For men who do not respond to drug therapy, a special vacuum constriction device may be used to increase potency. This is a manually operated device that creates negative pressure around the penis. This leads to passive filling of lacunar spaces and erection. Maintaining an erect penis is made easier by a rubber cuff placed around its base. Use is possible within 30 minutes, no more, to avoid skin necrosis. The device should be used with great caution by men taking anticoagulants.
In some cases, when conservative treatment methods are not enough, surgical interventions, including penile prostheses, are indicated. Among several types of implants, the preferred one is a three-component inflatable prosthesis, which includes two implanted tubes connected to a pump placed in the scrotum and a reservoir in the preperitoneal space.
Special instructions for men who use methods to improve potency.
Adequate nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a set of measures is necessary. Proper nutrition plays one of the main roles. When creating a healthy menu, you should take into account that as a man ages, he needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is necessary to remove eggs, fatty meat and sour cream from the diet. The following products help restore potency:
- nuts (Brazilian, pistachios, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruits;
- beans and cereals - will be particularly beneficial if you suffer from diabetes;
- green vegetables belonging to the cruciferous family: different varieties of cabbage, asparagus, onions, peppers);
- fresh fruits and berries – consume 0. 2 kg per day;
- sea fish of fatty varieties, containing a lot of omega-3 acid;
- fermented milk products, cheeses.
The following products help restore potency.
Reasons for weakened power
No man could accept his sexual impotence. There are a large number of factors that aggravate the situation and increase the risk of reduced erection and impotence in older people:
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- smoking;
- bad nutrition;
- alcohol abuse;
- stress;
- endocrine diseases;
- sedentary work leading to disruption of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
- psychological factor;
- heart, vascular problems;
- diseases of the kidneys, genitourinary system;
- Overweight;
- neurological diseases.
after ejaculation, the erection subsides very quickly; .
Prevention
Age-related changes in the "work" of the penis cannot be avoided or stopped - only controlled so that they have minimal impact on personal life. For men who want to preserve the youthfulness of their reproductive system until old age, it is enough to take care of their health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relationships full of infections;
- do not practice "sexual marathons" with several partners or just one, but all night without interruption;
- do not overcool the genitals:
- do not isolate them beyond measure (this leads to infertility);
- protect the scrotal area from injury, including lifting excessive weights.
The tips described in the article will allow you to regain a normal sex life: 2 to 4 sexual relations per month is more than enough at this age.
The role of routine and sexual activity
Male strength can decrease due to poor diet. For older people, it is very important to follow a special diet. The menu must include:
- egg yolks;
- all kinds of nuts;
- carrot;
- seafood;
- greenery;
- 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 beneficial vitamins and microelements.
You should do your best to fight excess weight. This does not help in increasing power in any way. The caloric content of the diet can even be slightly reduced compared to the age norm: this will not harm.
In old age, a regular sex life is extremely important. Moreover, it should never stop. Nature has designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity must be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction results from prostate congestion (which, in turn, results from prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life takes place without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes a slight interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes sensations during sexual intercourse more acute.
Physical exercise significantly increases blood circulation in the pelvic region. This can increase potency, because sufficient blood circulation also stimulates the production of male sex hormones. On the contrary, if a man does not use his muscles, he turns out to be very weak in bed.
So, increasing potency with the help of medications in elderly men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
As paradoxical as it may seem, regular sexual intercourse also helps improve potency.
At a young age, men usually have no 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 vascular problems, erectile dysfunction occurs.
The regularity of sexual activity is 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, on the contrary, a short break in sexual activity stimulates desire, improves erection and increases libido.
In this case, it is best to combine a healthy lifestyle and taking medications.
Traditional medicine recipes
When restoring sexual function in men aged sixty, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - herbal rather than synthetic drugs. Of course, their action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more persistent and lasting. In addition, each drug can be prepared at home or purchased at the pharmacy in ready-made form. The most popular drugs to increase libido and eliminate erectile dysfunction are:
- alcoholic tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seeds;
- common dubrovnik decoction;
- bee bread – unprocessed plant pollen;
- asparagus and European dodder seeds;
- alcohol tincture from the stream of a male musk deer.
