In men who do not respond to pharmacotherapy, a special vacuum contraction device can be used to increase potency. This is a hand-operated device that creates negative pressure around the penis. This results in passive filling of the lacunar spaces and erection. Maintaining an erect penis is facilitated 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 care by men taking anticoagulants.
In some cases, when conservative methods of treatment do not help, surgical procedures are indicated, including penile prosthesis. Among several types of implants, the preferred one is the 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 increase potency.
The right nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a set of measures is required. Proper nutrition plays one of the leading roles. When making a healthy menu, you should take into account that with age, a person needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. That is why it is necessary to remove eggs, fatty meat and sour cream from the diet. The following products help restore potency:
- nuts (Brazil, pistachios, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruits;
- legumes and cereals - will be especially useful if you have diabetes;
- green vegetables from the Cruciferous family: different varieties of cabbage, asparagus, onions, peppers);
- fresh fruits and berries - consume 0. 2 kg per day;
- marine fish from fatty varieties containing a lot of omega-3 acid;
- fermented milk products, cheeses.
The following products help restore potency.
Causes of weakened potency
There are no men who come to terms with their sexual impotence. There are a large 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 leading 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 subsides 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 into old age, it is enough to worry about its health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relations filled with infection;
- do not practice "sex marathons" with several partners or with one, but all night without rest;
- do not overcool the genitals:
- do not isolate them beyond any measure (this leads to infertility);
- protecting the scrotal area from injury, including lifting excessive weights.
The tips described in the article will help to restore a normal sex life: 2-4 sexual contacts per month, this 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 the elderly to follow a special diet. The menu should include:
- egg yolks;
- all kinds of nuts;
- carrot;
- Seafood;
- greenery;
- cabbage;
- celery.
Among the aphrodisiac foods are peanuts, almonds and pistachios, which are not only very tasty, but also useful for the whole organism. These products saturate the body with vitamins and useful trace elements.
You should try to fight 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. Also, it never needs to stop. Nature has created the male body in such a way that high sexual activity should be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction arises from congestion in the prostate gland (which in turn occurs due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that the intimate life proceeds without frequent change of partners. Sometimes a small break in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes the sensations during sex more intense.
Physical exercise significantly increases 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.
So increasing potency with the help of drugs in adult men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
As paradoxical as it sounds, regular intercourse also helps to improve potency.
At a young age, 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, but due to accumulated diseases and problems with blood vessels, erectile dysfunction occurs.
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 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 medication.
Recipes from traditional medicine
When sexual function is restored in men in their sixties, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - drugs on a herbal basis, not on a synthetic basis. Of course, their action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more stable and lasting. In addition, any medicine can be prepared at home or purchased at a pharmacy in ready form. The most popular drugs to increase libido and eliminate erectile dysfunction are the following:
- alcohol tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seed;
- decoction of ordinary Dubrovnik;
- bread - unprocessed plant pollen;
- asparagus and European vetch seeds;
- alcoholic tincture of the flow of male musk.
Hundreds of years ago, the following products gained popularity 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, dried fruit, 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 in a blender and take a tablespoon three times a day from the finished mixture.

Causes of age-related decline in potency
Persistent or situational potency problems can occur at any age due to a large number of different factors. These include disorders in the functioning of the body's neurovascular and hormonal systems, past illnesses, surgical operations in the pelvic area, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. The decrease in potency with age is mainly provoked by inhibition of the function of the gonads and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Erections at age 60 become irregular due to age-related hormonal changes.
The gonads gradually begin to stop working, there is a decrease in the size of the testicles and a decrease in libido. During sex, malfunctions in erectile function and difficulties in arousal or ejaculation occur more and more often. Additional stimulation is needed to continue and complete the sexual act satisfactorily, the man gets physically tired more quickly.
