What is potency?
Male potency is the ability of the male body to perform sexual intercourse, which will bring satisfaction to both sexual partners. A fulfilled sex life is necessary for the development of a man. Many people equate the word "potency" with the term "erection". However, potency is not only affected by erection. Attraction to the opposite sex, quality and duration of sexual intercourse are important for a good sex life.
Symptoms of low potency in the stronger sex are expressed:
- weak erection or its complete absence;
- premature ejaculation;
- lack of sexual desire;
- male frigidity.
Factors affecting male potency

- Age;

With age, a man's sexual power changes. Potency in men aged 60 and over often deteriorates, this is due to a decrease in testosterone production, atherosclerotic vascular changes and diseases of the endocrine system.
Many men at this age suffer from prostatitis due to a sedentary lifestyle. Decreased potency in prostatitis occurs quite often.
Some men show low potency even at a young age. The young man has problems with potency due to an unhealthy lifestyle, inflammation of the pelvic organs and excessive alcohol consumption. Various hormonal disorders can slow down blood flow to the penis.
Chronic diseases as a cause

However, the complications associated with this disease, pain, stress and anxiety due to the course of the disease can reduce a man's sexual power.
In hypertension, the elasticity of blood vessels decreases and blood flow to the penis decreases. Half of men with hypertension experience a flaccid penis during intercourse.
In the process of treating hypertension, drugs are prescribed that also reduce potency. Chronic thyroid disease and diabetes also reduce libido.
