HOW VIAGRA WORKS IN CASE OF ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION?

Viagra is a popular oral medication for men who have erectile dysfunction. Viagra is considered to be the safe & effective mode of treatment in case of ED.

 

WHAT IS THE MECHANISM OF NORMAL ERECTION?

When the nerves in the penis stimulated, the tissue in the penis named “CORPUS CAVERNOSA” gets relaxed & allow for an increased blood flow into the penis, causing an erection. In case of ED, the nerves in the penis do not send the proper signals to the brain to relax the corpus cavernosa; this in turn prevents the sufficient amount of blood into the penis & makes it difficult to achieve an erection. Viagra relaxes the corpus cavernosa when the signals of the nerves in the penis fail to do so; it increases the blood flow into the penis, leading to an erection.

Viagra starts working in about 30 minutes to one hour, once its effects starts; they can last for about 2-3 hours or more. It doesn’t simply begin working as soon as it’s taken; along with the use of Viagra, sexual pleasure is also necessary for a man to get an erection.

 

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS THAT CAN AFFECT THE ACTION OF VIAGRA?

There are certain factors that can affect how long the effects of Viagra last.

·      AGE- with the growing age, the metabolism of the body slows down; because of this Viagra actually tends to last longer for the older men than for younger men.

·      DOSAGE- the length of time during which the effects of Viagra will last depends on the milligrams prescribed as Viagra is available in different dosages.

·      OVERALL HEALTH- underlying health conditions like diabetes, hypertension or heart diseases can alter the effects of Viagra.

·      USE OF CERTAIN OTHER MEDICINES- medicines such as certain antibiotics can interact with the action of Viagra in an individual’s body & influence its effects on a man’s body.
