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. Support of the erect penis is facilitated by a rubber cuff positioned 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 taking anticoagulants.
In some cases, when conservative treatment methods do not help, surgical procedures, including penile prosthesis, are indicated. Among the different types of implants, the preferred one is a three-component inflatable prosthesis, which includes two implanted tubes connected to a pump positioned in the scrotum and a reservoir in the preperitoneal space.
Special instructions for men who use methods to increase potency.
Appropriate nutrition
To restore potency after 60 years, a number of measures are needed. Proper nutrition plays one of the main roles. When creating a healthy menu, it is necessary to take into account the fact that as man ages, he needs less animal proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate eggs, fatty meat and sour cream from the diet. The following products help restore potency:
- dried fruit (Brazilian, pistachio, walnuts) mixed with honey and dried fruit;
- beans and cereals: they will be especially useful if you have diabetes;
- green vegetables belonging to the cruciferous family: different varieties of cabbage, asparagus, onions, peppers);
- fresh fruit 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 numerous factors that aggravate the situation and increase the risk of impaired erection and impotence in old age:
- diabetes;
- atherosclerosis;
- to smoke;
- poor nutrition;
- alcohol abuse;
- fatigue;
- 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, erection decreases very quickly; .
Prevention
Age-related changes in the "work" of the penis cannot be prevented or stopped, but 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 full of infections;
- do not practice "sexual marathons" with multiple partners or just one, but all night without interruption;
- do not overcool the genitals:
- do not isolate them beyond measure (this leads to sterility);
- protect the scrotal area from injury, including lifting excessive weight.
The tips described in the article will help restore a normal sex life: 2-4 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 older people it is very important to adhere to a special diet. The menu should include:
- egg yolks;
- all types of dried fruit;
- carrot;
- seafood;
- green;
- 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 do your best to fight excess weight. It does not help in any way to increase potency. The calorie content of the diet can also be slightly reduced compared to the age norm - this will not cause harm.
In old age, regular sex life is extremely important. Plus, it never needs 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 of the prostate gland (and, in turn, occurs due to prolonged sexual abstinence).
It is extremely important that intimate life occurs without frequent changes of partners. Sometimes a small interruption in intimate life even increases desire, erection and makes sensations during sex more acute.
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 drugs in elderly men is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor.
Regular sex life
No matter how paradoxical it may seem, regular sexual intercourse also helps to improve potency.
At a young age, men usually do not have erection problems. This is due to the ability to respond to any sexual arousal that does not require further stimulation.
In theory, men of all ages should maintain normal sexual activity, however, due to accumulated diseases and blood vessel problems, erectile dysfunction occurs.
The regularity of sexual activity is as important as its moderation. This means that sexual intercourse should be regular, preferably without frequent changes of sexual partners and without long periods of abstinence.
The most interesting thing is that a short interruption in sexual activity, on the contrary, stimulates desire, improves erection and increases libido.
In this case it is better to combine a healthy lifestyle with taking medications.
Traditional medicine recipes
When restoring sexual function in sixty-year-old men, doctors pay special attention to traditional medicine: herbal rather than synthetic drugs. Naturally their action occurs more slowly, but the effect is more persistent and long-lasting. Furthermore, each medicine can be prepared at home or purchased in a ready-made pharmacy. The most popular drugs to increase libido and eliminate erectile dysfunction are as follows:
- alcoholic tincture of ginseng root;
- hemp seeds;
- common Dubrovnik decoction;
- bee bread: 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 body's neurovascular and hormonal systems, past illnesses, surgical operations in the pelvic area, as well as psychological disorders and stressful conditions. A decrease in potency with age is caused mainly by inhibition of gonadal function and a corresponding decrease in testosterone production.
Erections in your 60s become irregular due to age-related hormonal changes.
