Impotence in men at the age of 40, as a rule, is the result of an improper lifestyle - bad habits (alcohol and smoking), stress and nervous tension, depression, sleep and rest disorders.
A 40-year-old man is an experienced personality who in many cases is almost everything: family, wife, children, hobbies, certain circles of friends, etc. However, 40 -year -old men often experience intimate problems, which significantly darken their lives.
There are many causes of impotence (erectile dysfunction), and they are all divided into physiological causes related to health, and psychological factors based on the internal state of the stronger sex.
So, what are the causes of impotence in men at the age of 40, and what are the symptoms that indicate the presence of sexual dysfunction? What preventive measures will help prevent the weakening of male strength, and what can be done at home?
Male abilities
It is naturally stated that in men the chances of sexual intercourse in bed are slightly higher than in fair sex. The ability to have children, ideally, can be maintained until old age.
However, this is theoretically, in fact, in many representatives of strong people, at the age of forty, erectile function becomes weak, there is a short sexual intercourse, premature ejaculation, and a decrease in sexual desire.
Medical statistics claim that men at the age of 41 suffer from sexual dysfunction to one degree or another. If the problem is ignored, the condition will worsen, causing men to become impotent.
Testosterone is a male hormone that has a direct effect on the sexual performance of stronger sex.
Until the age of about 30 years, hormone levels in the body are high, but starting from 40-42 years, the content of testosterone in the blood gradually decreases. And over the years, there will be a downward trend, which in turn leads to age-related impotence.
However, hormone levels do not only depend on age, the following aspects can affect its concentration in the body:
- Perversion of intimate life.
- Taking medications that include synthetic testosterone (this time has a negative effect on your own hormone production).
- Alcoholic beverages, drugs, cigarettes.
- Inflammatory pathology of the genitourinary system.
- Overweight.
All these damaging factors negatively affect the functioning of the body as a whole, as a result of which the development of menopause in men is accelerated. In other words, male menopause is an erectile dysfunction, as a result of which it is impossible to have children.
Menopause in men is not a decrease in sexual activity in bed, this is the period when critical testosterone levels in the body are observed.
In some men, problems with erectile function develop suddenly at age 43, while others experience a gradual increase in the disorder. These reasons are not only due to external factors, but also hereditary tendencies.
Symptoms of erectile dysfunction
Before finding out why impotence develops after 40 years, it is necessary to consider the symptoms that indicate sexual dysfunction in representatives of the strong half of humanity.
The "first bell", signaling a problem with male strength, can be observed after the age of 40 years. But not always a man can recognize it, respectively, to take the necessary steps to prevent impotence.

Why do men become impotent?
It is generally accepted that impotence is many older men who have a history of chronic diseases and other pathologies. However, practice shows that impotence does not depend on age, and both 20-year-old boys and 46-year-old men can suffer from the disease.

Taking some medications causes erectile dysfunction. These include anabolics, medications for the treatment of diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension, diuretics and other medications.
Bad habits such as smoking and alcohol over time cause blood circulation to be disrupted in the body. Therefore, this aspect significantly weakens male sexual ability.
Despite the fact that psychological erectile dysfunction most often occurs at a young age, possibly also at the age of 48, psychological moments become the etiology of sexual impotence: fear of sleep failure, depression, neurosis, etc.
Getting rid of impotence is not easy, but it is possible. The treatment regimen will depend on the underlying cause of the weakening of sexual power.
