In this case, after 6 months, you can discuss with your doctor the possibility of using Levitra, Cialis or Viagra. It is necessary to understand that the doctor can strongly advise against taking such pills. This is due to the fact that drug treatment after a stroke lasts a long time.
Nearly all of the major drugs aimed at treating stroke and preventing relapse are incompatible with type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors. The main task of the patient is to first restore general performance, and then use the methods of "local" rehabilitation.
Supplements
With herbal remedies and dietary supplements, the situation is almost the same as with pharmacy pathogens. Natural remedies, medicinal herbs tend to suppress or, on the contrary, enhance the effect of artificial components.
The result can be unpredictable, which is why even natural remedies cannot be uncontrollably combined with artificially synthesized drugs, especially those that have a strong effect on the body.

When can I start having sex?
For the first six months, sex remains strictly prohibited, regardless of the degree of the disease. During this period, under strict medical supervision, the consequences of cerebral hemorrhage are eliminated.
In the future, only a doctor can answer this burning question. Some men need years to rehabilitate, others after 6 months are mentally ready for an intimate relationship and note that the first erection after a stroke occurs.
If the state of health of a man does not inspire concern and he is physically capable of making love, then the doctor may approve the intention. Moreover, it is believed that intimacy is useful in such cases for the following reasons:
- The psychological state becomes positive, family life returns to the usual pattern;
- Increases blood supply to all organs, which strengthens the heart muscle and blood vessels in general;
- Provides the muscles with the necessary load;
- Eliminates excess physical and mental stress;
- Reduces the risk of blood clots.
However, intimate life after a stroke has its own characteristics. Contact still exerts a load on the heart and blood vessels, so the regularity of intimacy should be combined with the following factors:
- No rush, slow foreplay;
- Use of positions that minimize stress on the body;
- Putting a pillow under the paralyzed part of the body.
Also, it is important to know that in some cases a complete restriction is imposed on intimate life. This happens if:
- The area of the brain that regulates sexual function has been extensively affected;
- Dangerous vascular changes have been recorded that can provoke a second stroke.
In general, sex after such a disease is possible: it is only important to carefully follow the doctor's recommendations, take your time and let the recovery take its course.
