For men who do not respond to drug therapy, 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 thanks to a rubber sleeve placed around its base. It is possible to use it within 30 minutes, no more, to avoid skin necrosis. The device should be used with great caution by men taking blood thinners.
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 using methods to improve potency.
Proper nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a number of measures are required. Proper nutrition plays one of the main roles. When creating a healthy menu, it is necessary to take into account that as a man ages, he needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate eggs, fatty meats and sour cream from the diet. The following products help restore potency:
- nuts (Brazilian, pistachios, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruits;
- beans and cereals - they 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, which contains 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 erection and impotence in old age:
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- of smoking;
- poor nutrition;
- Alcohol abuse;
- stress;
- endocrine diseases;
- sedentary work that causes a disruption of blood flow to the pelvic organs;
- psychological factor;
- problems with the heart, blood vessels;
- diseases of the kidneys, genitourinary system;
- over weight;
- neurological diseases.
after ejaculation, the erection disappears 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 their health from adolescence:
- avoid intimate relationships plagued by infections;
- do not practice "sex marathons" with several partners or with one, but all night without rest;
- do not cool the genitals too much:
- do not isolate them beyond any measure (this leads to infertility);
- Protect the scrotal area from injury, including lifting excessive weights.
The tips described in the article will help you regain a normal sex life: 2-4 sexual relations 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 follow a special diet. The menu must include:
- egg yolks;
- all kinds 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 entire body. These products saturate the body with beneficial vitamins and microelements.
You must do everything possible to combat excess weight. It does not help increase potency in any way. The calorie content of the diet can even be slightly reduced relative to the age norm: this will not cause any harm.
In old age, regular sex life is extremely important. Plus, you never need to stop. Nature has designed the male body in such a way that high sexual activity must be maintained at any age. Erectile dysfunction is caused by congestion in the prostate gland (and this, in turn, arises due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life develops without frequent partner changes. Sometimes a small interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and sharpens sensations during sexual intercourse.
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.
Therefore, increasing potency with the help of medications in older men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
regular sex life
As paradoxical as it may seem, regular sexual relations also help to improve potency.
At a young age, men do not usually have erection problems. 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.
The regularity of sexual activity is as important as its moderation. This means that sexual relations should be regular, preferably without frequent changes of sexual partners and without long periods of abstinence.
The most interesting thing is that a brief pause 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 in their sixties, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine - herbal and non-synthetic drugs. Of course, its action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more persistent and long-lasting. In addition, each medication can be prepared at home or purchased at the pharmacy ready-made.

- alcoholic tincture of ginseng root;
- Hemp seeds;

Physical activity
Regular exercise helps:
- improve circulation in the pelvic organs;
- stimulation of the body to synthesize male hormones;
- endogenous testosterone production.
Recommended exercises are presented in the table.
Physical activity.
| To do? | So that? | Number of repetitions. |
| Squats. | Improved blood supply in the pelvis. | 100 (in 24 hours) |
| Kegel exercises. | Improved erectile function. | Discussed with doctor individually. |
| Raising the pelvis. | Greater power. It is necessary to adopt a horizontal position, raise the upper limbs and pelvis several times. | 7 sets, 30 repetitions. |
Causes of age-related decline in power.
Permanent or situational potency problems can arise at any age due to a host of different factors. These include disturbances 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 caused primarily by the 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 sexual intercourse, more and more dysfunctions occur in erectile function and difficulties arise with arousal or ejaculation. Additional stimulation is required to successfully continue and complete sexual intercourse; The man gets physically tired faster.
The following factors can have a negative impact on potency after age 60:
- Decrease in testosterone levels caused by natural causes, loss of gonad function. The time and rate of reduction of this hormone depends on a person's heredity and lifestyle. Some people have potency problems after the age of 40, and for others, sexual health is maintained 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 cavernous bodies of the penis during erection and ensuring its stability;
- Hormonal diseases that lead to the 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 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, 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, worsen the functioning of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- lack of necessary physical activity, sedentary work, which forms blood stagnation in the pelvic area and aggravates 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 disorders, anxiety, depression and other similar illnesses.
All of these factors can aggravate the onset of gonadal impairment and cause erectile dysfunction at a much younger age. The loss of a full sexual 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 a diet, it is possible to preserve long-term potency without the use of additional stimulants.
Society believes that people over 60 have completely lost interest in sexual life, but this is not always the case. It is possible that libido is preserved, the need for sexual intercourse persists, and the clear and 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 sexual relations, a circle of fears and psychological complexes is unleashed that often force the man to abandon sexual activity.

what is power
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 normal erection or potency. This term in a general sense reflects the ability of a man's body to engage in regular sexual intercourse (but not its frequency or the man's temperament).
From a medical point of view, potency is expressed in:
- a rush of blood towards the cavernous bodies of the penis;
- its increase;
- Ability to maintain long-term sexual relations.
An elderly person can lose natural body functions due to:
- obesity;
- Mellitus diabetes;
- suffered a stroke;
- cardiac and vascular pathologies;
- alcohol, nicotine abuse;
- sexually transmitted diseases;
- inflammatory processes and pathologies that affect 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 and lead 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 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 today, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only in urinating, as in the famous advertisement, but also in 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 having sexual relations.
- Metabolic disorders: imbalance in metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of medications: the use of any medications by an elderly person, especially hormonal medications, should be agreed with the treating physician.
Sometimes, to solve the problem, it is enough to 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. The only thing 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 going to work, focus their lives on their children or grandchildren, who do not have time to spend time with their retired relatives or sit in front of the television. In the context of a life so poor in emotions, the loss of power is experienced especially acutely.
It is important to remember that age is not a sentence, but a gift. At the age of 50-60, a man comes with a good amount of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time he preserves himself 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 to travel around Europe, but you can more often visit your friends in a neighboring city 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 and full member of society and think less about age and the changes it brings with it. Erectile disorders often occur under the influence of experiences, stress, even against the background of a normal physical state of the body.
Discover new facets of sex.
Normal or pathological: is everything okay?
The first thing to do to determine if the reproductive system is normal is to perform a potency test, that is, a self-diagnosis.
It is easy to do:
- The number of sexual acts in people over 60 years of age is, on average, 1 to 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. A sustained morning erection is an indicator of sexual health. But its absence is neither a sentence nor an indicator.
- Night erection. Nocturnal erections also indicate normal reproductive function.
If only the morning erection disappears, there is no reason to panic, but when the nighttime potency also disappears, there is reason to be suspicious. To determine how things are at night, it is necessary to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and place it at 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 the motility of sperm and the fertilizing properties of the seminal fluid.
- Ultrasound of the pelvic organs. Sometimes a decrease in potency is due to pathological reasons.
- Digital rectal 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 tests. Necessary to determine the 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 the decrease in 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 hormonal levels that change with age. At the age of 60, the amount of testosterone in the blood decreases noticeably, which causes erectile dysfunction. Any other pathological changes in the functioning of the endocrine system, especially if aggravated by diabetes of both types, lead not only to problems with vision, breathing or functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases traditionally top the lists of the most dangerous ailments affecting older people. These diseases can weaken the erection, since with poor blood circulation, blood flows insufficiently 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. First of all, 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 spinal problems 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 tensions, 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 usually has its origin in the genitourinary system itself. Most often, people over 60 years old are susceptible to inflammation of the prostate, 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 not desirable.
What happens to power 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 youth; Most people notice that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decrease. Now, in pharmacies and in the arsenal of traditional medicine, there are many means that allow you to combat this disease constructively.
Therefore, it is very 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 youth; Most people notice that at the age of 60, potency in men begins to decrease.
