This drug is helpful not only to men but also greatly benefits the women as it makes a couple’s life strong and exciting, resulting in a happy healthy relationship. The once powerless men became powerful and alive with Viagra, which gave them the same old feel of being youthful. Who knows, Viagra maybe the elixir of life which man has been searching for since ancient times!!
Though considered not a subject to be discussed majority of men suffer from erectile dysfunction. It is thought to be a very clandestine subject, the discovery of which is sufficient to make a male feel powerless and weak. That is why in earlier days men were reluctant to disclose that they suffer from erectile dysfunction and even ignored medical treatment. However, after Pfizer.Inc introduced viagra in 1999, all orthodox barriers were broken, men came to realize that there are many like them who suffer and it is a very normal phenomenon which can be cured or improved with medication.
Erectile dysfunction is a condition when penis cannot get full and hard erection inorder to perform sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction can happen to any male adult irrespective of age or sexual experience. It can happen in the early twenties and even when a person is in his seventies however, men in their 40’s and 50’s are more prone to get the disease. The most common physical reasons are old age, high blood pressure, diabetes, drug abuse, low testosterone levels, cigarette smoking, Alcohol, spinal cord damage, cardiovascular diseases, strong medications used for treatment of other diseases and the psychological causes include depression and anxiety.
The severity of erectile dysfunction is not the same with everybody. There are some people who cannot get erection at all while there are some who could get erection but not strong and hard enough for penetration and there are other groups who get erection and can actually perform sexual intercourse but lose their erection very quick. These conditions bring them in a very vulnerable state as their partners might not understand and despise them and may even drag them for a divorce. Therefore, according to the level of severity of erectile dysfunction, it is grouped as mild erectile dysfunction, moderate erectile dysfunction and severe erectile dysfunction.
However, this kind of story has not been heard for a long time since the launch of viagra in the market. Men have become more confident and women are happier. Viagra can be taken 16 minutes to 4 hours before sexual intercourse as it becomes effective within 16 minutes and the effect lasts upto 4 hours. Viagra works by relaxing the vessels which carries the blood to the chamber of the penis and makes the penis hard and strong for sexual intercourse.
Viagra though effective and very helpful for thousands of male’s can also be fatal if the precautions are not heeded. It is strictly not to be taken together with nitrates as it can cause a very low blood pressure which can even result in death. You should not get panic if you experience flushing, headache, mild nasal congestion, diarrhea and rash or itching as they are common side-effects of viagra which go away in no time.
