In my practice, I have noticed that some men experience delayed ejaculation after taking Viagra. Do you experience this as well?
It’s no secret that Viagra increases blood flow to the penis, resulting in a flacid or soft erection. But did you know that this medication can also cause ejaculation to be slightly delayed for several hours?
So while you may experience an increase in interest in having sex, it may not be as instantaneous as you first thought. Keep reading to learn more.
Common Questions About Viagra And Ejaculation
Has anyone ever told you that you have an abnormal amount of urine during sex? You might experience this if you take Viagra. Sometimes this condition is referred to as “chemical retention.” It can be a bit of a surprise if you’re not used to having a lot of liquid coming out of you while having sex. While in the situation, you may feel embarrassed and wonder if your partner is embarrassed by the amount of liquid coming out. Remember, it’s not your fault! Your physician gave you the prescription to take and you have a responsibility to follow it.
Another question someone might ask you is whether or not Viagra affects your ability to have sex with women. Although there have been no reported cases of this, it’s still something to think about. Since there’s already been contact with your partner’s privates, it’s possible that this medication could affect your ability to have vaginal intercourse correctly. This is why you need to be careful around women you haven’t been with before and that you know aren’t into group sex.
How Is Viagra Usually Delivered?
The most common way that Viagra is delivered is via oral route, taken in conjunction with food. While there is no specific recommended timing for when you take this medication, many physicians will advise patients to take it around 15 minutes before a meal. Why? When you combine the effects of food and medication together, it helps prevent the medication from being metabolized by the body in an abnormal manner. This, in turn, could potentially cause negative side effects.
What Are The Main Side Effects Of Viagra?
As mentioned, Viagra can cause a softening of the erection, which in some cases can be problematic. While this drug has been shown to be quite effective in treating erectile dysfunction, it is not without its side effects. The most common side effects of Viagra are:
- Nausea
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Backache
- Abdominal pain
- Dry mouth
- Loss of appetite
These are definitely not trivial side effects, especially when you consider that many of my patients are already on prescriptions for other medications that they take for other conditions. So it’s not unusual for men to experience multiple drug interactions. In some cases, this can be extremely dangerous. Taking Viagra along with other medications can result in dramatically increased side effects. If you experience any of these side effects, stop taking the medication and seek medical help.
Is It Possible To Reverse The Effects Of Viagra?
Yes, it is possible to reverse the effects of Viagra. Simply discontinue the use of this medication and you will return to your previous state. The good news is that the effects usually wear off within a few hours to a day or two. In some cases, it might take a little longer for the body to rid itself of this drug. But given how short-lived these side effects usually are, it’s definitely not something to worry about. Simply discontinue the use of Viagra and you will be back to your normal self in no time. This is true even if you have experienced delayed ejaculation or any other side effects from this medication.
Keep in mind that while Viagra can be quite effective in treating erectile dysfunction, there are other options available that might prove to be more suitable for you. Regardless, the decision is always yours and you should always feel free to ask for help if you’re not sure what to do.
In closing, be sure to ask your physician about the possible side effects of Viagra when you’re considering taking this medication. As long as you’re not experiencing any acute problems, most likely the side effects will be minimal. But still, it’s always good to be aware of all the risks that can be associated with any medication, especially when you’re already taking multiple medications for other conditions. So while Viagra can be a powerful medication for those who need it, always be careful when taking this drug, especially if you’re already taking other medications for other conditions.
