It’s been a long time since FDA approved Viagra for women, but it still remains the world’s #1 selling drug for erectile dysfunction. While there are definitely advantages to using the drug, it’s not as indestructible as you might think. A recently published study from the United Kingdom Millennium Cohort found that men who used Viagra at least once a week increased their penis size by 2.8% over a six-year period. This size increase was observed even among men who reported using the drug for only one night. The results were similar when using sildenafil (Viagra’s active ingredient). And it appears the longer men use the drug, the longer the increase lasts.
There are plenty of similar studies out there, but it’s important to consider the possible disadvantages before rushing to use Viagra. The most apparent drawback is that the drug does nothing for women, so those who want effective ED treatment have no option other than to keep using it. Another concern is that men who use the drug regularly may become desensitized to its effects. When this happens, they could end up with an enlarged penis even when they don’t take the pill. But perhaps the most serious side effect is that long-term use of Viagra may lead to an increase in penile curvature. This is a very serious condition called Peyronie’s disease and it’s actually considered a form of cancer. Men who develop this condition usually end up with heart disease and/or organ failure. Hence, the risk of using Viagra is definitely there.
Fortunately, there are alternatives for men who want effective ED treatment. The first step is to try and reduce your intake of animal products. This will help prevent an enlarged penis as the Buhner study found that men who followed a plant-based diet saw a significantly smaller increase in size upon using Viagra. Another potential solution is to try and increase the blood flow to your penis, which can be achieved by doing some workout or by having sex. Also, make sure you get the right kind of exercise. While running is great for your health in general, it can potentially damage your penis if done improperly. Hence, it’s important to find a form of exercise that does not lead to increased penile size. Stretching is another option, as long as you do it properly. Many men who use Viagra have also reported that trying acupuncture or taking supplements like ginseng or vitamin E can help reduce its effect. There’s also talk of using cannabis to treat ED, though more studies are needed before this can confirmed.
Overall, men who use Viagra regularly should not be too surprised by how their penis enlarges over time. While there are several advantages to using the drug, there are also some serious risks associated with long-term use. Hence, it’s important to weigh these risks against the benefits before using this drug. What are your thoughts on using Viagra regularly?
