Treatment of erectile dysfunction with Viagra

A pharmacological agent with a tonic effect is prescribed to persons with pathologies of a sexual nature. The drug helps to restore male consistency and eliminate infertility.

The importance of diagnosing erectile dysfunction

The doctor gives the patient recommendations to take Viagra only after systemic diagnostics. Recognizing the nature and form of the sexual disorder is extremely important for finding the optimal treatment tactics. The urologist should identify the features of the pathogenesis and etymology of the disease of the genitourinary system, based on the patient's life and illness history, as well as the results of an objective laboratory and instrumental examination.

An important role in the diagnosis of sexual pathology is played by the correct collection of anamnesis. During a conversation with a patient with impotence, a specialist should conduct a detailed survey, clarifying the nature and duration of painful manifestations, the presence of bad habits and negative genetic factors. In this case, the physician takes into account the results of the tests performed, recording any unwanted changes in the genitourinary and endocrine systems, the state of the central nervous system and the patient's psyche.

Contraindications for the use of Viagra

A pharmacological preparation for increasing the strength of an erection cannot be used to help minors and persons with an acute allergic reaction to any components of the drug. A product with a pronounced stimulating effect is intended for sexually mature men who do not suffer from:

• severe cardiovascular pathologies (diffuse myocardial disease, acute heart failure or Loeffler's disease);
• visual diseases that cause irreversible degenerative processes in the retina (tapetoretinal dystrophy);
• dysfunction of the liver and kidneys;
• diseases that increase the risk of priapism (leukemia, sickle cell anemia or multiple myeloma);
• peptic ulcer of the digestive organs in the acute form of the course;
• structural changes in the reproductive system caused by fibrosis, curvature or Peyronie's disease.

A medication to increase male strength and endurance is not recommended for treatment with nitric oxide donors and nitrate-containing agents.

Indications for tonic use

The following undesirable signs indicate the onset of erectile dysfunction and the need for drug stimulation:

• complete lack of sexual arousal. The patient does not experience an intentional and spontaneous erection;
• loss of adequate arousal while maintaining an unintentional erection that occurs in the morning and at night. Arousal is most clearly manifested at the time of sleep, when the brain centers cease to tightly control the activity of the genitals;
• weakening of the strength of erection. At the moment of sexual arousal, a man notes insufficient stiffness of the penis, slow or incomplete enlargement of the body of the penis;
• premature ejaculation. The release of seminal material occurs during the first minute of intercourse or before the onset of intimacy. Premature ejaculation, causing insufficient duration of intercourse, often occurs with disorders of the glans penis. In this case, the peripheral receptors of the afferent pathways are affected, which entails a pathological change in the sensitivity of the genitals.

Action of the drug

Viagra provides a quick recovery of sexual ability without harm to the male body. The systematic intake of the medication cannot cause intoxication, changes in the composition of the blood, or a decrease in fertility. The stimulating effect of the medication lasts for 4 hours after the pills are absorbed. To obtain the maximum tonic effect, the pill is drunk 50-60 minutes before sexual intercourse. As a result of a limited amount of sildenafil entering the male body, the sex glands begin to secrete an increased amount of nitric oxide. Under the action of a natural mediator, the vessels dilate, and the cavities are filled with arterial blood. The activation of blood flow in the pelvic area leads to an increase in the size and level of tension of the penis. The penis becomes firm enough to penetrate the vagina. After the development of a stable erection, a man gets the opportunity to have a full sexual intercourse without the risk of early ejaculation.

How to take Viagra correctly

When treating with sildenafil, it is important to strictly adhere to the dosages recommended by your doctor. A man should not drink more than 100 mg of the drug per day. The elderly usually take up to 25 mg of sildenafil per day.
