Potency in men aged 60 and over are hot topics. Of course, erectile function is impaired in old age. This is facilitated by bad habits, some diseases and medications.
But even at the age of 60-65, it is possible to have sex. What is needed for this? First, it is necessary to establish the root cause of impotence and eliminate it. Lifestyle and nutritional adjustments are also recommended.
To enhance the effect, you should use sexual stimulants. The choice can be stopped on PDE-5 inhibitors, ointments, food supplements and adaptogens of plant origin.
Why does potency deteriorate at the age of 60?
Let's find out if a 60-year-old man can have good potency. In theory, the representatives of the stronger sex are able to lead a full-fledged sex life up to 60-65 years, but in practice such cases are extremely rare.
Because? The fact is that in adulthood the level of exogenous testosterone decreases. Put simply, the body is no longer able to produce enough male androgens.
Lack of testosterone leads to the fact that the patient's potency decreases, libido decreases and reproductive function worsens. It is impossible to prevent a decrease in testosterone levels, as it is a natural process. But it is quite possible to level the manifestations of androgen deficiency if certain rules are followed.
The following can also cause a decline in sexual strength in older men:
- Cardiovascular disease. According to statistics, 80% of men between the ages of sixty and seventy have chronic cardiovascular diseases: atherosclerosis, hypertension (high blood pressure), coronary heart disease, heart failure. With these violations, the erection naturally deteriorates.
- Anatomical deformities of the penis and genital trauma.
- Diseases of the prostate gland. Over the years, many men develop prostatitis, BPH and other pancreatic diseases. When they appear, it is quite difficult to restore erectile function.
- Recent myocardial infarction or haemorrhagic / ischemic stroke.
- Inflammatory processes in the spinal cord.
- Inguinal or intervertebral hernia.
- Cerebrovascular disorders.
- Neurogenic disorders - Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, etc.
- Hypofunction / hyperfunction of the thyroid gland.
Also, in older men, potency often decreases due to diabetes mellitus. It is equally dangerous to the sexual power of type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
What else negatively affects potency?
Not only some diseases negatively affect men's health.
Often, the decline in erection at the age of 60-65 is due to taking certain medications.
Reduce the potency of hypertension pills, hypoglycemic pills, gout medications, tranquilizers, sedatives, antidepressants.
Also, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anabolic steroids, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, alpha-1-blockers, estrogens, etc. They have a negative effect.
Other factors that reduce potency:
- To smoke.
- Alcoholism.
- Prolonged sexual abstinence.
- Obesity.
- Passive lifestyle.
- Unbalanced diet.
- Hypothermia.
Men who lead a healthy lifestyle from a young age are less likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction by the age of 60-65.
Sexual Impotence Diagnosis
Improvement of potency in men after the age of 60 is possible only with the correct treatment tactics. Therefore, exams will be required.
Initially, it is necessary to contact a urologist-andrologist.
The doctor should listen carefully to the patient's complaints, study the medical history and conduct a physical examination of the penis and testicles.
The doctor pays special attention to the presence of diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, stroke, atherosclerosis, because it is these diseases that most often cause organic impotence.
To make an accurate diagnosis, the following studies will be needed:
- General and biochemical analysis of urine.
- Ultrasound of the prostate, testicles, thyroid.
- Blood glucose test.
- Biochemical blood test for HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides.
- Doppler ultrasound of the vessels of the penis.
- Monitoring of nocturnal erections.
- Intracavernous test.
- Blood test for PSA.
Based on the results of the examinations, a diagnosis is made and appropriate therapeutic tactics are selected.
How to restore potency in old age?

The use of folk remedies to increase potency in older men is, rather, an addition to conservative therapy. You shouldn't rely on unconventional recipes alone.
It is recommended to use decoctions and infusions after consulting a doctor.
Prostatic massage
Impotence can be a consequence of stagnation of blood in the pelvis and prostatitis. In such cases, prostate massage will come to the rescue.
