For men who do not respond to pharmacotherapy, a special vacuum constriction device may be used to increase potency. It 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 facilitated by a rubber cuff placed around its base. Use is possible within 30 minutes, maximum, to avoid skin necrosis. The device should be used with great caution by men who are taking blood thinners.
In some cases, when conservative treatment methods do not help, surgical procedures, including penile prosthesis, are indicated. Among the various 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 increase potency.
Proper nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a set of measures is required. Proper nutrition plays one of the main roles. When creating a healthy menu, you need to take into account that as a person 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, pistachio, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruits;
- beans and cereals - will be especially beneficial if you have 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;
- marine fish of fatty varieties containing a lot of omega-3 acid;
- fermented dairy products, cheeses.
The following products help restore potency.
Reasons for weakened potency
There are no men who can accept their sexual impotence. There are a large number of factors that aggravate the situation and increase the risk of decreased erections and impotence in old age:
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- smoke;
- Poor nutrition;
- alcohol abuse;
- stress;
- endocrine diseases;
- sedentary work leading to disruption of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
- psychological factor;
- heart problems, 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 avoided or stopped - only controlled so that they have a minimal impact on personal life. For men who want to preserve the youth of their reproductive system until old age, it is enough to worry about their health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relationships fraught with infections;
- do not practice "sexual marathons" with several partners or one, but all night without rest;
- do not overcool the genitals:
- do not isolate them beyond any measure (this leads to infertility);
- protect the scrotum area from injury, including lifting excessive weights.
The tips described in the article will help restore normal sexual life: 2 to 4 sexual intercourse 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. For the elderly, it is very important to follow a special diet. The menu must include:
- egg yolks;
- all types of nuts;
- carrot;
- Seafood;
- vegetation;
- cabbage;
- celery.
Aphrodisiac foods include peanuts, almonds and pistachios, which are not only very tasty, but also beneficial for the entire body. These products saturate the body with beneficial vitamins and microelements.
You should try your best to combat excess weight. It does not help in any way to increase potency. The calorie content of the diet can even be slightly reduced in relation to the age norm: this will not cause harm.
In old age, regular sex life is extremely important. Plus, you never have to stop. Nature designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity should be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction occurs due to congestion in the prostate gland (and in turn arises due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life takes place without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes, a small interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes sensations during sex more heightened.
Physical exercise significantly increases blood circulation in the pelvic region. This can increase potency, since sufficient blood circulation also stimulates the production of male sex hormones. On the contrary, if a man does not load his muscles, he becomes very weak in bed.
Thus, increasing potency with the help of medications in older men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Normal sex life
No matter how paradoxical it may seem, 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 excitement that does not require additional stimulation.
In theory, men of all ages should maintain normal sexual activity, however, due to the accumulation of 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 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 the use of medication.
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, its action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more persistent and long-lasting. Furthermore, each medicine can be prepared at home or purchased ready-made at the pharmacy. The most popular medications for increasing libido and eliminating erectile dysfunction are the following:
- alcohol tincture of ginseng root;
- Hemp seeds;
- decoction of common dubrovnik;
- bee bread – unprocessed plant pollen;

Causes of age-related decrease in potency
Permanent or situational potency problems can arise at any age due to a large number of different factors. These include disturbances in the functioning of the body's neurovascular and hormonal systems, past illnesses, surgical operations in the pelvic region, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. A decrease in potency with age is mainly caused by inhibition of gonad function 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, more and more dysfunctions in erectile function occur and difficulties arise with arousal or ejaculation. For the continuation and satisfactory completion of sexual intercourse, additional stimulation is necessary: the man becomes 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 gonad function. The time and rate of reduction of this hormone depends on the person's heredity and lifestyle. Some people have potency problems after the age of 40, 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 corpora cavernosa of the penis during erection and guarantees its stability;
- hormonal diseases that lead to degradation 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;
- neoplasms existing 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 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, forming blood stagnation 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 sex life can occur at 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 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 may well be preserved, the need for sexual intercourse remains, clear and harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply disturbed. The erection mechanism starts to malfunction due to testosterone deficiency and vascular degradation. This leads to failures during sex, a circle of fears and psychological complexes is triggered, often forcing the man to abandon sexual activity.

