improve sexual function and increase sexual desire for free. To enhance the effect, you can grind figs, walnuts, poppy seeds, prunes, sesame seeds in a blender and take a spoonful of the finished mixture three times a day.

Causes of decline in potency due to aging
Persistent or situational problems with potency can occur at any age due to a large number of different factors. These include disorders in the functioning of the neurovascular and hormonal systems of the body, chronic diseases, surgical operations in the pelvic region, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. The decrease in potency with age is primarily caused by inhibition of gonadal function and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Erections at the age of 60 become irregular due to age-related hormonal changes.
The gonads gradually stop working, there is a decrease in the size of the testicles and a decrease in libido. During sex, disorders in erectile function occur more and more often, and difficulties with arousal or ejaculation also occur. For a satisfactory continuation and completion of sexual intercourse, additional stimulation is needed, a man gets physically tired faster.
The following factors can have a negative impact on potency after 60 years:
- decrease in testosterone levels caused by natural causes, loss of gonadal function. The time and speed of the reduction of this hormone depends on the person's inheritance and lifestyle. Some people have problems with potency after the age of 40, and some people remain sexually healthy even in old age;
- presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of venous walls, tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This disease complex directly affects the filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis during erection and ensures its stability;
- hormonal diseases that lead to the degradation of the nervous system and testosterone imbalance. For example, diabetes mellitus has a similar set of symptoms and negatively affects the patient's erectile function;
- diseases that have a destructive effect on the nervous tissue of the brain and spinal cord, injuries of the spinal column;
- inflammatory diseases of the male genitourinary system, including infectious diseases, urethritis, aging associated with the prostate;
- existing neoplasms in the organs of the genitourinary system, malignant tumors, prostate hyperplasia, adenomas that compress blood vessels and interfere with normal blood circulation;
- systematic abuse of alcohol, tobacco or intoxicating substances, which negatively affect the entire organism as a whole, worsen the work of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- lack of necessary physical activity, sedentary work, creation of blood stagnation in the pelvic area and deterioration of the condition of blood vessels;
- constant use of drugs that directly or indirectly inhibit erectile function, for example, tranquilizers or antidepressants;
- chronic stress, fatigue, non-observance of sleep, rest and nutrition, constant psychological tension due to personal qualities or social situation. Phobic and anxiety disorders, depression and other similar diseases.
All these factors can aggravate the onset of gonadal decline and lead to erectile dysfunction at a much earlier age. The loss of a full sexual life can happen up to the age of 40 if a man does not take care of his health, does not play sports, eat poorly and abuse harmful substances. And if you follow certain rules and a diet, it is possible to preserve potency in the long term without the use of additional stimulants.
Society believes that people over the age of 60 have completely lost interest in sex life, but this is not always true. Libido can be preserved, the need for sexual intercourse remains, a clear, harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply disturbed. The erection mechanism begins to break down due to testosterone deficiency and vascular degradation. This leads to failure during sex, starting a circle of psychological fears and complexes, which often force a man to give up sexual activity.

