For men who do not respond to pharmacotherapy, a special vacuum constriction device can be used to increase potency. It is a manually operated device that creates negative pressure around the penis. This leads to passive filling of the lacunar spaces and erection. Supporting 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 who are taking anticoagulants.
In some cases, when conservative treatment methods do not help, surgical procedures, including penile prosthesis, 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 of enhancing potency.
Proper nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a set of measures is required. Proper nutrition plays one of the leading roles. When creating a healthy menu, you need to 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, 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;
- 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 potency
There are no men who could come to terms with their sexual impotence. There are a large number of factors that aggravate the situation and increase the risk of decreased 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 until old age, it is enough to worry about its health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relationships fraught with infection;
- do not practice "sex marathons" with several partners or one, but all night without a break;
- do not overcool the genitals:
- do not insulate 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: 2-4 sexual intercourses 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 older people, it is very important to adhere to a special diet. The menu should include:
- egg yolks;
- all types 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 vitamins and beneficial microelements.
You should try your best to fight excess weight. It does not help increase potency in any way. The caloric content of the diet can even be slightly reduced relative to the age norm: this will not cause harm.
In old age, regular sex life is extremely important. Moreover, it never needs to stop. Nature has designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity should be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction occurs from congestion in the prostate gland (and they, in turn, arise due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life occurs without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes a minor break in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes sensations during sex more acute.
Physical exercise significantly increases blood circulation in the pelvic area. 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 turns out to be very weak in bed.
So, increasing potency with the help of medications in older men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
No matter how paradoxical it may sound, regular sexual intercourse also helps improve potency.
At a young age, men usually have no problems with erections. 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 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 taking medications.
Traditional medicine recipes
When restoring sexual function in men aged sixty, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - herbal rather than synthetic based drugs. Of course, their action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more persistent and lasting. Moreover, each medicine can be prepared at home or purchased at a pharmacy in ready-made form. The most popular drugs for increasing libido and eliminating erectile dysfunction are the following:
- alcohol tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seeds;
- decoction of common dubrovnik;
- beebread – unprocessed plant pollen;

Causes of age-related decrease in potency
Permanent or situational problems with potency can arise at any age due to a large number of different factors. These include disruptions in the functioning of the neurovascular and hormonal systems of the body, past illnesses, surgical operations in the pelvic area, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. A decrease in potency with age is provoked primarily by inhibition of the function of the gonads and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Erections at 60 years old 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 sex, malfunctions in erectile function increasingly occur, and difficulties arise with arousal or ejaculation. For satisfactory continuation and completion of sexual intercourse, additional stimulation is required; the man gets physically tired faster.
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 reduction of this hormone depends on the heredity and lifestyle of a person. Some people have problems with potency after 40 years, and for some, sexual health remains even into old age;
- the presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of the venous walls, a tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This complex of ailments directly affects the filling of the corpora cavernosa 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, injuries of the spinal column;
- inflammatory diseases of the male genitourinary system, including infectious diseases, urethritis, age-related problems with the prostate;
- 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 as a whole, worsen the functioning of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity, and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- lack of necessary physical activity, sedentary work, forming stagnation of blood in the pelvic area and aggravating 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 diseases.
All these factors can aggravate the onset of gonadal decline and lead to erectile dysfunction at a much earlier age. The loss of a full-fledged sex life can occur by 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, the clear, harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply disrupted. The erection mechanism begins to malfunction due to testosterone deficiency and vascular degradation. This leads to failures during sex, a circle of psychological fears and complexes is triggered, often forcing a man to give up sexual activity.

What is potency
In a man’s 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 it is better known as a hormone that provokes 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 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 cavernous bodies of the penis;
- its increase;
- ability to maintain long-term sexual intercourse.
An elderly man may lose natural body functions due to:
- obesity;
- diabetes mellitus;
- suffered 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 intercourse.
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 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 older men with this disease occurs due to the destructive effect of the disease on the 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 an elderly person, especially hormonal drugs, must be agreed upon with the attending physician.
Sometimes, in order to solve the problem, it is enough to simply worry less and rest more.
Psychological aspects
In our country, unfortunately, there is no culture of aging. It is generally accepted that older people are no longer people at all. All that remains available to them is to quietly fade away, sitting on a bench at the entrance. Indeed, many after a certain age, especially when they stop going to work, focus their lives on their children or grandchildren, who have no time to devote time to retired relatives or sit in front of the TV. Against the backdrop of such a life poor in emotions, the loss of potency is experienced especially acutely.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. By the age of 50-60, a man comes with a fair 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 to suit any health condition;
- Discover new facets 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 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 okay?
The first thing that needs to be done to determine whether the reproductive system is normal is to conduct a potency test, that is, self-diagnosis.
It's easy to do:
- The number of sexual acts in persons over 60 years of age 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. Maintained 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 morning erection disappears, there is no reason to panic, but when nighttime potency also disappears, there is reason to be wary. To determine how things are at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and put it on the base of the 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. Allows you to determine sperm motility and fertilizing properties of seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes a decrease in potency is caused by pathological reasons.
- Rectal digital examination of the prostate. To exclude 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. Necessary for determining 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 old, advanced age affects the functioning of his body. The metabolic process slows down, and all sorts 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 hormonal levels that change with age. In 60-year-olds, the amount of testosterone in the blood drops noticeably, 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 impaired vision, breathing or functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases traditionally top the lists of the most dangerous ailments that affect older people. These diseases can weaken an erection, since with poor blood circulation, insufficient blood flows to the genital organ, and the functioning of the pelvic organs is noticeably weakened.
Weak potency at 60 years old can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. Firstly, the functioning of the genital organs can be affected by various injuries and bruises, which can be especially painful in old age. Secondly, 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 of age needs rehabilitation. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition, and personal troubles 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 years of age are susceptible to inflammation of the prostate gland, they 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, 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 years old?
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 younger years - most people note that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decline. Now on pharmacy counters and in the arsenal of traditional medicine there are many means that allow you to fight this disease constructively.
Therefore, it is so important for every man to start taking care of his health, including androgenic health, from his youth. 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.
