My morning erection is gone

A morning erection is like the breath of your penis. He should "get up" several times a night, even if you sleep like a baby.

If you wake up, and he is quiet and calm, like a monk in a Zen garden, this is not the norm. This is not "tired", not "nervous", not "heat". This is a problem with blood supply.

In medicine, this is called foamy turbidity "And yes, there are special devices that monitor whether your friend breathes at night. But you can understand yourself: if "hello, morning" is gone, don't ignore it.

Do you get up to use the bathroom at night? It's not just "age"

If you've started getting up regularly to use the bathroom at night—alas, this could be a warning sign from your prostate.
And the prostate is, let's just say, your erector conductor. It monitors, lubricates, and controls many processes.
Problems with her → erectile problems. It's that simple. Don't expect it to "go away on its own."

Do you have a varicocele? Or hemorrhoids? Prepare for the worst

Both varicocele (varicose veins of the testicles) and hemorrhoids are manifestations internal varicose veins of the pelvis. And when you have pelvic congestion, your penis doesn't work consistently. The mechanism is simple: impaired venous outflow means that pressure, nutrient supply, and blood flow to the penis are disrupted.

An erection isn't magic—it's hydraulics. And if your pipes are clogged, you won't be able to get it up.

Sitting around, booze, cigarettes, and sugar

Sound like a typical evening after work? Well, here's the thing—it's Your Slow Road to Impotence:

• If you sit for days on end, blood will pool in your pelvis.
• If you drink often, your blood vessels constrict.
• If you smoke, you're killing your capillaries.
• If you have a sweet tooth, you're sending your arteries on their final journey.
  And the cherry is that all this together hits the ability of your "crowbar" to stand up quickly, clearly and confidently on command.

The belly grows, potency declines

Lower belly fat is endocrine mine. It converts your testosterone into estrogen.

The thicker the belly, the more "feminine" you are in terms of hormonal profile.
Testosterone levels → libido → erection. It's a simple chain of events. Want a hard-on? Lose that belly.

What to do in order not to become "this dude"?

Actually, it's simple, obvious, but incredibly true:

• Start moving. Running, walking, biking—anything at all.
• Stop eating so much sugar and getting drunk every weekend.
• Lose weight.
• Get your prostate checked if you've started having to get up at night to use the bathroom.
• And if you can't get it up in the morning—go see a doctor. Not a shaman, and don't Google it. Go see a urologist.

As long as you're able to read this article, you still have a chance to fix things.
And if you ignore it, then you will complain that "a man does not excite". Spoiler: it's not that he's not "your type". And not in age.
