Some men face the problem of impotence at a fairly young age.
Most of them insist that they have no reason for such a serious disorder, forgetting about such a negative factor as smoking.
Almost today70% of potency problems are indirectly related to nicotine addiction, which can ultimately lead to complete loss of erectile function or infertility.
Let's not forget dangerous health conditions like cancer and prostate problems.
To be convinced of the dangers of smoking, you need to understand the concept of potency and the factors that can inhibit it.
What is potency?
Potency refers to the degree of erection of the penis, the speed of arousal, the presence of good sexual desire and complete ejaculation and orgasm at the end. According to the available data, the average duration of sexual intercourse is about 2. 5 minutes, while a man can perform about 60 frictions. These data do not include the time of the entire sexual intercourse, but the time immediately after penetration.
If a man has problems with at least one component, including a very short sexual relationship with regular intercourse, then we should talk about the initial stage of a decrease in potency.
If the problem causing erectile dysfunction does not go away, the level of blood filling of the penis may gradually deteriorate, libido may decrease, and orgasm may disappear completely.
In such cases, we are talking about a pronounced degree of impotence, which can lead to the complete loss of the possibility of sexual intercourse.
Since many factors can lead to such conditions, it is important to highlight the main ones and consider ways to preserve men's health without the use of radical measures and dangerous drugs.
Positive factors in terms of potency
In order for men's health to always remain within the necessary limits, you should lead the healthiest possible lifestyle and follow a number of recommendations.
- Moderate sports activitywithout the use of chemicals and various doping agents. Exercise significantly increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, improves endurance and has a positive effect on the heart, which allows for better and longer sexual intercourse.
- Avoid foods that contain carcinogens, which only inhibit sexual function. Natural vegetables, turkey, chicken, fresh fruits from local latitudes are necessary for the normal functioning of the entire reproductive and reproductive system.
- Eat red meat regularly, but in order not to worsen your condition, it is enough to do this twice a week, with green vegetables as a side dish.
- For better resultsYou can add spices to your food such as cumin, saffron, garlic, anise and basil.
- Taking a multivitamin, which should be done twice a year in spring and autumn, when the body is most susceptible to various disorders and diseases.
- Eat seafood with selenium and iodine regularly, white fish, shrimp and squid are suitable for this.
- Have a regular sex life. In order to maintain male health, you should have 2-3 sexual intercourses per week.
Negative factors affecting potency
In addition to including positive factors, you should minimize the number of negative aspects in your life that affect sexual function.
- Alcohol consumption. Alcoholic drinks disrupt the mechanism of arousal, blood cannot satisfactorily fill the corpora cavernosa of the penis, which can cause a lack of erection or penile prolapse during direct sexual contact.
- Constant stress. They also have a negative effect on the man's cardiovascular system, which is why the heart simply cannot pump blood normally. This can impair the quality and duration of sexual intercourse, and erectile problems may occur.
- Eating fatty foodswith many carcinogens. They overload the heart, which ultimately leads to a deterioration in general health and the quality of sexual intercourse.
- Smoking, which affects absolutely all systems of the body.
- Excessive physical activity. They do not stimulate the body, on the contrary, they significantly deteriorate and wear it out, which can lead not only to a decrease in potency, but also to cardiac arrest.
- Infrequent or too frequent sexual intercourse. In the case of daily and numerous sexual acts, the system simply will not have time to recover. At the same time, the reproductive system suffers, as the amount of sperm decreases several times. Infrequent sexual intercourse stimulates the accumulation of large amounts of toxic substances and excessive sexual tension in the body, which can ultimately lead to the inability to have sex at the right time.
- Overweight and obesity. Extra pounds put pressure on all pelvic organs, the heart works hard to supply oxygen to all tissues and organs. Because of this, the body simply does not have the strength and ability to provide a man with the quality required for an erection.
The effect of smoking on the reproductive system and potency
Cigarettes are not only nicotine, which affects all organs and systems of the human body. Apart from this materialEach cigarette contains more than 4, 000 different chemical impurities and compounds, and more than 200 of them are pure poisons.
In some cases, just one dose of smoking leads to a 20% reduction in erectile function.
At the same timethe blood supply to the genital organ is significantly reduced, since the toxic substances significantly narrow the blood vessels due to the accumulation of harmful sediment in them and a strong decrease in the elasticity of the walls. For this reason, the penis is significantly smaller even when erect than it was before smoking.
Since nicotine is one of the most powerful neurotoxins, it reduces the amount of sperm production and its quality. At the same time, the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 is blocked, which suppresses the function of the prostate gland. It begins to grow and puts pressure on all the pelvic organs, disrupting the function of urine.
As a result of these factors, the testicles are no longer able to produce sperm normally, their quantity decreases significantly, and the man actually becomes infertile. In many cases, recovery of reproductive function is possible only after long-term treatment and taking drugs that stimulate potency and the reproductive system.
Myths and truths about smoking
Cigarettes help relieve stress
Mild euphoria and peace can be achieved through the far from beneficial properties of cigarette smoke.Carcinogens, neurotoxins and nicotine act like soft drugs on the body.
Therefore, the man gets the impression that he feels better, that the stress has disappeared.
But in fact, this is a classic deception of the brain, when it is filled not with oxygen, but with a mixture of harmful substances.
Gradually, the smoker's body requires more and more poison, so in order to calm the nerves, the man smokes many more cigarettes than at the beginning.
Quitting smoking increases weight
If a man suddenly begins to gain weight, do not think that the reason is a sudden refusal of nicotine.The reason is the constant desire to change cigarettes to something else, which the food becomes. A smoker simply does not realize how much food he eats in a day. Lack of physical activity and excessive appetite are the causes of weight gain after quitting smoking. It is worth understanding that obesity and increased body weight ultimately lead to problems with erectile function.
When you smoke near a pregnant woman, the child gets used to the nicotine
It's not about addiction, it's about the consequences of a pregnant woman constantly inhaling tobacco smoke. If the man cannot give up cigarettes for the sake of the unborn child's health, it is worth preparing for the fact that the woman may be born prematurely, the baby may be born prematurely and starved of oxygen, and developmental problems may occur.
Quitting smoking suddenly is very stressful and dangerous
You should not justify the smoker's inability to overcome his addiction with imaginary beliefs that sudden cessation of smoking can lead to stress, heart and nervous system problems.
After quitting smoking, the patient begins to restore all body functions, within a year the lungs and bronchial tubes are cleansed of tobacco impurities and harmful tars. There is no danger of giving up a bad habit, even if a man has been smoking for decades.
Smoking is an easy habit to break
This opinion is fundamentally wrong.Smoking is a full-fledged addiction, which in many cases requires medical attention. to free the patient from harmful passions.
Nicotine affects the smoker's body several times faster, causing addiction in many cases after the first puff or a fully smoked cigarette.
At the same time, the concentration of harmful substances after smoking begins to decrease suddenly after 30 minutes, due to which the body needs to be given a new dose.
After just a few months of regular smoking, the number of daily cigarettes can increase several times compared to the original.
Conclusion
Male smoking always has a negative effect on the entire reproductive system and potency. Even after the first cigarette smoked, the quality of sperm significantly deteriorates, its quantity decreases, and the risk of infertility and cancer, including malignant ones, increases.
It is worthwhile to approach the decision about smoking as thoughtfully as possible, understanding that this has to be paid for the health of all systems. The statistics are indisputable, the number of infertile men increases several times every year, and at the same time, the profit of pharmaceutical companies on drugs against impotence and disorders of the reproductive system increases.