This procedure can be done on an outpatient basis and at home.
Prostate massage helps treat prostatitis, stabilize erectile function, and prevent blood from pooling in the small pelvis.
In addition, the stimulation of the glandular organ is an excellent prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
There are two types of massage:
- Finger. Carried out by a doctor. The doctor inserts the index finger into the anus and then massages the glandular organ. The duration of the procedure is 2-5 minutes.
- Instrumental. It can be done at home. You must first purchase an invasive prostate stimulator. The massager's head is inserted into the anus, after which the vibrating parts begin to act on the prostate gland.
Prostate massage is contraindicated in proctological diseases, bowel and prostate cancer.
Medicines
It is not problematic to buy drugs to increase potency in men after 60 years. But, unfortunately, not all drugs are effective.
Today, unscrupulous manufacturers often slip mannequins on to their customers.
So, sprays, drops, powder for internal use, cream are completely ineffective.
These drugs will have no effect, so it is simply useless to buy them.
Eliminating erection problems really helps:
- Phosphodiesterase inhibitors 5
- NO-synthase activators.
- Topical ointments. Effective means of increasing potency in old age: nitroglycerin ointment, heparin ointment.
- Plant adaptogens. To maintain male strength, tinctures of leuzea, ginseng, eleutherococcus can be used. They are sold in any pharmacy. Their cost does not exceed 150 rubles.
- Biologically active additives. These riser amps are the safest and most effective at the same time. Food supplements restore a powerful erection, increase libido and have a tonic effect.
- Phyto preparations
If a man has an androgen deficiency, hormone replacement therapy may be prescribed. For its implementation, testosterone-based drugs are used.
Further recommendations
The use of drugs to increase potency in men after the age of 60 will be useless if the patient does not adjust his lifestyle.
First of all, you need to give up bad habits.
Doctors recommend quitting smoking, as tar and nicotine have a destructive effect on blood vessels and, consequently, on erections.
It is also necessary to minimize alcohol consumption. From alcohol, 1 glass of dry red wine will be allowed once a week.
We also recommend:
- Get 6-8 hours of sleep a day.
- Avoid stress and overwork.
- Move more, play sports if possible.
- Eat foods that increase potency. From the menu it is necessary to exclude semi-finished products, fast food, fatty, salty, sweet.
It also doesn't hurt to participate in physiotherapy procedures. For impotence, acupuncture, moxibustion, laser puncture, electrophoresis are effective.
Penile prosthesis
Penile implants are the last resort. It is prescribed in exceptional cases. The procedure is very expensive.
On average, phalloprostheses will cost 3-5 thousand US dollars. The final cost will be influenced by the type of penile prosthesis.
The operation is performed only in private clinics.
Indications for surgery are vasculogenic erectile dysfunction, cavernous fibrosis, Peyronie's disease, artificial penis, endocrine erectile dysfunction.
There are three types of prostheses:
- Hard. They are the cheapest and easiest to use. They are a pair of elastic silicone rods. Installed in the penis. The disadvantage of rigid implants is that when they are inserted, the penis will always be erect.
- Plastic. They consist of two rigid cylinders, but have a plastic memory. This means that a man can easily give any position to the penis.
- Inflatable. They are the most expensive, but they provide the best aesthetic appearance. They consist of a tank with a liquid, an injection pump, a pair of rods. The pump and reservoir are placed in the scrotum and retropubic space, and the rods are placed in the penis. When a man wants to achieve an erection, he pumps liquid into the rods.
Penile implants require diagnosis, because any surgery has its contraindications. The patient should consult a neurologist, cardiologist, surgeon, urologist.
After surgery, the patient will need to take pain relievers and antibiotics. For a certain period of time, you will have to abstain from sexual intercourse.
In general, phalloprosthesis is a very effective procedure. About 95% of transactions are successful. After the installation of prostheses, a man will be able to have sex into a very old age.
