The world today is filled with so much stress that it has
started affecting our health. Muscular pain, various cardiac or respiratory
ailments are penetrating our society like they belong there.
Our society is meant to be a progressive place that inspires
and pushes the individuals to go forward in their dreams. Not one where, the
people are affected with ailments that binds and brings us down. Quite frankly,
we all have the ability to stay fit and away from these ailments.
All we need is proper care and precaution…
One of the most common ailments in the world today is
Erectile Dysfunction.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Simply put, it is the inability of the man to gain or maintain
an erection firm enough for intercourse. Before we go into what causes erectile
dysfunction we first need to understand how erections occur.
The arteries relax and open up to let more blood to flow in;
at the same time, the veins close up. Once blood is in the penis, pressure
traps it within the corpora cavernosa. Your penis expands and holds the erection.
When the inflow of blood stops and the veins open, your penis becomes soft.
What happens in erectile dysfunction?
The arteries that are meant to relax don’t and as a result
the blood cannot enter the chambers of the penis. As a result the person is
unable to gain an erection. Most often erectile dysfunction is an underlying
symptom of other serious ailments that have a higher risk factor. Ailments like
cardiac ailments or neural ailments can largely be a determining factor for the
condition of erectile dysfunction. Lack of sexual stimulation can also be a
cause of erectile dysfunction.
So is erectile dysfunction incurable?
Absolutely not!
Medical science has gifted us with means to tackle the
problem efficiently. There are various mechanical devices, medications and
exercises that can be prescribed by the doctor for your benefit.
Let’s talk about the medications…
Primary of the ED medications is Viagra.
Viagra is the world’s first oral ED pill. Viagra is an FDA
Approved ED drug (1998). Viagra is usually marketed as a blue, diamond pill
having the logo of the Pfizer Laboratories on one side. The active ingredient
in Viagra is Sildenafil Citrate, which is a PDE5 inhibitor.
PDE5 inhibitors, you say??
In simple terms, these compounds relax the arteries and
widen their opening thus allowing blood to flow in. This causes an erection
that is firm and lasts adequately long enough for intercourse.
Is Viagra safe?
Yes Viagra
is safe for use. It is one of the most popular medications for erectile
dysfunction. There have been so many reports of successful treatment of
erectile dysfunction with Viagra. There are however some precautions that need
to be taken to prevent any harmful effects that may come upon the health of the
person.
Following are some of the common precautions:
- Never take Viagra with nitrate medication
- Never take Viagra with grapefruit
- Never take Viagra with alcohol.
Drinking alcohol decreases the blood which stays within your
penis, which makes it harder for you to get an erection. If you’re taking
Viagra because you have had erection problems in the past, you should avoid
alcohol.
In addition, alcohol and Viagra (and similar products
like Viagra Connect or Sildenafil) can interact. Viagra lowers your
blood pressure, as does alcohol. If your blood pressure level gets
too low, you may experience dizziness, light-headedness, fainting, headache and
even heart palpitations. Having these Viagra side effects isn’t
just potentially dangerous - it also certainly doesn’t improve your sexual
performance.
