Many men are faced with issues such as sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and erectile dysfunction. Generally speaking, this situation is relatively rare among young people. As they age, their physical fitness gradually decreases, and they begin to appear powerless. Is it possible that as men age, they will experience sexual dysfunction issues such as impotence?
Why do men develop impotence
From a physiological perspective, when we humans are between the ages of 40 and 60, sexual desire gradually decreases, and sexual function also decreases. After reaching the age of 60, the rate of decline significantly increases. According to research data, the probability of impotence in men aged 20 is only 0.1%, while the probability of impotence after the age of 60 increases to 18.4%. This shows that impotence in men is a very normal physiological phenomenon.
Therefore, experts are here to tell the majority of male friends that it is normal for some sexual dysfunction problems to occur with age, and there is no need to be overly demanding about sexual life to avoid further harm to their sexual function and physical health.
How to effectively prevent impotence
First, pay attention to your own physiological diseases and prevention, and maintain personal hygiene. Many reproductive health diseases are the cause of impotence. Therefore, elderly people should pay special attention to preventing and treating prostate diseases, urinary tract infections, testicular diseases, kidney disease, and so on.
Secondly, it is necessary to exercise regularly. Nowadays, men rarely exercise regularly. They often drive to and from work, rest at home on weekends, and rarely come out for activities. In fact, exercise can promote blood circulation, increase blood perfusion through the penile arteries, and also increase high-density cholesterol levels to protect the arteries.
Thirdly, psychological prevention is the most important. Many people's impotence is caused by psychological factors, and too much pressure leads to failure to maintain a good psychological state. The main factors are self, family, and social factors, and self factors are the main ones. Elderly people should understand that as they age, sexual function gradually decreases, and it is normal for them to occasionally "fail" once or twice. To maintain a good mood and maintain a good mood at ordinary times, it is also necessary to establish the confidence of "definitely doing".
Fourth, pay attention to the reasonable diet structure. You can eat things that strengthen the kidney and yang, but don't eat them often. You should match meat and vegetables, coarse and fine grains, eat rich foods such as protein and vitamins, and ban smoking and alcohol. Smoking and alcohol are the enemies of sexual function.
