In men who do not respond to pharmacotherapy, a special vacuum constriction device can be used to increase potency. It is a manually operated device that creates negative pressure around the penis. This leads to passive filling of the gap spaces and an erection. Supporting an erect penis is made easier by a rubber sleeve around the base of the penis. It can be used within 30 minutes, no longer to avoid skin necrosis. The device should be used with great caution by men taking anticoagulants.
In some cases where conservative treatment methods do not help, surgical intervention, including penile prosthesis, is indicated. Among the various types of implants, the preferred one is a three-component inflatable prosthesis that includes two implanted tubes connected to a pump placed in the scrotum and a reservoir in the preperitoneal space.
Special instructions for men using methods to increase potency.
Right nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a number of measures are required. Proper nutrition plays one of the main roles. When putting together a healthy menu, it must be taken into account that as a man gets older, he needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude eggs, fatty meat and sour cream from the diet. The following products will help restore potency:
- Nuts (Brazilian, pistachios, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruits;
- Beans and grains – are particularly useful if you have diabetes;
- green vegetables from the cruciferous family: various types of cabbage, asparagus, onions, peppers);
- fresh fruits and berries – consume 0. 2 kg per day;
- Sea fish of fatty varieties, which contains a lot of omega-3 acid;
- fermented milk products, cheese.
The following products will help restore potency.
Reasons for weakened potency
There are no men who can come to terms with their sexual impotence. There are a variety of factors that aggravate the situation and increase the risk of reduced erection and impotence in old age:
- diabetes mellitus;
- Arteriosclerosis;
- Smoke;
- poor diet;
- alcohol abuse;
- Stress;
- endocrine diseases;
- sedentary work, which leads to disruption of blood circulation in the pelvic organs;
- psychological factor;
- problems with the heart, blood vessels;
- Diseases of the kidneys, genitourinary system;
- obesity;
- neurological diseases.
after ejaculation, the erection subsides very quickly;
prevention
Age-related changes in the "work" of the penis cannot be prevented or stopped - they can only be controlled so that they have minimal impact on personal life. For men who want to preserve the youthfulness of their reproductive system into old age, this is enoughto take care of your health from a young age:
- avoid intimate relationships fraught with infections;
- Do not practice "sex marathons" with several partners or one, but all night long without a break;
- Do not overcool the genitals:
- do not isolate them excessively (this leads to infertility);
- Protect the scrotum area from injury, including lifting excessive weights.
The tips described in the article will help restore normal sex life: 2-4 sexual intercourse per month, which is more than enough at this age.
The role of routine and sexual activity
Male strength can decrease due to poor nutrition. It is very important for older people to follow a special diet. The menu should contain:
- Egg yolk;
- all kinds of nuts;
- Carrot;
- Seafood;
- Green;
- cabbage;
- Celery.
Aphrodisiac foods include peanuts, almonds and pistachios, which are not only very tasty but also beneficial for the whole body. These products saturate the body with vitamins and useful microelements.
You should try your best to fight excess weight. It does not help in any way to increase potency. The calorie content of food can even be slightly reduced compared to the age norm: this will not do any harm.
A regular sex life is extremely important in old age. Furthermore, it never has to stop. Nature has designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity should be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to blockage of the prostate (and in turn occurs due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life passes without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes a small interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and enhances the sensations during sex.
Physical activity significantly increases blood circulation in the pelvic area. This can increase potency because 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 medication in older men is only possible on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
As paradoxical as it may sound, regular sexual intercourse also helps to improve potency.
At a young age, men generally do not have erection problems. 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 as important as its moderation. This means that sex should take place regularly, if possible 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 this case, it is best to combine a healthy lifestyle with taking medications.
Traditional medicine recipes
When restoring sexual function in men over the age of 60, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - herbal rather than synthetic drugs. Of course, their effect occurs more slowly, but the effect is more lasting and lasting. In addition, any medicine can be prepared at home or purchased in a finished form at a pharmacy. The most popular drugs to increase libido and eliminate erectile dysfunction are the following:
- Alcohol tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seeds;
- Decoction of ordinary Dubrovnik;
- Bee bread – unprocessed plant pollen;
- asparagus and dodder seeds;
- Alcohol tincture from the stream of a male musk deer.
