Potency stands for strength, strength and masculinity in the strong sex. No wonder, then, that stamina restrictions are one of the biggest concerns among men, and for many, a world collapses. In fact, erectile dysfunction is relatively common. Nearly half of all men between the ages of 40 and 70 suffer occasionally, and a quarter more often. But many avoid it out of shame to entrust themselves to a urologist. A fatal mistake. Because the earlier physicians treat so-called erectile dysfunctions, the better the chances of recovery.

Mental stress such as depression, stress or problems in the partnership are considered as frequent triggers for impotence. „In some cases, however, organic causes such as circulatory deficiency, diabetes, unrecognized heart or thyroid disease and the use of certain medications cause the erection does not or only partially“, knows Dr. Reinhold Schaefer, urologist and managing director of the Uro-GmbH Nordrhein, an association of established urologists. However, only a urologist can clarify the exact cause and which therapy seems sensible after a detailed discussion and detailed examination. An important role is played by the male sex hormone testosterone. It is a kind of all-rounder and responsible for many functions in the male body - from the brain to metabolism, muscle and bone function, semen production to stiffening. The determination of the hormone level therefore represents an important part of the urological examination. Based on a questionnaire, the specialist already receives information about a hormone deficiency in advance.

However, if there are no medical reasons, sufferers also contribute with certain behavioral changes in everyday life to improve their stability and maintain their potency into old age. „Alcohol and cigarettes weaken the blood circulation in the crucial body parts. Nicotine in particular doubles the risk of blockage of the arteries, which in some cases even leads to complete inability to erect“, explains Dr. Shepherd. Meaningful alternative: regular exercise. Lightweight endurance training promotes circulation in the blood vessels, prevents obesity and prevents impotence. Low-fat and vitamin-rich diet also contributes to this. Because a high cholesterol and high blood pressure reduce the blood supply to the penis. Even a weak musculature of the pelvic floor affects the erection. Corresponding training helps to increase duration and strength. Simply quench the urine stream while visiting the toilet or tense the muscles in the lumbar region several times a day. Last but not least, it is important to avoid psychological pressure. „In case of strong tension, the stress hormone adrenaline flows into the arteries and may trigger a hardening of the blood vessels“, warns Shepherd. Relaxation and distraction therefore not only calm the nerves, but at the same time enrich the love life. (Pm)