What is potency
In the male body, the main hormone is testosterone: it is responsible for the appearance of male characteristics, stamina and sperm production. A man's mood depends on the level of testosterone, but it is better known as the hormone that causes sexual desire and is indirectly responsible for a normal erection or potency. This term in a general sense reflects the ability of the male body to perform regular sexual relations (but not their frequency and the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- rush of blood into the cavernous bodies of the penis;
- its increase;
- the ability to maintain a long-term sexual relationship.
An older man may lose natural bodily functions due to:
- obesity;
- diabetes mellitus;
- suffered a stroke;
- heart and vascular pathologies;
- abuse of alcohol, nicotine;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- inflammatory processes and pathologies affecting the vessels of the penis;
- diseases of the central nervous system.
the ability to maintain a long-term sexual relationship.
Internal factors
The presence of chronic vascular diseases affects potency
Medical disorders that develop in older men and lead to impotence are often the result of internal factors. Among them:
- Pathologies of a cardiac nature - sexual functions directly depend on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, which supplies blood to the whole body.
- Hypertension - changes in blood pressure affect both the general condition and libido of a man.
- Diabetes mellitus - erectile dysfunction in older men with this disease is caused by the destructive effect of the disease on blood vessels and autonomic nerve endings, which are responsible for the normal passage of signals from the brain during the work of the genital organs.
- Prostatitis, a very common male disease these days, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only with urination, as in the famous advertisement, but also with erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalance is the lack of sex hormones, the level of which decreases significantly in old age, reduces sexual desire and reduces the possibility of sexual intercourse.
- Metabolic disorders - the imbalance of metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of drugs - the use of any drug by an elderly person, especially hormonal drugs, must be agreed with the attending physician.
Sometimes the solution to a problem is simply to worry less and rest more.
Psychological aspects
Unfortunately, there is no aging culture in our country. It is generally accepted that older people are no longer human at all. All that remains at their disposal is to quietly disappear, sitting on the bench at the entrance. Indeed, many after a certain age, especially when they stop going to work, focus their lives on their children or grandchildren, who do not have time to devote to retired relatives or sit in front of the television. Against the background of such a life poor in emotions, the loss of potency is experienced particularly acutely.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. At the age of 50-60, a person comes with a considerable amount of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time he is still intellectually and physically preserved. Now is the time to do what you never had time for:
- Master new knowledge: start learning languages, master the computer;
- Sports activities such as swimming, long walks, running and yoga can be chosen to suit any health condition;
- Discover new aspects of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will give you new sensations.
- The journey. Not everyone can afford trips around Europe, but you can visit friends in the neighboring town more often or go to a nearby forest to pick mushrooms.
This will allow you to fill your life with emotions and impressions, feel like an active, full member of society and think less about age and the changes it brings. Erectile disorders often occur under the influence of experiences, stress, even against the background of a normal physical state of the body.
Discover new aspects of sex.
Normal or pathological - is everything okay?
The first thing to do to determine whether the reproductive system is normal is to do a potency test, or self-diagnosis.
It's easy to do:
- The number of sexual acts in people over 60 is on average 1-2 per week. If a representative of the stronger half of humanity can maintain this level of sexual activity, everything is fine.
- Morning erection. A sustained morning erection is an indicator of sexual health. But its absence is not a sentence or an indicator.
- Nocturnal erection. Nocturnal erections also indicate normal reproductive function.
If only the morning erection disappears, there is no reason to panic, but when the night potency also disappears, there is reason to be cautious. To determine how things are at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and place it on the base of the penis at night. If in the morning the "product" remains intact and untouched, we can talk about pathology. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a doctor.
You should consult an andrologist. He will prescribe several diagnostic measures, including:
- Spermogram. It allows you to determine the motility of spermatozoa and the fertilizing properties of seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes the decrease in potency is caused by pathological reasons.
- Rectal digital examination of the prostate. To rule out prostatitis.
- Analysis of prostate juice. It also allows you to identify prostatitis and other diseases of the glandular organs.
- PSA blood test.
- General blood analysis. Necessary for determining sugar concentration. Diabetes is the enemy of men's health.
After completing these studies, a person will know for sure whether it is a norm or a pathology. The main thing is not to delay a visit to a specialist. The male body itself is quite fragile, and restoring sexual function in adulthood is even more difficult.

Reasons for a decrease in potency after 60 years
When a person reaches the age of 60, advanced age affects the functioning of his body. The metabolic process slows down, and various types of disorders appear in the internal organs. The genitourinary system is one of the most sensitive to these age-related disorders, which leads to a significant deterioration of potency.
The most common cause of the disease is the hormonal level that changes with age. In 60-year-olds, the amount of testosterone in the blood drops significantly, which leads to erectile dysfunction. All other pathological changes in the work of the endocrine system, especially if they are aggravated by diabetes of both types, lead not only to impaired vision, breathing or the functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases are traditionally at the top of the list of the most dangerous diseases affecting the elderly. These diseases can weaken the erection, because with poor blood circulation there is insufficient blood flow to the genital organ, and the functioning of the pelvic organs is significantly weakened.
Weak potency at the age of 60 can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. First, the work of the genital organs can be affected by various injuries and bruises, which can be especially painful in old age. Second, chronic problems with the spine worsen at this time, which can affect the functioning of the spinal cord and the nervous system as a whole.
The nervous system after 60 years of life needs rehabilitation. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition and personal troubles only make her weak. Lack of cerebral circulation, problems with the spinal cord, reduced muscle tone - all this negatively affects potency.
However, as medical practice and numerous scientific studies show, the problem is often rooted in the genitourinary system itself. Most often, people older than 60 are susceptible to inflammation of the prostate, suffer from adenoma, urethritis, and in addition, at this age there is a particularly high risk of developing genital cancer.
The above factors increase if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Poor diet, lack of physical activity and bad habits have a particularly harmful effect on the sexual health of the elderly. At this age, the immune system weakens, so often infectious and inflammatory diseases can have complications that affect the functioning of the genital organs, especially when it comes to sexually transmitted diseases.
However, they also have their contraindications, and their use in the presence of serious chronic diseases is undesirable.
What happens to potency at age 60?
Age-related changes in the male body affect not only the physical condition. Many begin to experience other difficulties that they simply did not notice in their younger years - most people notice that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline. Now on the counters of pharmacies and in the arsenal of traditional medicine there are many means that allow you to constructively fight against this disease.
Therefore, it is very important that every man starts taking care of his health, including androgenic health, from a young age. Many begin to feel other difficulties that they simply did not notice in their younger years; most people notice that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline.