What is power
In the man's body, the main hormone is testosterone: it is responsible for the appearance of masculine characteristics, resistance and sperm production. A man's mood depends on the level of testosterone, but it is best known as a hormone that causes sexual desire and is indirectly responsible for normal erection or potency. This term, in a general sense, reflects the ability of a man's body to have regular sexual intercourse (but not its frequency and the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- a flow of blood to the corpora cavernosa of the penis;
- its increase;
- ability to maintain long-term sexual relations.
An elderly man may lose natural body functions due to:
- obesity;
- diabetes mellitus;
- had a stroke;
- cardiac 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 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. Between them:
- Pathologies of a cardiac nature - sexual functions directly depend on the functioning of the cardiovascular system, which supplies blood to the entire body.
- Hypertension - changes in blood pressure affect both the general condition and libido of a man.
- Diabetes mellitus - erectile dysfunction in elderly 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 these days, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only with urination, as in the famous commercial, but also with erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalances are 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 - imbalance of metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of medications - the use of any medication by the elderly, especially hormonal ones, must be agreed with the attending physician.
Sometimes, to solve the problem, you just need to worry less and rest more.
Psychological aspects
In our country, unfortunately, there is no culture of aging. It is generally accepted that the elderly are no longer people. All that's left for them is to disappear silently, sitting on a bench at the entrance. In fact, many after a certain age, especially when they stop working, focus their lives on their children or grandchildren, who do not have time to dedicate themselves to retired family members or to sit in front of the television. In the context of a life so poor in emotions, the loss of potency is experienced in an especially acute way.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. At 50-60 years old, a man already has a good amount 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 according to any health condition;
- Discover new facets of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will give you new sensations.
- Trip. 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 like an active, full-fledged member of society and think less about age and the changes it brings. Erectile disorders often occur 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 ok?
The first thing that needs to be done to determine whether the reproductive system is normal is to carry out a potency test, that is, a self-diagnosis.
It's easy to do:
- The number of sexual acts in people over 60 is, on average, 1 to 2 per week. If a representative of the stronger half of humanity manages to maintain this level of sexual activity, everything will be in order.
- Morning erection. 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 evening potency also disappears, there is reason to be cautious. To find out how things are at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of your penis and place it at the base of your penis at night. If in the morning the "product" remains intact and intact, 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 several diagnostic measures, including:
- Spermogram. It allows you to determine 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 examination of the prostate. To exclude prostatitis.
- Prostate juice analysis. It also allows you to identify prostatitis and other diseases of the glandular organ.
- PSA blood test.
- General blood analysis. Necessary 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 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 60 years of age, 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 sensitive to these age-related disorders, which leads to a significant deterioration in potency.
The most common cause of the disease is hormone levels that change with age. In people aged 60, the amount of testosterone in the blood drops sharply, which leads to erectile dysfunction. Any other pathological changes in the functioning of the endocrine system, especially if they are 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 have traditionally been at the top of lists of the most dangerous diseases affecting the elderly. These diseases can weaken an erection, as with poor blood circulation, insufficient blood flow to the genital organ and the functioning of the pelvic organs are visibly weakened.
Weak potency at age 60 can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. Firstly, 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 the age of 60 needs rehabilitation. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition and personal problems only weaken her. Lack of cerebral circulation, problems with the spinal cord, decreased 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 60 are susceptible to prostate inflammation, 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 nutrition, lack of physical activity and bad habits have a particularly detrimental effect on the sexual health of older people. At this age, the immune system weakens, which is why infectious and inflammatory diseases can often present complications that affect the functioning of the genital organs, especially when it comes to sexually transmitted diseases.
However, they also have contraindications, and their use is undesirable in the presence of serious chronic diseases.
What happens to potency at age 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 youth - most people note that by the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline. Now on the shelves of pharmacies and in the arsenal of traditional medicine there are many means that allow you to combat this disease in a constructive way.
Therefore, it is very 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 realize in their youth; Most people notice that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decrease.
