Viagra

It's almost a taboo subject amongst healthy men, but Erectile Dysfunction, or ED, affects more than half of all men over the age of 40. For them, a satisfying sex life seemed always to be just out of reach. Being entirely unable to gain an erection, or having difficulties in gaining an erection meant that even those in a loving relationship were finding a fulfilling sex life impossible to achieve.

Then, along came Viagra. The miracle pill promising to banish all those uncomfortable and embarrassing failures in the bedroom. Of course the effectiveness of any medication is subjective; that is, depending on the patient, the results may be different.

Being a prescription drug, Viagra also falls into the category of medicaments that can only be obtained with a medical professionals say-so. For men suffering from ED this means admitting that they have a problem to their doctor, something that most men will find difficult. So, the first message is – talk to your doctor about the problem, no matter how mild.

Even those with mild ED can benefit from Viagra, however the manufacturers own studies show that even with a sugar pill substitute, 40% of suffers saw an improvement in their ED simply as a result of the boosted confidence resulting from admitting the problem and seeking help.

So, Viagra might not even be necessary in a particular case, and it is always as well to avoid taking unnecessary medication. However, if all else fails, Viagra can help most men to achieve a better erection, and maintain it during intercourse. That's what it's for, and it does exactly what it says on the pack, hence it's popularity worldwide.

Women also have their Viagra, and in their case it helps with many problems related to sexual dysfunction such as pain during intercourse. This is because Viagra tends to increase the flow of blood to the genitals which, in women, leads to better lubrication. So, while there's no magic libido pill for women, at least some of the root causes of sexual dysfunction can be treated.

While there is little evidence to suggest dangerous side-effects to using Viagra, there are many non-serious side effects. Firstly, we should point out that any drug that increases blood flow around the body, or to a specific part of the body, could carry risks for those suffering from heart complaints; ask your doctor if unsure.

The side-effects that have been associated with Viagra use include : headaches, diarrhoea, flushing, and a strange tinge to the vision, or occasionally slight blurring. These side-effects become more noticeable with higher doses (up to 100mg) of the drug, and are generally accepted to be reasonably rare.
