Usually, impotence in men at age 40 is the result of improper lifestyles—bad habits (alcoholism and smoking), stress and nervousness, depression, sleep and rest disturbances.
A 40-year-old man is an accomplished person. In most cases, he has almost everything: family, wife, children, hobbies, a certain circle of friends, and so on. However, men after the age of 40 often have some intimacy problems, which greatly reduces their lives.
There are many reasons for impotence (erectile dysfunction), which are divided into health-related physiological reasons and psychological factors based on the inner state of strong sex.
So, what are the causes of impotence in a 40-year-old man, and which symptoms indicate sexual dysfunction? What precautions can help prevent men from weakening, and what can be done at home?
Male ability
In essence, men’s sexual opportunities in bed are slightly higher than fairness. Ideally, fertility can be retained until old age.
However, this is theoretically. In fact, in many representatives of the strong, by the age of forty, erectile function is significantly weakened, the time of intercourse is short, premature ejaculation, and libido decline.
According to medical statistics, 41-year-old men have more or less sexual dysfunction. If you ignore this problem, the situation will get worse, leading to male impotence.
Testosterone is a male hormone that has a direct impact on the sexual performance of the strong.
Until the age of 30, the hormone levels in the body are high, but from the age of 40-42, the level of testosterone in the blood gradually decreases. And as the years go by, there will be a downward trend, leading to age-related impotence.
However, the level of hormones not only depends on age, the following aspects also affect their concentration in the body:
- Intimate life is irregular.
- Take medicines containing synthetic testosterone (this will have a negative effect on your own hormone production).
- Alcoholic beverages, drugs, cigarettes.
- Inflammatory pathology of the genitourinary system.
- Excess weight.
All these harmful factors will have a negative impact on the overall function of the body, thus accelerating the development of male menopause. In other words, male menopause is erectile dysfunction, so it is impossible to have children.
Male menopause is not a decrease in sexual activity in bed, but a period when testosterone levels in the body are observed to reach a critical level.
In some men, erectile function problems suddenly appear at 43 years of age, while others gradually get worse. The reason for this situation lies not only in external factors, but also in genetic tendencies.
Erectile dysfunction symptoms
Before figuring out why impotence occurs 40 years later, it is necessary to consider the symptoms of sexual dysfunction, which represents half of the human strong.
The "first bell" can be observed after the age of 40, indicating that there is a problem with male power. But not always a man can recognize them and take the necessary measures to prevent impotence.
Therefore, it is not surprising that ignoring the problem can lead to complete impotence at the age of 44. The signs of male impotence are as follows:
- It is impossible to achieve a full erection: the genitals are not firm enough during the entire sexual intercourse, or the erection disappears quickly.
- The man has high sexual desire and wants to have sex, but the penis is still lifeless and drowsy, so he cannot enter the woman for sexual intercourse.
- There is no ejaculation in the context of a hard erection.
- Repetitive intercourse cannot be performed because it is impossible to achieve high-quality erections.
- Reduced libido to the opposite sex, lack of libido.
Such symptoms appear at the age of 45, indicating that you need to consult a doctor for certain treatments to restore erectile function and bed rest.
Such difficulties in men require appropriate treatment. Only in this case is it possible to restore effectiveness and improve erection.
Why do men suffer from impotence?
It is generally believed that impotence is the cause of many elderly men with many chronic diseases and other medical histories. However, practice has shown that impotence has nothing to do with age. Both 20-year-old boys and 46-year-old men may suffer from impotence.
As mentioned above, there are many reasons for the decline of male abilities. Usually, erectile dysfunction is the result of a combination of multiple depressive factors.
The causes of sexually transmitted diseases at the age of 47, in most clinical pictures, are various diseases that directly or indirectly affect sexual performance.
The following pathologies may cause impotence:
- Violation of central nervous system function, hormonal imbalance, diabetes, prostate adenoma, chronic or acute prostatitis.
- Inflammatory process of the genitourinary system, sexually transmitted diseases.
- Arterial hypertension, circulatory system pathology, cardiovascular system problems.
Taking some medications can cause worsening of erections. These include anabolics, drugs used to treat diabetes and arterial hypertension, diuretics and other drugs.
Over time, bad habits such as smoking and drinking can lead to impaired blood circulation in the body. Therefore, this aspect greatly weakens the male sexual ability.
Although psychological erectile dysfunction most often occurs at a young age, it is also possible that at the age of 48, mental moments become the cause of sexual impotence: fear of failure to stay in bed, depression, neurosis, etc.
Getting rid of impotence is not easy, but it is possible. The treatment plan will depend on the underlying cause of the weakened sexual performance.
Treatment of impotence
Perhaps the worst thing in anyone's life is a weakened erection. Many people are embarrassed to see a doctor, so they start taking active erectile stimulants.
The medications are effective and they help solve the problem for a period of time and feel like a man again. However, they do not affect the cause of pathological failure and can lead to psychological dependence, which will only exacerbate the situation.
At the age of 49, to regain effectiveness, you need to solve the problem comprehensively and change your lifestyle. Methods to eliminate male sexual dysfunction:
- Balanced diet. It is necessary to include healthy foods rich in protein, minerals and vitamins in the menu. Eliminate greasy, fried, smoked and salty foods.
- physical activities. The following activities have a positive effect on sexual function: cycling, Kegel exercises, jogging, brisk walking, swimming.
- Quit smoking and drink alcoholic beverages.
In order to accelerate the recovery of erectile function, it is recommended to take herbal preparations-biologically active supplements that can make up for the lack of vitamins and provide energy and strength.
It should be remembered that regular sex is the key to maintaining a high level of sexual strength and increasing testosterone production in the body.

Practice has shown that if you take good care of your sexual health since childhood, many problems in adulthood can be avoided. There are some rules and guidelines that can help prevent sexual dysfunction.
First, any chronic disease must be treated promptly. Any pathology unrelated to the genital area will lead to a chronic course of male erectile dysfunction.
Second, you need to eat correctly, exercise, see a urologist or andrologist every six months (even if there are no problems), and follow a sleep and rest plan.
Products that increase effectiveness:
- Ginger tea, seafood.
- Vegetables and fruits, herbs.
- Quail eggs, natural honey.
- Pine and walnuts, lamb.
- Pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate.
Objectively speaking, 40 years old is the peak period of strong sexual behavior and should not be concealed by intimacy issues.
Male external preparations, such as sprays or gels, act quickly and will help restore "sexual order". Due to the active ingredients, these funds trigger a stable erection.
