What Is Viagra?
Viagra is the brand name of a popular drug that treats impotence or erectile dysfunction (E.D.). If you’re not familiar, impotence is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection that is sufficient for sexual activity. Erectile dysfunction is the inability to develop or maintain an erection that is satisfactory for sexual activity. Both impotence and erectile dysfunction can be a cause for concern, especially if they’re chronic or there’s another medical condition that’s associated with them. They aren’t just about getting and maintaining an erection, but can also be a sign of a more serious medical condition.
Where Does Viagra Come From?
Since Viagra was first approved for sale in the United States in June of 2002, it’s been available in most major drugstores. It is a popular choice for men who are experiencing erectile dysfunction and are looking to treat it naturally as a non-prescription option. Before Viagra, there were already several popular ED medications on the market, including Levitra and Cialis. These are all prescription drugs and require a medical doctor’s advice and prescription to buy.
What Types Of Women Can Take Viagra?
Although Viagra was originally approved for use in men exclusively, it is now available in a form that is appropriate for use by women. This is a non-prescription drug and women can purchase it without a prescription. It can be a wise choice for women who are experiencing difficulties during intercourse due to vulvar or vaginal dryness. Many men’s health professionals believe that the medication may also be helpful for women who are experiencing perimenopausal (adj. pre-menopausal) vaginal dryness due to declining estrogen levels. This medication is also popular among women who are experiencing headaches and other types of pain that interfere with their daily enjoyment of life. It’s also a good choice for those who want to avoid pregnancy or who are already pregnant and looking for alternative ways to treat their E.D. In addition to alleviating sexual dysfunction, many people have noticed that Viagra treats or prevents headaches, which are often associated with menopause. Some people have also noted that the medication is helpful for those who are experiencing heart disease, as it helps dilate (open up) blood vessels and gives more blood flow throughout the body. This can have several positive effects, especially on those who are already suffering from heart disease. A medication that treats both E.D. and headaches is a great choice for those who want to enjoy life to the fullest while also treating their bodies naturally and avoiding potential dangerous side effects.
How Does Viagra Work?
The exact way that Viagra works is still somewhat of a mystery. Some people believe that it affects the central nervous system and enhances blood flow to the penis. Others think that it promotes blood clotting, allowing for much-needed erections. Scientists are still working to figure out how this particular medication helps to improve erectile dysfunction in men. It’s been around for a few years now and has been prescribed to more than ten million men worldwide. It has been clinically proven to be safe and effective for those who are using it for E.D. and has even been known to be helpful for those with heart disease.
Since this drug was originally conceived as a solution for men’s sexual problems, it is not completely unknown for women to try it as well, especially if they’re experiencing similar symptoms. It is not an exact solution for women, as it was originally designed to be taken by men. Still, many women have discovered that it is an effective means of treating their own sexual dysfunction. For those who are looking to treat E.D. naturally, without the use of medication, there are several options available to them including herbal remedies, vitamins, and exercise. Hopefully, with more research and pharmaceutical companies continuing to develop safe and effective solutions for sexual problems, men will soon be able to enjoy healthy and natural erections that will allow them to perform and satisfy their sexual desires as often as possible.
