This month is special because it’s the 10th anniversary of Viagra. Since its launch, the drug has changed the face of older adult male sexual dysfunction forever. We take a look at the various effects and side-effects of Viagra, as well as what to expect in the coming years.
How Does Viagra Work?
Viagra is a drug that works by increasing the blood flow to the penis and lowering the blood pressure temporarily, thus increasing the pleasure principle during sexual activity. It does this by increasing the level of nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide is an important chemical that acts as a messenger between cells. It allows for better communication and activation of certain hormones, including oxytocin and phenylephrine, in the brain. When these hormones are activated, it produces a wide array of physical and mental effects, including an increase in heart rate and blood circulation, reduced anxiety, and more intense orgasms.
What Are the Various Forms Of Viagra?
There are several different forms of Viagra, including oral, sublingual, and topical, each of which has its pros and cons. Oral Viagra does not provide any advantage over regular tablets. However, sublingual and topical versions are highly effective for men with particular conditions, such as penile curvature and poor nerve function. Furthermore, men who are unable to swallow larger tablets may find that a liquid or microdose version is more convenient for them to use.
What Is The Difference Between Oral And Intravenous (IV) Versions Of Viagra?
If you’re not familiar, oral sex is when you perform oral sex on someone else, usually the man on the receiving end. In contrast, intravenous (IV) sex is when you inject a drug or fluid into the penis or the vagina. Oral and IV versions of Viagra are essentially the same, but the former is often less efficient due to the manner in which it is administered. Men who are administered oral Viagra often complain that the medication does not provide the same positive effect as when injected. Furthermore, men who are administered oral Viagra often have trouble maintaining an erection due to the breakdown of the chemical compound in the digestive tract. This can make subsequent attempts at sexual activity somewhat challenging.
What Are The Risks Of Taking Viagra?
As we’ve established, Viagra is a medication that increases blood flow to the penis and lowers blood pressure, thus increasing the pleasure principle during sexual activity. This may also increase the risks of having a heart attack or a stroke. Furthermore, men who are already taking medications for heart health may be at greater risk of having another heart attack or a stroke. The exact risk of having such an event while taking Viagra is unknown, but doctors would generally advise against its use in people who’ve already had a cardiovascular incident or who’re at risk of having one. There’s also the risk of priapism, which is an abnormally high blood flow in the penis that leads to painful erections. Although doctors cannot precisely estimate the risk of priapism, it’s definitely there. It’s also one of the more common side effects of the drug. Finally, there’s also the fact that Viagra can cause a man to become overly sensitive to sexual stimulation, potentially leading to an addiction or dependency. This is yet another potential side effect that doctors want men to be aware of. If you or someone you know is showing signs of addiction or dependency, then it’s probably best to avoid taking this medication.
When Is The Best Time To Take Viagra?
The best time to take Viagra is about 30 minutes before you plan on having sex, although the effects of the medication last for several hours after you take it. The sooner you take it, the more effective it will be. You should also take this medication on an empty stomach, or at least a few hours before your meal. This will help ensure that your digestive system receives the medication intact, and thus increase its effectiveness. It’s also important to understand how your body processes the medication so that you can determine the right dose for you. Some men may require more while others may require less. As with any medication, experimentation is key.
How Long Does It Take For Viagra To Work?
It takes Viagra 10 to 15 minutes to take effect, during which time you’ll experience a pleasant sensation, like a head rush. This is usually followed by a deeper and more fulfilling feeling, which some men have described as being like an intense orgasm. The medication then starts to gradually decrease its effect around 30 to 45 minutes after you take it. During this time, your body begins to naturally relax, and you may notice that you’re beginning to feel sleepy or drowsy. This is why it’s best to take the medication an hour or two before you plan on having sex. This will give you time to enjoy the pleasurable effects of the medication without worrying about your ability to have an erection or to give birth. If you plan on being intimate with a partner, then it’s preferable to take the medication before you arrive at the sexual encounter. This will give you the advantage of being physically engaged while the medication is taking effect. Furthermore, it’ll allow you to gauge the effectiveness of the drug and whether or not you need to take a break before resuming activity.
What Are The Side Effects (Sicknesses) Of Viagra?
As with any medication, there are various side effects that men may experience after taking Viagra. These side effects may be mild or severe, temporary or permanent. Some men may experience headaches, dizziness, lethargy, flushing, nausea, and diarrhea. If you experience any of these side effects, then it’s probably best to discontinue use of the drug. However, as we’ve established, the long-term benefits of Viagra far outweigh the risks, so it’s generally a safe medication to use.
Are There Any Positive Side Effects (Benefits)?
The most common and somewhat expected side effect of Viagra is the enhancement of one’s sexual performance. This is usually experienced as increased sexual desire and, for some men, an improvement in their overall ability to have satisfying sexual intercourse. Other men have reported that they feel more comfortable expressing their affection and desire for their partners. In rare instances, men have reported that taking Viagra temporarily increased their heart and breathing rates, which caused them to feel more relaxed and alert during the time of day when they usually feel most tired and sluggish (i.e., in the afternoon).
It’s also important to understand that not all men will experience the same effects from taking Viagra. Some men will feel that it has little to no effect, while others may feel that it enhances their sexual performance greatly. Therefore, it’s important to try the medication out and see how you feel before you make any conclusions. Finally, as we’ve established, the benefits of Viagra significantly outweigh the risks, so it’s usually a safe medication to take. Nevertheless, as with any medication, it’s still important to be vigilant about symptoms of toxicity or overdose.
How Long Does It Take For The Effects Of Viagra To Disappear?
The effects of Viagra will gradually diminish the more you use it. This is because the drug will start to become ineffective after you’ve used it for a while. The effects then start to gradually disappear after about three months of continuous use. As with any medication, it’s important to understand that the longer you use it, the less effective it will be. This is why it’s preferable to start using this medication at the beginning of each month, and then take a break the rest of the month so that you can maximize its effects. If you overuse it, then you may experience some side effects that are irreversible. In this case, you’ll need to discontinue use of the medication. Nonetheless, the long-term benefits of Viagra far outweigh the risks, so it’s generally a safe medication to use.
The Future Of Viagra (And Erectile Dysfunction)
Over the past decade, Viagra and the field of sexual dysfunction has evolved immensely. Today, we have various medications and treatments that can help men with erectile dysfunction. Some men with erectile dysfunction may require surgery, while others may need to try a new medication. Furthermore, there are various other treatments and methods that can help increase the penetrative capability of men with erectile dysfunction, including vacuum pumps and prosthetic devices. The future of Viagra and erectile dysfunction looks very promising.
