With the changing lifestyle in today’s society, the ratio of people suffering from some or the other health problems has increased to a great extent. Sexual problems are also on the rise. These sexual problems affect people to an extent that they can have low self-esteem and reduced confidence. These problems also make people lose interest in their sex life, leading to relationship problems and at times even situations such as divorce. Erectile dysfunction or impotence is one such sexual problem that affects men.
It is a condition in which a man faces difficulties in achieving or maintaining erections long enough to have a satisfactory sexual intercourse. Impotence is usually a temporary problem, but many a times men suffer from this problem for a prolonged period of time. You can suffer from this condition because of physical or psychological factors. Physical factors include obesity, atherosclerosis, diabetes, injuries to your spinal cord or nervous system, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Psychological factors that cause impotence include stress, guilt, anxiety, depression, conflicts with your partner and sexual boredom.
One of the best impotence treatments that are available on the market is Viagra. This drug consists of sildenafil as its active ingredient, which helps in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It works by relaxing the muscles of corpora cavernosa in turn increasing the blood flow in your penis. When the blood flow increases in your penis, it expands and you have erections. This impotence treatment has helped millions of men in treating their erectile problems. Viagra sildenafil is available in the dosage strengths of 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg, of which 50 mg is usually preferred by doctors. The dosage is later increased if you do not feel any difference in your condition.
