Last year, Mr. Shen found that he had erectile dysfunction, so he has been actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment, and has been taking sildenafil, but fortunately, after taking the drug, his erectile dysfunction has indeed improved significantly.
However, it takes a while to confirm its effect, which makes Mr. Shen feel a little troublesome, and he still has some worries about this drug, not sure if it can be as the doctor said.
Some time ago, he heard that a topical over-the-counter drug was listed in the UK, and it was said that it could work in about 5 minutes. Mr. Shen was curious about the drug and wanted to know how safe it was.
1. What is the effect of "Viagra" for external use, and are the side effects big or small?
Nowadays, many men have a certain degree of erectile dysfunction due to the high pressure of life and poor Xi habits.
Like Mr. Shen, it is wiser to seek help from a doctor and start active treatment, but similarly, there will be some men who avoid medical treatment and prefer to buy their own "health-friendly" medicines, hoping that they can play a role.
Such an approach is obviously risky and has little benefit in the treatment of the disease.
At present, most doctors use oral inhibitors such as sildenafil when treating male erectile dysfunction, and patients generally take it within one to two hours before the start of sexual life according to their own conditions. Because of this drug, it takes about another hour to take it to have an effect, and it takes longer to get the most out of the drug.
This type of drug usually relaxes the smooth muscles of the penis by inhibiting the activity of degrading phosphate esters, so that the blood flow from the corpora cavernosa to the arteries can be increased, so as to maintain the erection state of men.
However, this topical gel marketed in the United Kingdom contains a relatively large amount of nitroglycerin, and through more advanced drug delivery technology, it is accelerated to achieve rapid onset of action. So what about the specific effect?
In fact, before the drug was marketed, R&D institutions also conducted efficacy analysis and clinical trials on it. They conducted clinical trials on nearly 400 randomly assigned and intentionally screened patients and found that the biggest advantage of this drug is that it works quickly:
• Nearly half of the 400 patients started getting an erection within 5 minutes of applying the drug, and 70% of patients had an erection within 10 minutes of applying the drug.
Judging from such clinical data, this drug is still relatively trustworthy. So, how secure is it, exactly?
We all know that oral drugs based on sildenafil have certain side effects, because they have the effect of expanding blood flow, and many patients may even experience dizziness and increased blood pressure after taking it.
However, this drug belongs to the topical gel type of topical drugs, and the probability of side effects has been reduced, and during the clinical study, the proportion of negative effects of this topical gel is relatively low, and there are no adverse reactions such as inflammation and irritation in the penile area of men.
At the same time, because the absorption is particularly rapid, there is almost no transmission when having sex with a woman. This means that although the drug is a topical drug with a short onset of action, it still does not cause damage to women's health, and the safety is not low.
At present, this drug has been marketed in the United Kingdom, and has not yet been marketed in China, with "unspeakable" men, the best way is to seek medical attention as soon as possible, and use the drug with the help of a doctor, after all, the abuse of so-called health care products, not only can not have a therapeutic effect, but also may cause a certain negative impact.
Second, "Viagra" and "abuse" are risky, and you must know these consequences!
At present, the common drugs for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction in mainland China are mainly sildenafil, which has a common name in China, called "Viagra".
These drugs are prescription drugs and must be prescribed by a doctor before they can be purchased, although health supplements with similar effects may also be available in some pharmacies. This has also led to a lot of men with erectile dysfunction blindly buying or even abusing it when there is no treatment. So, what are the dangers of abusing "Viagra"?
1. May damage male reproductive ability
British medical researchers once published a study in the journal Fertility and Infertility, and they verified it through two sets of experiments. In the first set of experiments, they put men's semen into a lower concentration of "Viagra" solution, and found that "Viagra" has the effect of enhancing sperm motility, but it can damage sperm cericulin.
Once the cemerulin is damaged, the sperm loses the ability to break down the outer membrane of the egg cell, unable to enter the egg and form a fertilized egg, in the sense that this may indeed lead to a decrease in the male reproductive capacity.
In the second group of animal experiments, the researchers also found that after taking Viagra, the sperm of the sperm can reduce the fertilization ability of the egg cell by nearly 40%, but it will not cause any effect on the fertilized egg.
These two sets of experiments have largely proven that abuse of "Viagra" may indeed lead to a decline in male fertility.
We have to understand that the treatment of erectile dysfunction requires the guidance of a professional doctor, and if you miss the best time for treatment, or even reduce your fertility due to abuse, it will be the real gain that outweighs the loss.
2. Or cause severe penile inflammation
Many men actually have insufficient understanding of "Viagra", and some people do not know that the real "Viagra" is actually a therapeutic drug, rather than a drug that can improve sexual performance and properties. If normal men use "Viagra" as a drug to increase sexual interest, improper use is likely to cause a male penis erection for a long time, which can cause severe penitis.
The long-term use of "Viagra" by normal men may also lead to a certain degree of psychological drug dependence, resulting in a decrease in the secretion of enzymes in the body that control the weakness of the penis, resulting in permanent erectile dysfunction, so it must be diagnosed by a clinician and determined to be a man with erectile dysfunction before it is suitable to take "Viagra" for treatment.
3. Men want to be healthier, and food may be able to help!
Most people will associate male ability with male dignity, whether it is a normal and healthy man, or a man with certain erectile dysfunction, they want to have longer sexual performance, and these are one of the main reasons for the abuse of "Viagra".
For men, instead of taking "tonics" with unknown effects, it is better to eat some of the following foods on a regular basis:
1. Tomatoes
There are many research data to prove that the lycopene contained in tomatoes has a good effect on preventing and reducing prostate diseases in men, it can remove cell metabolites, enhance the body's antioxidant capacity, and can also promote the reduction of prostate cancer cells, inhibiting the proliferation and metastasis of tumor cells.
At the same time, the lycopene contained in tomatoes can also improve sperm concentration and enhance sperm motility, although it is not an "aphrodisiac" effect in the traditional sense, but this beneficial ingredient can indeed improve male fertility to a certain extent and prevent male prostate disease.
2. 韭菜
Many people don't know that leeks are rich in vitamin C, carotene, and potassium, magnesium, iron and other trace elements.
In modern medicine, it is believed that leeks do have certain medicinal value, and the beneficial ingredients in them can reduce or even relieve constipation, and have a certain degree of relief effect on diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, and can be eaten appropriately at ordinary times.
Doctor's conclusion
Most men may occasionally suffer from erectile dysfunction in their daily life due to excessive stress or lack of sleep, but this does not mean that the man must have erectile dysfunction, so in the face of occasional situations, men do not need to be too panicked, and can consult a doctor in time.
