It is believed that problems with potency at the age of 40 begin due to physiological and psycho-emotional changes. Most men these days have already taken their place as fathers, experts and husbands. But not all of them experience positive emotions, feel healthy and happy. Nevertheless, at the age of 40, the natural aging process of men begins, the first wrinkles and gray hair appear. Statistics say that in about 50% of men, it is at the age of forty that the first signs of problems with erectile function are observed. It also has a negative effect on the psychological state, often men worry about depression. But the violation or complete loss of erection at the age of 40 is not a sentence of impotence. You just need to find the cause of the violation and seriously take care of your own health.
Causes of sexual dysfunction in men
Experts note that potency after 40 years in men declines mainly due to a decrease in testosterone levels. This is a purely male hormone responsible for libido and sexual function, that is, erection.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable when compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
In fact, the hormonal background of men is very stable when compared to women. Therefore, many representatives of the stronger sex retain the ability to fertilize women even in extreme old age.
But the modern way of life and the negative effects of external factors adversely affect health. As a result, testosterone is not produced as actively, its quantitative and qualitative characteristics are reduced.
Overall, there are several factors that affect a man's potential. The main causes of impotence in men at the age of 40 or its gradual development can be:
- Taking medicines, which are carried out by a man without a doctor's recommendation or control. This is especially true of hormonal drugs that affect male potency. It is also dangerous to take medicines for the treatment of blood vessels accidentally. Such drugs reduce the function of a man's body to independently produce testosterone;
- Absence of normal sexual life in a man. Too frequent sexual intercourse is also harmful. But if sex is not present in a man's life for too long, this creates disturbances in the work of blood circulation, the function of the prostate gland and other organs of the small pelvis;
- Chronic and acute stages of diseases related to the male genitourinary system. Because of them, the degenerative process of the gonads is observed. As you understand, this does not bring anything good for potential;
- Overweight in men. Being overweight is a provocateur of hormonal imbalance. A large amount of adipose tissue contributes to the increase of another hormone - estrogen. Its action is completely opposite to that of testosterone;
- Bad habits. Statistics clearly show that early signs of impotence in men appear when they smoke, abuse alcohol in large quantities, or prefer unhealthy fatty foods. In some cases, it is enough just to normalize a healthy diet, give up bad habits, to restore the former quality of erection.
What indicates the development of impotence
As you can see, various reasons can cause a decrease in potency after 40. Therefore, the best solution is to prevent its occurrence or treat it at an early stage.
It is important to understand that long-term persistent symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function.
But not always men pay due attention to their own health. Only relevant signs that indicate the development of impotence, that is, a serious violation of erectile function, can prompt them to the idea of visiting a doctor.
It is important to understand that long-term persistent symptoms will result in complete loss of sexual function. It is possible to restore it, but for this you need to take more serious measures. That is why it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the potency decreases even to a small degree.
If we talk about the characteristic signs of the development of impotence, then among the main ones we should highlight the following:
- Lack of full erection. When aroused, the man feels that the sexual organ has hardened, but not strong enough. This condition is observed during the entire sexual relationship;
- Erection occurs unstable, at certain moments it can weaken significantly, but then return to the previous level again;
- The man cannot have intercourse. Although stimulation is present, erection still does not occur;
- It takes a long time to raise members. Under normal conditions, a full erection is achieved in a few seconds. If there are signs of developing impotence, erection requires more time and additional stimulation;
- Ejaculation does not occur, although everything is normal with an erection and arousal is at a high level. This is also a characteristic sign of the presence of pathology that can soon cause the loss of erectile function;
- A man does not experience the same pleasure from having sex. Often men after 40 complain of a lack of satisfaction, their interest in sex is significantly reduced. This problem is sometimes purely psychological in nature, but is often associated with certain negative changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
How to restore an erection
Do not be naive to believe that increasing potency in men after 40 is impossible. This is a serious misconception. 40 years is a completely normal age where erectile function should be at a high level. Attributing everything to age is stupid and wrong. You just need to take care of your health so that sex starts to bring pleasure again, and there are no difficulties with the stimulation process.
Impotence, that is, the complete loss of erectile function, at the age of 40 is rare. This happens only when a man ignores the presence of a problem and does not want to be treated. Without taking any action, the potential really won't come back.

Another important tip. In your forties, do not rush to take potency stimulants. All kinds of drugs that increase the level and quality of erections may be useful for you in 20 years, when potency begins to disappear due to completely natural causes of aging. 40 years is a young age for a man and his erectile function. Therefore, a slightly different treatment strategy should be chosen.
How to increase the potential, only an expert will tell you after the exam. You should never start taking any medication without first diagnosing the problem of impotence. Before visiting the doctor, you can:
- Significantly change the approach to nutrition. Potency in men is directly related to the digestive system. Harmful foods reduce potency, while wholesome and healthy foods normalize it. So to maintain and increase potency, erectile function, you should eat properly;
- Go in for sports (without excessive physical exercise, which only worsens the potency). For potency, jogging, swimming and other activities that affect the cardiovascular system are useful;
- Always exercise for potential. There are several sets of exercises specifically designed to restore erectile function and increase potency. But it is better to start it after consulting an expert;
- Give up bad habits absolutely. Everyone knows about their adverse effect on male potency;
- Somehow diversify your sex life. We are talking about role-playing games, the use of toys. A man needs to increase interest in sex, which will have a positive effect on potency, that is, erectile function;
- Communicate frankly with a psychologist if problems with potential have psychological causes.
The man himself affects the potency and quality of erectile function. The maintenance of male power depends only on him and attention to his own health issues. There are also factors beyond men's control, with most modern drugs helping to overcome them.