Hundreds of years ago, the following products were very popular among men:
- Decoctions of medicinal herbs - chamomile, thyme, oak bark, yarrow;
- ginger tea with honey;
- crushed pumpkin seeds with liquid bee product.
Foods like honey, dry fruits, garlic and onions help improve sexual function and increase sexual desire for free. To enhance the effect, you can grind figs, walnuts, poppy seeds, prunes and sesame seeds in a blender and take a tablespoon of the finished mixture three times a day.

Causes of an age-related decrease in potency
Due to a variety of different factors, permanent or situational potency problems can occur at any age. These include dysfunctions of the body's neurovascular and hormonal systems, previous illnesses, surgical interventions in the pelvic area, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. A decrease in potency with increasing age is caused primarily by an inhibition of the function of the gonads and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Due to age-related hormonal changes, irregular erections occur after the age of 60.
The gonads gradually stop working, there is a reduction in the size of the testicles and a decrease in libido. Erectile dysfunction occurs more frequently during sex and there are difficulties with arousal or ejaculation. Additional stimulation is required for satisfactory continuation and completion of sexual intercourse; the man becomes physically tired more quickly.
The following factors can have a negative impact on potency after 60 years:
- Reduction in testosterone levels due to natural causes, loss of function of the gonads. The timing and speed of reduction of this hormone depends on a person's heredity and lifestyle. Some people have problems with potency after 40 years, for some, sexual health persists into old age;
- the presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of the venous walls, a tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This disease complex directly affects the filling of the erectile tissue of the penis during erection and ensuring its stability;
- hormonal diseases that lead to deterioration of the nervous system and testosterone imbalance. For example, diabetes mellitus has similar symptoms and has a negative impact on the patient's erectile function.
- Diseases that destroy the nervous tissue of the brain and spinal cord, injuries to the spine;
- inflammatory diseases of the male urogenital system, including infectious diseases, urethritis, age-related problems with the prostate;
- existing neoplasms in the organs of the urogenital system, malignant tumors, prostatic hyperplasia, adenomas that compress blood vessels and impair normal blood circulation;
- systematic abuse of alcohol, tobacco or narcotic drugs, which negatively affect the entire body, worsen the functioning of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- Lack of necessary physical activity, sedentary work, formation of blood congestion in the pelvic area and deterioration of the condition of blood vessels;
- constant use of medications that directly or indirectly inhibit erectile function, for example tranquilizers or antidepressants;
- chronic stress, fatigue, non-compliance with sleep, rest and nutrition, constant psychological tension due to personal qualities or social situation. Phobic and anxiety disorders, depression and other similar illnesses.
All of these factors can worsen the onset of gonadal atrophy and lead to erectile dysfunction at a much earlier age. The loss of a full-fledged sex life can occur up to the age of 40 if a man does not pay attention to his health, does not play sports, eats poorly and abuses harmful substances. And if you follow certain rules and diets, long-term preservation of potency is possible without the use of additional stimulants.
Society believes that people over 60 have completely lost interest in sex life, but this is not always true. The libido can certainly be preserved, the need for sexual intercourse remains, the clear, harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply disturbed. The erection mechanism begins to fail due to testosterone deficiency and vascular breakdown. This leads to failures in sex, a cycle of psychological fears and complexes is triggered, which often forces a man to give up sexual activity.

What is potency?
The most important hormone in a man's body is testosterone: it is responsible for the appearance of male characteristics, endurance and sperm production. A man's mood depends on testosterone levels, but it is better known as a hormone that causes sexual desire and is indirectly responsible for normal erection or potency. This term generally reflects the ability of a man's body to carry out regular sexual intercourse (but not their frequency and the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- a flow of blood to the erectile tissue of the penis;
- its increase;
- Ability to maintain long-term sexual intercourse.
An older man may lose his natural body functions for the following reasons:
- Obesity;
- diabetes mellitus;
- suffered a stroke;
- heart and vascular diseases;
- abuse of alcohol, nicotine;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- inflammatory processes and pathologies affecting the vessels of the penis;
- Central nervous system diseases.
Ability to maintain long-term sexual intercourse.
Internal factors
The presence of chronic vascular diseases affects potency
Medical disorders that occur in older men and lead to impotence are often the result of internal factors. Including:
- Pathologies of a cardiac nature – sexual functions directly depend on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, which supplies blood to the entire body.
