erectile dysfunction


As a debilitating experience, Erectile Dysfunction (commonly known as Impotence) can be quite detrimental to a relationship especially if it is long term. As the medical definition goes, it is the inability of men to achieve a proper erection required for a sexual intercourse.  If a man is unable to get or maintain an erection for a sexual intercourse, he will undoubtedly feel ashamed and might even try to hide the fact from his partner. In fact, he might not even notice that his condition is affecting not only him but also his significant other.

This condition might occur for a variety of reasons associated with the person’s physical as well as psychological health. Physical conditions might include high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure levels, diabetes, heart disease or old age. Psychological aspects might include stress, anxiety, depression, lack of interest and other similar factors. 

The solution could be as simple as an oral prescription drug which has the ability to treat this disorder with ease. It is also a safe way to treat erectile dysfunction and is mostly recommended by doctors if you are experiencing this condition for the first time. One such medication trusted by most doctors is Viagra.

Let us find out what Viagra does so as to get rid of this condition.

Introduction to Viagra:

Viagra, which is the brand name for Sildenafil, is a PDE5 inhibitor that treats erectile dysfunction in men. It was originally developed to treat chest pain (angina) and hypertension. Later, it was found out that it came in quite beneficial for those who were finding it hard to achieve an erection. The main competitors of Viagra are Cialis and Levitra.
The Viagra pills are generally blue in color and diamond shaped.

Working Mechanism:

Viagra works only when there is a sexual stimulation. Nitric oxide is produced in the body when there is a sexual stimulation and the blood flows freely to the corpus cavernosum, the erectile tissue in the penis. Men with erectile dysfunction have an enzyme called PDE5 (phosphodiesterase type 5) that suppresses the release of yet another important element called cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate). This causes the muscle to contract and the blood flow to the penile nerve is obstructed.
Viagra, being a PDE5 inhibitor, stops PDE5 from being produced and hence, stops the degradation of cGMP. The blood freely flows to the corpus cavernosum and there occurs an erection.
