Viagra: The solution to the ED problems
Erectile dysfunction is common in today’s world. According
to a study by Cleveland Clinic, USA one out of every four men above the age of
40 suffer from erectile dysfunction. This means the problem of erectile
dysfunction is not as rare as it might seem to some. In fact, the numbers are
on the rise. Even then people have the notion that hiding the fact that one has
erectile dysfunction is in their best interest. This is not so, as it can
worsen the condition even further. It has been often seen that erectile dysfunction
is the underlying symptom of many cardiac and neural ailments. Truth is, every man
has had the difficulty in gaining an erection at least once in his life. These are
not a source of worry. However when the frequency increases, it might be source
of worry.
As such let us define erectile
dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to gain or maintain an
erection firm enough for intercourse.
With time though, there have been many medications that are
developed to help a person gain an erection. Viagra is one of them. Let us see
more in detail.
Overview
The concept of ED medications was not even thought of in the
yesteryears. Having ED meant the end of one’s manhood. This meant that the
people would often hide it. This resulted in the emergence of ED pills. Viagra
is one such revolutionary ED pill. It was originally developed as the cure for
high blood pressure and angina (a chest pain associated with heart ailments)
Originally firm and longer than usual erections were
considered as a side effect from the ingestion of these pills. However, it was
found that the medication was more suited for the treatment of ED rather than
the treatment of high blood pressure. The medication has Sildenafil Citrate as
its active compound, which is a PDE5 inhibitor.
PDE5 inhibitors help in the relaxation of the blood vessels
in the muscles of the male genitals. This relaxation allows the blood in the
vicinity to gush in and make the muscles swell up resulting in the erection of
the genitals.