- High blood pressure – Changes in blood pressure affect both a man’s general health and libido.
- Diabetes mellitus - erectile dysfunction in older men with this disease arises due to the destructive effect of the disease on the blood vessels and autonomic nerve endings that are responsible for the normal transmission of signals from the brain during the functioning of the sexual organs.
- Prostatitis, a very common men's disease today, causes the stronger sex not only difficulty in urinating, as in the famous commercial, but also in erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalances are defined as a lack of sex hormones, the levels of which decrease significantly with age, reducing sexual desire and reducing the ability to have sexual intercourse.
- Metabolic disorders – an imbalance in metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of medications – the use of any medications, especially hormonal medications, by an elderly person must be coordinated with the attending physician.
To solve the problem, sometimes it is enough to simply worry less and rest more.
Psychological aspects
Unfortunately, there is no culture of aging in our country. It is generally accepted that older people are no longer people at all. The only thing left for you to do is sit quietly on a bench at the entrance. In fact, after a certain age, especially when they no longer go to work, many people focus on their children or grandchildren, who do not have time to care for retired relatives or sit in front of the television. Against the background of such a life lacking in emotions, the loss of potency is experienced particularly clearly.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. By the age of 50-60, a man has a significant amount of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time remains mentally and physically preserved. Now it's time to do what you never had time for:
- Master new knowledge: start learning languages, master a computer;
- Sports activities such as swimming, long walks, running and yoga can be chosen to suit every health condition;
- Discover new facets of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will bring you new sensations.
- Travel. Not everyone can afford tours of Europe, but you can more often visit friends in a neighboring city 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-fledged member of society and think less about age and the changes associated with it. Erectile dysfunction often occurs under the influence of experiences and stress, even against the background of the normal physical condition of the body.
Discover new facets of sex.
Normal or pathological – is everything okay?
In order to determine whether the reproductive system is normal, a potency test, i. e. a self-diagnosis, must first be carried out.
It's easy:
- The average number of sexual acts in people over 60 is 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 need to panic, but if the nighttime potency also disappears, there is reason to be cautious. To determine what it looks like at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and put it on the base of the penis at night. If the "product" remains intact and intact in the morning, we can talk about pathology. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a doctor.
You should contact an andrologist. He will prescribe various diagnostic measures, including:
- Spermogram. Allows you to determine sperm motility and the fertilization properties of seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes a decrease in potency has pathological reasons.
- Rectal digital examination of the prostate. To rule out prostatitis.
- Analysis of prostate juice. It also allows you to detect prostatitis and other diseases of the glandular organ.
- PSA blood test.
- General blood analysis. Necessary for determining the 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 the visit to the specialist. The male body itself is quite fragile, and restoring sexual function in adulthood is even more difficult.

Reasons for reduced 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 all sorts of dysfunctions occur in the internal organs. The genitourinary system is one of the most sensitive to these age-related disorders, which leads to a significant deterioration in potency.
The most common cause of the disease is hormonal changes that change with age. In 60-year-olds, the amount of testosterone in the blood drops noticeably, leading to erectile dysfunction. All other pathological changes in the functioning of the endocrine system, especially when 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 have traditionally been at the top of the list of the most dangerous diseases affecting older people. These diseases can weaken an erection because if the blood circulation is poor, the sexual organ does not receive sufficient blood flow and the function of the pelvic organs is noticeably weakened.
Weak potency at the age of 60 can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. Firstly, the functioning of the sexual organs can be impaired by various injuries and bruises, which can be especially painful in old age. Secondly, chronic spinal problems 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 needs to be renovated. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition and personal problems only weaken them. Lack of cerebral circulation, problems with the spinal cord, reduced muscle tone - all this has a negative effect on potency.
However, as medical practice and numerous scientific studies show, the cause of the problem often lies in the urogenital system itself. Most often, people over 60 years old are prone to inflammation of the prostate, they suffer from adenomas, urethritis, and in addition, at this age the risk is, The risk of genital cancer is particularly high.
The above factors increase when you lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Poor diet, lack of exercise and bad habits have a particularly negative impact on the sexual health of older people. At this age, the immune system is weakened, so infectious and inflammatory diseases can often lead to complications that affect the functioning of the sexual organs, especially sexually transmitted diseases.
However, they also have contraindications and their use in serious chronic diseases is undesirable.
