Erectile dysfunction has been the most common problem
upsetting the lives of men. But, Viagra (sildenafil) has proven to be the ray
of hope in such men’s lives. This medication was then joined by two other
medications, Levitra and Cialis, to help men who have a difficulty in getting
an erection.
Okay, now what is erectile dysfunction? This dysfunction in
men (also known as impotence by some people) refers to the inability to get or
keep an erection firm enough to get engaged in a sexual intercourse. A reduced
sexual desire is also seen among men who suffer from impotence.
Having a difficulty in getting an erection sometimes is
okay. But having that difficulty every time and not speaking about it to a
doctor is not okay.
People who suffer from this dysfunction must not stay quiet
about it. They must go to a doctor and speak to them and treat it as soon as
possible.
Let us get to know about an ED
treatment, Viagra.
What does Viagra do?
Approved by FDA in 1998, this PDE5 inhibitor helps a man get
an erection with the help of sexual stimulation. PDE5 is a chemical that
prevents the flow of blood to certain areas of a human body. To get an
erection, there needs to be proper flow of blood to the penile region. What
this drug does is that it prevents further production of the PDE5 chemical in
the body, which leads to a greater flow of blood in a man’s body. Thus,
whenever a man has sexual stimulation, they achieve an erection.
Note that Viagra does not provide any protection against
sexually transmitted diseases. You need to use proper protection to prevent
yourself from any such diseases. Teenagers, less than 18 years of age must not
use this drug unless there is medical supervision.
