There have an increasing number of cases of erectile
dysfunction in the world today. Most of the experts attribute this to the
increasing workload and stress in the world. Others attribute it to ailments
that affect the physiology of the person in certain ways, sometimes even
affecting the sexual health of the person. Before we go into how Viagra
helps the people with erectile dysfunction, let us see how the ailment affects
the people.
What is erectile dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the inability of the person to gain
or maintain an erection firm enough for intercourse. Erections occur when the
mind and body are sexually stimulated and as a result the blood vessels in the
chambers of the male genitals fill up with the blood that is already in the vicinity
of the chambers. In erectile dysfunction, no blood in-flow occurs. As a result
the blood vessel and the muscle of the organ shrink, which results in the
person being unable for intercourse. This causes a lot of negative feelings in
the person’s mind. Feelings like guilt, depression, embarrassment, etc all
cumulate to hamper the confidence of the person, to the extent that the person
might be nervous that such an incident will occur again.
Science has gifted us with many medications and devices that
help in the process of countering the effects of erectile dysfunction. People,
however, mostly prefer to use the oral medication road since it is simpler to
use with quick, effective results.
Viagra is one such popular ED medication.
Viagra is an erectile dysfunction pill. Its active
ingredient is Sildenafil, a PDE5 inhibitor. Viagra is in fact, the world’s
first oral ED pill to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration in USA in
the year 1998. Ever since the medication has helped countless lives and has helped
in repairing the relationships of many couples. Let us look into the working of
the medication.
Working of Viagra ED pill
Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor drug. The active compound in the
med, Sildenafil inhibits the effect of Phosphodiesterase Type-5 of the body.
This action ultimately leads to the relaxation of the muscles in the chambers
of the male genitals. This muscle relaxation also makes the blood vessels in
the chambers to relax and widen their openings. This allows the blood in the
vicinity to enter the vessels thus causing an erection. This erection thus
gained is firm enough for intercourse.
