Some men face the problem of impotence at a fairly early age.
Most of them insist that they have no reasons for such a serious disorder, forgetting about such a negative factor as smoking.
Almost today70% of all potency problems are indirectly related to nicotine addiction, which can eventually lead to complete loss of erectile function or infertility.
Don't forget about 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 hinder it.
What is potency?
Potency refers to the degree of penile erection, rapidity of arousal, presence of good sexual desire, as well as complete ejaculation and orgasm at the end. According to available data, the average duration of sexual intercourse is about 2. 5 minutes, and the man manages to perform about 60 frictions. These figures do not include the time of the entire sexual contact, but the time after direct penetration.
If a man has problems with at least one component, including a very short duration of sexual intercourse in the presence of regular contacts, we should talk about the initial stage of a decrease in potency.
If the problem that caused the erectile dysfunction is not eliminated, the degree of blood filling of the penis may gradually deteriorate, the libido may decrease and the orgasm may disappear completely.
In such cases, we are talking about a pronounced degree of impotence, which can lead to a complete loss of the possibility of sexual intercourse.
Since many factors can lead to such conditions, it is important to highlight the main ones, as well as to consider ways to preserve men's health without the use of radical measures and dangerous drugs.
Positive factors for potency
To ensure that men's health always remains within the necessary limits, you should lead the healthiest possible lifestyle and adhere to a number of recommendations.
- Moderate sports activitywithout the use of chemicals and various doping agents. Physical exercise significantly increases the amount of oxygen in the blood, improves endurance and has a positive effect on the heart, which allows better and longer sexual intercourse.
- Avoid foods with carcinogens, which only suppress sexual function. Natural vegetables, turkey, chicken, fresh fruits from local latitudes are what is needed 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, and the side dish is green vegetables.
- For better resultsYou can add spices to your food like cumin, saffron, garlic, anise and basil.
- Taking multivitamins, which should be carried out twice a year in spring and autumn, when the body is most vulnerable to various disorders and diseases.
- Regularly consume seafood with selenium and iodine, white fish, shrimp and squid are suitable for this.
- Have a regular sex life. To maintain men's health, you should have 2-3 sexual contacts per week.
Negative factors for potency
In addition to incorporating positive factors, you should minimize the number of negative aspects in your life that can affect sexual function.
- Alcohol consumption. Alcoholic drinks disrupt the mechanism of arousal, blood cannot sufficiently fill the cavernous bodies of the penis, which can cause a lack of erection or penile prolapse during direct intercourse.
- Constant stress. They also negatively affect a man's cardiovascular system, which is why the heart simply cannot pump blood normally. This can worsen the quality and duration of intercourse and cause erection problems.
- Eating fatty foodswith many carcinogens. They overload the heart, which ultimately leads to a deterioration in overall health and a decrease in the quality of sexual intercourse.
- Smoking, which affects absolutely all body systems.
- 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 even to cardiac arrest.
- Infrequent or too frequent sexual contact. With 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 contact stimulates the accumulation of large amounts of toxic substances in the body and excessive sexual tension, which can eventually 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 provide oxygen to all tissues and organs. Because of this, the body simply does not have the strength and ability to provide the man with the necessary quality of 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. In addition to this substance,Each cigarette contains more than 4, 000 different chemical impurities and compounds, and more than 200 of them are pure poison.
In some cases, even a single dose of smoking leads to a decrease in erectile function by 20% of normal.
Simultaneouslyblood supply to the genital organ is significantly reduced, because toxic substances significantly narrow blood vessels due to the accumulation of harmful sediments in them and a strong decrease in the elasticity of the walls. Because of this, even in an erect state, the penis is significantly smaller than it was before smoking.
Since nicotine is one of the most powerful neurotoxins, it reduces the amount of sperm production and also suppresses 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, which interferes with urinary function.
Under the influence of these factors, the testicles can no longer normally produce sperm, their quantity decreases significantly and the man actually becomes infertile. In many cases, the restoration of reproductive function becomes possible only after a long course of treatment and taking drugs that stimulate potency and the reproductive system.
Myths and truth about smoking
Cigarettes help relieve stress
Mild euphoria and calmness are achieved through the far from beneficial properties of cigarette smoke.Carcinogens, neurotoxins and nicotine act on the body like a mild drug.
Therefore, the man is left with the impression that he feels better, the stress has disappeared.
But in fact, this is a classic deception of the brain, when it is not full of oxygen, but with a mixture of harmful substances.
Gradually, the smoker's body will need more and more poison, therefore, in order to calm his nerves, the person will smoke several times 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 related to a sudden withdrawal from nicotine.The reason is the constant desire to replace the cigarette with something else, which the food turns into. The smoker simply does not notice 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 eventually lead to problems with erectile function.
When smoking near a pregnant woman, the child gets used to nicotine
It is not about addiction, but about the consequences that are recorded when a pregnant woman constantly inhales tobacco smoke. If a man cannot quit smoking for the sake of the health of the unborn child, it is worth preparing for the fact that the woman may experience premature birth, the baby will be born prematurely and with oxygen starvation, and developmental problems may occur.
Quitting smoking abruptly is very stressful and dangerous
You should not justify the smoker's inability to overcome his addiction with imaginary beliefs that suddenly giving up cigarettes can lead to stress, problems with the heart and nervous system.
After quitting smoking, the patient will begin to restore all body functions, within a year the lungs and bronchi will be cleansed of tobacco impurities and harmful tars. There is no danger of giving up a bad habit, even if a person has smoked for several decades.
Smoking is a habit that can easily be broken
This opinion is fundamentally wrong.Smoking is a full-fledged addiction, which in many cases requires medical help. to enable the patient to get rid of harmful addictions.
Nicotine affects the smoker's body several times faster, causing addiction in many cases after the first puff or smoked cigarette.
At the same time, the concentration of harmful substances after smoking begins to drop sharply after 30 minutes, which causes the need to give the body a new dose.
After just a few months of regular smoking, the daily number of cigarettes can increase several times compared to the initial one.
Conclusion
Smoking in a man always has a negative effect on the entire reproductive system and potency. Even after the first cigarette smoked, the quality of sperm decreases significantly, their quantity decreases and the risk of developing infertility and cancer, including the malignant type, increases.
It is worth approaching the decision to smoke as carefully as possible, understanding that this will have to pay for the health of all systems. The statistics are inexorable, every year the number of infertile men increases several times, at the same time the profits of pharmaceutical companies from drugs against impotence and disorders of the reproductive system increase.
