The Hidden Risks Behind Erectile Dysfunction Drugs
For years, Viagra and Cialis has been the most well-known quick fix for men (ages 20-70+) having issues maintaining an erection or experiencing difficulty in the bedroom. However, before you become too eager to pop the little blue magic pill, it is important to get more educated and consider a few things such as the potential risks involved and understand the root causes first.
Today we will be discussing all of that today, as well as a better and safer alternative solution to help you gain back the confidence from your better years.
What our patients are saying about Healthy-Aging Medical Centers!
Erectile dysfunction pills
Prescribed drugs such as Viagra and Cialis can usually provide a fast but temporary solution for erectile dysfunction (ED), but how does it really work? Pills such as these help increase the nitric oxide in your blood which allows the blood vessels in your penis to widen and increase blood flow. This allows you to create and maintain erections for longer periods of time. The effects of the drug will fade once the drug has been cleansed from your system. Although in theory this works perfectly, it is important not to ignore the alarming side effects associated with these short-term fixes.
The hidden risks behind erectile dysfunction drugs
When it comes to treating ED, Viagra has been hands down the most popular pharmaceutical on the market. Typically, the pill is activated within half an hour of consumption and can have lasting effects up to 4 hours.
Although Viagra allows for easier erections, there are some major short-term and/or long-term side effects you should be warned of before taking including:
- Tingling/numbness in hands, arms, feet, or legs
- Dizziness
- Headache
- Long-lasting erection (Priapism)
- Loss of vision
- Loss of hearing
- Back/Muscle pain
- Trouble sleeping
- Flushes
Because the side effects of pills such as Viagra and Cialis can affect your quality of life, we at Healthy-Aging Medical Centers highly recommend consulting with your doctor before taking erectile dysfunction drugs.
