Viagra for Older Men: Myths and Facts About Erection Medication

[porums]

Thanks for reading,
I wonder how viagra helps the blood concentration on such a particular region if the taker does not try to control his mind on what he is doing. What if one has a spinal cord injury ?

Most of the doctors explain the drug is used only for old men who want to have an erection during sexual intercourse not for young men who want to gain better power. Why do they explain so always seems a myth to me [I am not a doctor] ?

Viagra help by relaxing the blood vessel in the penis which increases the blood flow in that area and therefore it help resolves the dysfunction. It is usually for older men because blood vessel tend to harden (i.e. poor blood flow) during the aging process. Therefore young men do not benefit from Viagra unless they have a certain condition that lead to a dysfunction. It does not increase "power".

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this topic. I can provide some information on the use of Viagra in older men and address some of the myths surrounding its use.

Firstly, Viagra works by increasing blood flow to the penis, which helps to achieve and maintain an erection. It does not directly affect the mind or require any conscious effort from the individual. Therefore, whether or not the person is trying to control their mind during sexual activity, Viagra can still be effective in improving blood flow to the penis.

In terms of spinal cord injury, Viagra may still be effective in improving erectile function. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before taking any medication, as they can provide personalized advice based on the individual's specific medical condition.

Regarding the myth that Viagra is only for older men, this is not entirely true. While Viagra was originally developed for older men with erectile dysfunction, it can also be prescribed for younger men who may have difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. It is important to note that Viagra is a prescription medication and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

In conclusion, Viagra can be a helpful medication for older men experiencing erectile dysfunction, as well as for younger men who may need assistance with achieving and maintaining an erection. However, it is important to consult with a doctor and follow their instructions for safe and effective use.
