- Chronic fatigue and drowsiness. Constant lack of sleep reduces the production of testosterone.
- Male erectile function is adversely affectedcomplications of sexually transmitted diseasesand transferred pathologies of the genital organs.
- Disorders of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems. The circulation of blood in the body depends on the proper functioning of the heart muscle, and therefore any violations and malfunctions of the heart lead to a reduction in blood flow in the genital area. Problems with erectile function can also arise due to disruption of the endocrine glands.
- Unbalanced diet and metabolic disorders. Excess body weight and diabetes lead to problems with erection. Monotonous nutrition, as well as the lack of the required amount of vitamins and minerals, contribute to the disruption of the entire male body, including in the genital area.

- If by the age of 60 there is a weakening of erectile function, experts recommend including more seafood, onions, garlic, pomegranates and bananas in your diet.
- Eating foods high in cholesterol should be strictly limited, but you should not completely abandon these foods. Especially a lot of cholesterol is found in the kidneys, liver and fatty meat, as well as lard and fish. Sausages, butter, sour cream, cream and chicken eggs may be present in the diet, but in limited quantities.
- It should be borne in mind that foods containing magnesium and calcium have a beneficial effect on heart function. Therefore, to saturate the body with these trace elements, it is recommended to eat zucchini, eggplant, new potatoes, grapes and bananas.

Moderate but regular physical training helps lower blood cholesterol and increase potency. Serious sports activities at this age are best avoided. You should not engage in intense running, and you should also exclude strength training on simulators.
After 60 years, it will be useful for a man to do morning exercises, walking, swimming and yoga.
Exercises to restore potency after 60 years
Can a man's erectile function be improved with exercise? As practice shows, this is quite real. Among the many types of various workouts aimed at increasing potency, experts distinguish the following exercises that are suitable for men of mature age:
- Exercises for the muscles of the pelvis. Such classes are universal and suitable for both men and women.

Medical restoration of potency
Treatment of sexual disorders should be comprehensive. To restore potency, men are prescribed drugs that improve the outflow of secretions from the prostate gland, as well as affecting blood circulation in the pelvic organs and the genital area. In addition, it is necessary to take a complex of vitamins, plant substances and minerals.
Of course, patients need such auxiliary drugs that would ensure the onset of an erection at the right time. For example, these may bepharmacological agents containing an active substance that promotes the expansion of the cavernous bodies and an increase in blood flow to the genitals.
There are several types of tablets that contain this substance. The most popular and sought-after remedy is a drug with high efficiency. The action of the drug begins within 15-25 minutes after ingestion and lasts 5-6 hours. The recommended dose is 10 mg/day, however, men over 60 should reduce this to 5 mg/day. Read the instructions carefully: the drug has contraindications (a previous stroke or myocardial infarction, genetic diseases of the retina, kidney pathology).
However, don't be upset about this. Men with a history of the above pathologies mayrestore potency with an alternative drug based on affinity-purified antibodies to endothelial NO synthase. The main advantage of the drug is its absolute safety. The tool can be used by men suffering from coronary heart disease, who have had a stroke, as well as those who are being treated with nitrates. Thanks to the remedy, approximately 80% of older men fully restore erectile function. The effectiveness of the drug is determined by the age and type of existing pathologies.
But despite the fact that this method of restoring potency is safe, widely available and highly effective, it has one rather serious drawback: the emergence of psychological dependence. The fact is that a man, having already completely got rid of the problem, continues to take medications because of the pleasant sensations that arise.
If all the tried methods have not led to the desired result, the only way out is to carry out the operation. Thanks to surgical intervention, blood flow in the genital area improves, the penis fills with blood faster and enters an erection.
