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 all potency problems are indirectly related to nicotine addiction, which can ultimately lead to a complete loss of erectile function or infertility.
Don't forget dangerous health conditions like cancer and prostate problems.
To convince yourself of the dangers of smoking, you should 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, speed of arousal, presence of good sexual desire, as well as full ejaculation and orgasm at the end. According to available data, the average duration of sexual intercourse is about 2. 5 minutes, while a 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 with regular contacts, we should talk about the initial phase of potency reduction.
If the problem that caused the erectile dysfunction is not removed, the degree of blood flow to 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, but also to consider ways to preserve men's health without using radical measures and dangerous drugs.
Positive factors for potency
In order to ensure that men's health always remains within the necessary limits, you should lead a healthy lifestyle and also 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 enables better and longer-lasting sexual intercourse.
- Avoid foods with carcinogens, which only inhibit sexual function. Natural vegetables, turkey, chicken, fresh fruits from local latitudes are what 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 it twice a week, with green vegetables as a side dish.
- For better resultsYou can add spices such as cumin, saffron, garlic, anise and basil to your food.
- Taking a multivitamin, which should be carried out twice a year in spring and autumn, when the organism is most sensitive to various disorders and diseases.
- Consume seafood with selenium and iodine regularlyWhite fish, shrimp and squid are suitable for this.
- Have a regular sex life. To maintain men's health, you should have 2-3 sexual intercourses per week.
Negative factors for potency
In addition to including 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 sexual intercourse.
- Constant stress. They also negatively affect a man's cardiovascular system, because of which the heart simply cannot pump blood normally. This can worsen the quality and duration of sexual intercourse, and problems with erection will also appear.
- Eating fatty foodswith a lot of carcinogens. They overload the heart, which ultimately leads to a deterioration of 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, but on the contrary significantly worsen and wear it down, which can lead not only to a decrease in potency, but even to cardiac arrest.
- Infrequent or too frequent sexual relations. With daily and numerous sexual relations, the system simply will not have time to recover. At the same time, the reproductive system suffers, because the amount of sperm decreases several times. Infrequent sexual relations stimulate the accumulation of large amounts of toxic substances in the body and excessive sexual tension, which can ultimately lead to the inability to have sex at the right time.
- Overweight and obesity. Excess weight puts pressure on all pelvic organs, the heart works hard to provide oxygen for 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 influence 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 poisons.
In some cases, even one dose of smoking leads to a decrease in erectile function by 20% of normal.
At the same timeblood flow to the genital organ is significantly reduced, since toxic substances significantly narrow blood vessels due to the accumulation of harmful sediment in them and a strong reduction in the elasticity of the walls. This is why the penis, even when erect, 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 inhibits its quality. At the same time, the synthesis of prostaglandin E2, which suppresses prostate function, is blocked. It begins to grow and puts pressure on all pelvic organs, interfering with urinary function.
Under the influence of these factors, the testicles can no longer produce sperm normally, its quantity decreases significantly, and the man actually becomes infertile. In many cases, the restoration of reproductive function becomes possible only after long treatment and taking drugs that stimulate potency and the reproductive system.
Myths and truths about smoking
Cigarettes help relieve stress
Mild euphoria and peace are achieved far beyond the beneficial properties of cigarette smoke.Carcinogens, neurotoxins and nicotine act on the body like a light drug.
Because of this, a person gets 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 filled with oxygen, but with a mixture of harmful substances.
Gradually, the smoker's body will need more and more poison, which is why, to calm his nerves, he 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 rejection of nicotine.The reason is the constant desire to replace the cigarette with something else, what food becomes. A smoker simply does not notice how much food he eats per day. Lack of physical activity and excessive appetite are the reasons for gaining weight after quitting smoking. It is worth understanding that obesity and increased body weight ultimately 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 give up cigarettes 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 development problems may also occur.
Quitting smoking suddenly is very stressful and dangerous
A smoker's inability to overcome addiction should not be justified by false beliefs that suddenly quitting smoking can lead to stress, problems with the heart and nervous system.
After the cessation of tobacco addiction, the patient will begin to restore all bodily functions, within a year the lungs and bronchi will be cleaned of tobacco impurities and harmful tars. There is no danger in giving up a bad habit, even if a man has been smoking for several decades.
Smoking is a habit that can be easily broken
This opinion is fundamentally wrong.Smoking is a complete addiction, which in many cases requires medical help. 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 smoke or a completely smoked cigarette.
At the same time, the concentration of harmful substances after smoking begins to decrease 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 original.
Conclusion
Smoking for men always has a negative effect on the entire reproductive system and potency. Already after the first cigarette, the quality of sperm drops significantly, its quantity decreases, and the risk of developing infertility and cancer, including the malignant type, increases.
It is worth approaching the decision to smoke as thoughtfully as possible, realizing that the health of all systems will have to pay for it. The statistics are inexorable, every year the number of infertile men increases many times, and at the same time the profits of pharmaceutical companies on drugs against impotence and disorders in the reproductive system increase.
