Misinterpreted Viagra
The media and public exploded when a new kind of treatment came up on the market with some florid promises to treat a common but so sensitive problem known as erectile dysfunction or impotence. The product we are referring to is called Sildenafil citrate or more renowned Viagra.
We will first start with a brief description on how an erection occurs and the way in which Viagra works. First an erection is generated by the sexual stimuli received by the central nervous system. The brain based on the information gathered from those stimuli releases a signal trough out the body to the prostate gland. The prostate gland connects with the penis through nerves called cavernous nerves. Those nerves are situated in the corpora cavernosum, an erectile tissue inside the penis, formed of blood vessels called cavernous sinuses. Based on the brain signals a blood flow is guided to the penis overflowing the blood vessels. The blood moderate the penis shape, it is then kept inside the penis during erection time and then released after the period finishes. So an erection is nothing more then a blood flow that enters and leaves the penis. Erectile dysfunction appears whenever the blood can’t reach to the penis. This may happen as a consequence to a series of health problems. A human being is considered healthy when its mind, soul and body are in a good condition. But through life time the general health of a person may be affected by a series of causes emotional, psychological and physical. Erectile dysfunction has physical causes like diabetes, clogged veins, arteries, heart, kidney or liver diseases, physical injuries or different medication used to treat other problems. Those problems also generate a series of psychological issues that affect the erectile system like stress, anxiety, depression. At an emotional level a person could feel a constant inhibited sexual desire, fear of sexual intercourse and together with relationship or social problems it could also generate erectile disorders.
Viagra was created to inhibit a specific type of enzyme which is considered to block the erectile function. By inhibiting this enzyme it partially improves the erection increasing the chemical levels in the metabolism and enabling blood to flow into the penis. It does not cure erectile dysfunction it only gives you the possibility to get an erection for a limited period of time using it only once a day. An overdose use generates serious blood pressure drops. The main problem in being a chemical product is that it comes with a lot of side effects, indications and counter-indications. Much of those side effects where unknown till recent researches were made based on the alarming reports. The company that created it presented a list of harmless side effects like headaches or flushing face. Trough time because of its publicity and blockbusting promotion more and more people began to use it as a recreational pill unaware of its risks. Then cases of blurred to total loss of vision or hearing appeared, numerous heart attacks and heart problems were registered, vomiting and even prolonged painful erections that lasted for hours and needed immediate intervention. It was proven harmful for those suffering from various heart diseases and those that use alpha-blockers for their heart or prostate problems, so it has a limited action area.
It is also inefficient because you have to plan your sexual intercourse with 30 minutes to one hour before taking the pill, so by this you cannot create any romantic moments, intimacy or desire because the effect will waste. Viagra does not influence pleasure, desire or attraction it does not satisfy your partner. And as it is known great expectations don’t come cheap, usually the starting price of a prescript pill is around $15 making it the most expensive impotence pill on the market. Trough its 10 years history it made big profits and also created a so called blue pill culture. It refers to the fact that numerous men used it with any occasion to get those ‘super natural’ sexual powers. In order to do so young men took it together with alcohol or other recreational drugs in order to experience unforgettable sensations. The only unforgettable sensation you can get from combining Viagra is that of fainting, heart attack, or severe heart problems. Persons experiencing normal erectile disorders from time to time get one pill and then used it more often as an assurance or as way to prevent further erectile losses. This could also be the source of some bad side effects. To receive this medication you will need a prescription liberated after tests and diagnosis. A doctor then may consider based on the results if or if not a patient is able to use this drug in order to supplement his erectile function. On the internet there are many sites selling all kinds of Viagra pills and other inhibitors like Cialis or Levitra that don’t need a prescription. Through out the publicity and descriptions you will be led out to believe that Viagra will cure almost any sexual problem. Another thing is that those products presented on the internet are unpatented pills taken on your own risk based only on some brief descriptions. Many online pharmacies made fortunes using the renowned brand name and also the name of its competitors. The statistics show that less then 30% of the men who used Viagra turned back to buy some more.
In conclusion Viagra proved to be efficient for some and useless or harmful for others but one thing is certain: that its reputation excelled its efficiency.
To avoid the dangerous side effects and potential harm from using Viagra many men sought out safe natural viagra alternatives. To learn more and find out about the best of the natural erection treatments, look here.
