Erectile dysfunction is considered one of the most pressing problems faced by men over 35 years of age.
According to statistical studies and the results of sociological surveys, it has been found that more than 30% of men suffer from complete chili partial potency. However, only 5% of men seek help from specialists for such a sensitive problem. Most often, men who experience problems during intercourse try to solve the problem themselves by taking erection-enhancing drugs, which are not able to eliminate the cause of potency, but only stimulate sexual excitement during intercourse.
Such "treatment" methods worsen the main cause of impotence, as a result of which many complications can arise, manifested as a complete lack of potency, infertility and other health problems that will not allow a man to live a full sexual life.
There are many reasons that prevent a man from having sex, all of them can develop at a physiological, psychological or pathological level.
The main causes of potency
Erectile dysfunction is nothing but a reflection of a man's physical or psychological condition. The whole body is involved in the process of sexual arousal. The brain is considered responsible for the process that transmits impulses throughout the body, resulting in increased blood flow in the pelvic organs and increased erection. Often, the cause of potency is cumulative causes that combine several problems.
Potency problems can be caused by the following negative factors:
- Psychogenic.
- Neurogenic.
- Hormonal.
- Blood vessels;
- Medication use;
- External factors.
Considering the individuality of each male body, the cause of impotence may be other factors, but regardless of the cause, it is necessary to identify and eliminate it, which will help the man to restore sexual excitement and strengthen the erection.
Causes of psychogenic potency

- stress, depression, neurosis, feeling of fear;
- low self-esteem;
- asthenoneurotic syndrome;
- childhood psychological trauma;
- unsuccessful first sexual intercourse;
- problems in the relationship with the partner, lack of love, trust and misunderstandings.

- developmental abnormalities of the central nervous system;
- infectious processes in the spinal cord;

- diabetes;
- hyperprolactinemia;
- thyroid pathology.
Hormonal imbalance in the body can cause infertility.

How to help a man?
In order to help a man solve potency problems, it is necessary to determine the reason that provoked the violation. If the reason lies in the psychological state of the man's health, then you should contact a psychologist or a sexual partner who could restrain the person and help him overcome difficulties.
If the reason lies in the man's state of health and the presence of concomitant diseases in the anamnesis, then the help of a medical specialist is necessary. It is possible to increase potency and get rid of complexes only after removing the source of the disease, which negatively affects the male urogenital system.