The gonads gradually begin to stop functioning, a decrease in the size of the testicles and a decrease in libido are observed. During sex, more and more dysfunctions of erectile function occur and difficulties arise with arousal or ejaculation. For a satisfactory continuation and completion of sexual intercourse, further stimulation is necessary; 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 gonadal function. The time and speed of reduction of this hormone depends on heredity and a person's lifestyle. Some people have potency problems after 40, and for some sexual health remains even at an advanced age;
- the presence of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular system, fragility of the venous walls, tendency to varicose veins and circulatory disorders. This complex of disorders directly affects the filling of the corpora cavernosa of the penis during erection and ensures 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, injuries of the spine;
- 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, hyperplasia of the prostate, adenomas that compress blood vessels and interfere with normal blood circulation;
- systematic abuse of alcohol, tobacco or narcotic substances, which negatively affect the entire organism, worsen the functioning of the nervous system, reduce sensitivity and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases;
- lack of necessary physical activity, sedentary work, formation of blood stagnation in the pelvic area and aggravation of the condition of the blood vessels;
- constant use of drugs that directly or indirectly inhibit erectile function, for example tranquilizers or antidepressants;
- chronic stress, fatigue, failure to comply 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 these factors can aggravate the onset of gonadal decline and lead to erectile dysfunction at a very early age. The loss of a full-fledged sexual 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, you can 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 true. Libido can be preserved, the need for sexual intercourse remains, the clear and harmonious interaction in the nervous system is simply interrupted. The erection mechanism begins to function poorly due to testosterone deficiency and vascular degradation. This leads to failures during sex, triggers a circle of fears and psychological complexes, which often force a man to give up sexual activity.

What is power
In the man's 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 have 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 corpora cavernosa of the penis;
- its increase;
- ability to maintain long-term sexual relationships.
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;
- central nervous system diseases.
ability to maintain long-term sexual relationships.
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:
- Cardiac pathologies: 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 nowadays, creates difficulties for the stronger sex not only with urination, as in the famous advertisement, but also with erectile function.
- Hormonal imbalances are a deficiency of sex hormones, the level of which significantly decreases in older age, reduces sexual desire and reduces the possibility of sexual intercourse.
- Metabolic disorders: Imbalance of metabolic processes affects potency.
- Uncontrolled use of drugs: The use of any drugs by an elderly person, especially hormonal drugs, must be agreed with the attending physician.
Sometimes, to solve the problem, you simply need 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. All that is left for them is to silently vanish, sitting on a bench at the entrance. Many, in fact, 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 dedicate themselves to retired relatives or sit in front of the TV. Against the background of a life so poor in emotions, the loss of power is experienced particularly 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 decent amount of knowledge and skills. He becomes more tolerant, wiser, but at the same time he is still preserved intellectually and physically. Now it's time to do what you never had time for:
- He masters new knowledge: he begins to learn languages, masters a computer;
- Sports activities such as swimming, long walks, running and yoga can be suitable choices for any health condition;
- Discover new facets of sex. There are many techniques and practices that will give you new sensations.
- Voyage. Not everyone can afford tours to Europe, but you can more often visit friends in a nearby 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. Erectile disorders often occur under the influence of experiences, stress, even against the background of the normal physical state of the body.

Normal or pathological: is everything okay?
The first thing to do 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 people over the age of 60 is, on average, 1-2 per week. If a representative of the stronger half of humanity manages to maintain this level of sexual activity, then everything is in order.
- Morning erection. Maintaining a morning erection is an indicator of sexual health. But its absence is neither a sentence nor 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 night potency also disappears, there is reason to be cautious. To determine how things go at night, you need to make a paper ring according to the size of the penis and put it at the base of the penis overnight. 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 the motility of spermatozoa 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 rule out prostatitis.
- Prostate juice analysis. 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 the visit to 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 kinds of dysfunctions appear in the internal organs. The genitourinary system is one of the most sensitive to these age-related disorders, which lead to a significant deterioration in potency.
The most common cause of the disease is hormone levels that change with age. In people in their 60s the amount of testosterone in the blood decreases significantly, which leads to 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 disorders of vision, breathing or the functioning of the circulatory system, but also to impotence.
Cardiovascular diseases traditionally top the list of the most dangerous ailments affecting the elderly. These diseases can weaken erection, since with poor blood circulation, insufficient blood flow to the genital organ and the functioning of the pelvic organs are significantly weakened.
Weak potency at 60 can also be caused by problems with the musculoskeletal system. First, the functioning of the genital organs can be impaired 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 requires rehabilitation. Numerous stresses, poor nutrition and personal problems do nothing but weaken it. Lack of cerebral circulation, spinal cord problems, 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 the age of 60 are susceptible to inflammation of the prostate gland, 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 harmful 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.