Hundreds of years ago, the following products gained popularity among men:
- decoctions of medicinal herbs - chamomile, thyme, oak bark, yarrow;
- ginger and honey tea;
- crushed pumpkin seeds with a liquid beekeeping product.
Foods such as honey, dry 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 tablespoon of the finished mixture three times a day.

Causes of age-related decrease in potency
Permanent or situational potency problems can occur at any age due to a large number of different factors. These include disturbances in the functioning of the neurovascular and hormonal systems of the body, previous illnesses, surgical operations in the pelvic region, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. A decrease in potency with age is caused primarily by inhibition of gonad function and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Erections at 60 become irregular due to age-related hormonal changes.
The gonads gradually begin to stop their work, there is a decrease in the size of the testicles and a decrease in libido. During sexual intercourse, dysfunctions of erectile function occur more and more often and difficulties arise with arousal or ejaculation. For a satisfactory continuation and termination of sexual intercourse, additional stimulation is necessary; man gets physically tired more quickly.
The following factors can have a negative impact on potency after age 60:
- decreased testosterone levels caused by natural causes, loss of gonad function. The time and rate of reduction of this hormone depends on a person's heredity and lifestyle. Some people have potency problems after 40, and for others, sexual health persists even into old age;
- the presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of vein walls, a tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This set of conditions directly affects the filling of the corpora cavernosa of the penis during erection and ensures its stability;
- hormonal diseases leading to breakdown of the nervous system and testosterone imbalance. For example, diabetes mellitus presents 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, spinal injuries;
- inflammatory diseases of the male genitourinary system, including infectious diseases, urethritis, age-related prostate problems;
- 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 narcotic substances, 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, leading to stagnation of blood in the pelvic region and worsening 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 decline and lead to erectile dysfunction at a much earlier age. The loss of a full-fledged sexual life can occur around the age of 40 if a man does not take care of 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 using additional stimulants.
Society believes that people over 60 have completely lost interest in sex life, but this is not always true. Although the libido may be preserved, the need for sexual intercourse remains, the clear and harmonious interaction of the nervous system is simply disrupted. The erection mechanism begins to malfunction due to testosterone deficiency and vascular breakdown. This leads to failures during sexual intercourse, a circle of fears and psychological complexes is triggered, often forcing a man to abandon all sexual activity.

What is the power
In the male body, the main hormone is testosterone: it is responsible for the appearance of male characteristics, endurance and sperm production. A man's mood depends on the level of testosterone, but testosterone is better known as a hormone that causes sexual desire and is indirectly responsible for normal erection or potency. This term in the general sense reflects the ability of a man's body to perform regular sexual intercourse (but not their frequency and the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- a rush of blood to the corpora cavernosa of the penis;
- its increase;
- ability to maintain long-term sexual relations.
An elderly man may lose his natural bodily functions due to the following reasons:
- obesity;
- diabetic sugar;
- suffered a stroke;
- cardiac and vascular pathologies;
- alcohol, nicotine abuse;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- inflammatory processes and pathologies affecting the vessels of the penis;
- diseases of the central nervous system.
ability to maintain long-term sexual relations.
Internal factors
The presence of chronic vascular diseases affects potency
Medical disorders that develop in older men, leading 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 the entire body with blood.
- Hypertension - changes in blood pressure affect both the general condition and a man's libido.
- Diabetes mellitus - erectile dysfunction in elderly men with this disease is due to 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 functioning of the genitals.
- Prostatitis, a very common male disease today, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only with urination, as in the famous advertisement, but also with erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalances are a deficiency of sex hormones, the level of which significantly decreases with old age, reduces sexual desire and reduces the possibility of sexual intercourse.
- Metabolic disorders - imbalance in metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of medications - the use of any medications by an elderly person, especially hormonal drugs, must be agreed with the attending physician.
Sometimes the solution to the problem is simply to worry less and get more rest.