The following factors can have a negative impact on potency after 60 years:
- decrease in testosterone levels caused by natural causes, loss of function of the gonads. The time and rate of decline of this hormone depends on heredity and a person's lifestyle. Some people have problems with potency after 40 years, and for some, sexual health remains even in old age;
- presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of the venous walls, tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This complex of diseases directly affects the filling of the cavernous bodies of the penis during erection and ensuring its stability;
- hormonal diseases leading to 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, spinal cord 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, hyperplasia of the prostate, adenomas that press on blood vessels and interfere with normal blood circulation;
- systematic abuse of alcohol, tobacco or narcotic substances, which negatively affect the whole organism as a whole, worsen the functioning of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- lack of the necessary physical activity, sedentary work, formation of blood stagnation in the pelvic area and deterioration of the condition of the 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 of these factors can worsen the onset of gonad reduction and lead to erectile dysfunction at a much earlier age. The loss of a full sexual life can occur up to the age of 40 if a man does not take care of his health, does not exercise, eats poorly and abuses harmful substances. And if you follow certain rules and diet, 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. Libido can be preserved, the need for intercourse remains, the clear, harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply disturbed. The erection mechanism begins to malfunction due to testosterone deficiency and vascular degradation. This leads to failures during sex, triggers a cycle of psychological fears and complexes that often force the 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 a 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 a man's body to perform regular sexual contacts (but not their frequency and the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- rush of blood to the cavernous bodies of the penis;
- its increase;
- ability to maintain long-term intercourse.
An elderly man may lose the natural functions of his body due to:
- obesity;
- diabetes;
- 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.
ability to maintain long-term intercourse.
Internal factors
The presence of chronic vascular diseases affects potency
Diseases that develop in older men leading to impotence are often the result of internal factors. Between 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 occurs 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 genital organs.
- Prostatitis, a very common male disease recently, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only with urination, as in the famous advertisement, but also with erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalance is a deficiency of sex hormones, the level of which drops 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 drugs by an elderly person, especially hormonal drugs, must be agreed with the attending physician.
Sometimes, to solve the problem, it is enough to simply worry less and rest more.
Psychological aspects
Unfortunately, we do not have a culture of aging. It is generally accepted that old people are no longer people. All that remains available to them is to quietly disappear, sitting on a bench in 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 spend time with retired relatives or sit in front of the television. Against the background of such an emotion-poor life, the loss of potency is experienced particularly acutely.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. By the age of 50-60, a person comes with a lot of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time he is still preserved intellectually and physically. Now is the 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 any health condition;
- Discover new aspects of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will give you new sensations.
- Travel. Not everyone can afford tours around Europe, but you can visit friends in a neighboring 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 an active, full member of society and think less about age and the changes it brings. Erectile disorders often arise under the influence of experiences, stress, even against the background of the normal physical condition of the body.
Discover new aspects of sex.
Normal or pathological - is everything okay?
The first thing to do to determine if the reproductive system is normal is to conduct a potency test, i. e. self-diagnosis.
It's easy to do:
- The number of sexual contacts for persons 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 at night on the base of the penis. If in the morning the "product" remains intact and intact, we can talk about pathology. In this case, you can not do without the help of a doctor.
You should contact an andrologist. He will prescribe several diagnostic measures, including:
- spermogram. It allows you to determine the motility of the sperm and the fertilizing properties of the seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes the decrease in potency is caused by pathological reasons.
- Digital rectal 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 organ.
- PSA blood test.
- General blood analysis. Needed to determine sugar concentration. Diabetes is the enemy of men's health.
After completing these studies, a person will know for sure whether we are talking about a norm or a pathology. The main thing is not to delay the visit to a specialist. The male body itself is quite fragile, and the restoration of 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, all kinds of dysfunctions 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 hormonal levels, which change with age. At the age of 60, the amount of testosterone in the blood drops significantly, which leads to erectile dysfunction. All other pathological changes in the functioning of the endocrine system, especially if they are aggravated by diabetes of both types, lead not only to impaired vision, breathing or functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases traditionally top the list of the most dangerous diseases that affect the elderly. These diseases can weaken the erection, because with poor blood circulation 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 functioning of the genital organs can be affected by various injuries and bruises, which can be especially painful in old age. Second, at this time, chronic problems with the spine 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. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition and personal problems only weaken her. 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 over the age of 60 are prone to inflammation of the prostate gland, suffer from adenoma, urethritis, and in addition, at this age, the risk of developing genital cancer is particularly high.
The above factors increase if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle. Poor nutrition, lack of physical activity and bad habits have a particularly detrimental 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 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 note that at the age of 60 the potency in men begins to decline. Now at pharmacies and in the arsenal of traditional medicine there are many means that allow you to constructively fight this disease.
That's why it's so important for every man to start taking care of his health, including androgenic health, from a young age. Many begin to experience other difficulties that they simply did not notice in their younger years; most people note that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline.