Psychological aspects
Unfortunately, in our country there is no culture of aging. It is generally accepted that older people are no longer people at all. All they have to do is leave quietly, sitting on a bench at the entrance. In fact, many after a certain age, especially when they stop going to work, focus their lives on their children or grandchildren, who do not have the time to spend time with their retired loved ones or to sitin front of the television. In the context of a life so poor in emotions, the loss of power is experienced with particular acuteness.
It is important to remember that age is not a phrase, but a gift. Between the ages of 50 and 60, a man has a certain amount of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time he remains intellectually and physically preserved. Now is the time to do what you never had time for:
- Mastering new knowledge: starting to learn languages, mastering a computer;
- Sports activities such as swimming, long walks, running and yoga can be chosen according to any health condition;
- Discover new facets of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will give you new sensations.
- Journey. Not everyone can afford to visit Europe, but you can visit friends in a nearby city 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 and full-fledged member of society and think less about age and the changes it brings. Erectile dysfunction often occurs under the influence of experiences, stress, even against the background of the normal physical state of the body.
Discover new facets of sex.
Normal or pathological, is everything okay?
The first thing to do to determine whether the reproductive system is normal is to carry out a potency test, that is, self-diagnosis.
It is easy to do :
- The number of sexual acts among 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 in order.
- Morning erection. A sustained morning erection is an indicator of sexual health. But its absence is neither a sentence nor 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 nighttime potency also disappears, there is reason to be wary. To determine how it goes at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and place it at night on the base of the penis. If in the morning the "product" remains intact and intact, we can speak of pathology. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a doctor.
You should contact an andrologist. He will prescribe several diagnostic measures, including:
- Spermogram. Allows the determination of sperm motility and the fertilizing properties of seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes a decrease in potency is caused by pathological reasons.
- Digital rectal prostate exam. To exclude prostatitis.
- Analysis of prostate juice. It also helps to identify prostatitis and other diseases of the glandular organ.
- PSA blood test.
- General blood test. Necessary to determine sugar concentration. Diabetes is the enemy of men's health.
After completing these studies, a person will know for sure whether this is a norm or a pathology. The main thing is not to delay visiting a specialist. The male body itself is quite fragile and restoring sexual function in adulthood is even more difficult.

Reasons for decreased potency after 60 years
When a person reaches the age of 60, advanced age affects the functioning of their body. The metabolic process slows down and all kinds of dysfunctions appear in the internal organs. The genitourinary system is one of the most susceptible to these age-related disorders, which leads to a significant deterioration in potency.
The most common cause of the condition is hormonal levels that change with age. In people aged 60, the amount of testosterone in the blood decreases noticeably, which leads to erectile dysfunction. Any other pathological changes in the functioning of the endocrine system, especially if aggravated by diabetes of both types, lead not only to disturbances in vision, breathing or the functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases traditionally top the list of the most dangerous conditions affecting older adults. These diseases can weaken an erection, because with poor blood circulation, blood does not flow sufficiently to the genital organ and the functioning of the pelvic organs is noticeably weakened.
Low power at 60 can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. First, the functioning of the genitals can be affected by various injuries and bruises, which can be especially painful in old age. Secondly, at this time, chronic spinal problems worsen, which can affect the functioning of the spinal cord and the nervous system as a whole.
The nervous system after 60 years needs rehabilitation. Many stresses, poor diet and personal problems only weaken it. Lack of cerebral circulation, spinal cord problems, decreased muscle tone - all this negatively affects potency.
However, as medical practice and numerous scientific studies show, the problem often originates in the genitourinary system itself. Most often, people over 60 years old are susceptible to inflammation of the prostate, suffer from adenoma, urethritis, and in addition, at this age the risk of developing genital cancer is especially high.
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 older people. At this age, the immune system weakens, therefore infectious and inflammatory diseases can often lead to complications that affect the functioning of the genitals, 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 60?
Age-related changes in the male body affect not only physical condition. Many begin to experience other difficulties that they simply did not notice in their youth - most people note that by the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline. There are now many means on pharmacy counters and in the arsenal of traditional medicine that make it possible to constructively combat this disease.
This is why it is so important that every man starts taking care of his health, including his androgenic health, from his youth. Many begin to experience other difficulties that they simply did not notice in their youth; Most people note that by the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline.
