“Viagra” does not always make the penis rise – One meal can take away the effects – 2024-02-26 11:23:39

Sildenafil, also known as Viagra, is not suitable for everyone. Many people do not use the medicine, even though there is a prescription.

There is no exact information about stopping the use of erectile dysfunction medicine, because the patient is rarely asked anywhere whether the patient is using the prescribed erectile dysfunction medicine or not.

– It seems that it is quite common that even after receiving a prescription for an erectile dysfunction drug, the drug is left unused or its use is stopped, says a doctor specializing in urology Misael Ponkkonen.

One of the reasons for not using an erection medication may be that the prescription for an erection medication is the first prescription that the patient receives.

– A man can feel sick if he starts using an erection medicine, says Ponkkonen.

Dinner surprise

The erection medicine can also be left out because the patient has carefully studied the information found inside the medicine package. The description is long and lists many possible side effects.

– You can be scared of them, Ponkkonen says.

One of the reasons for rejecting an erection medicine may be that the medicine has been tried once or twice, but its effectiveness is not considered sufficient.

The patient may think that the drug does not work for him at all, even though the reason for the weak effect of the drug may be very practical.

While it may sound nice to enjoy an intimate moment with your partner before a perfect, high-fat dinner, this is a risk when it comes to how the ED works.

Fatty food can slow down the absorption of sildenafil significantly, in which case its effect may be less than expected.

A penis is not a machine

According to Ponkkonen, one of the reasons for stopping the use of an erection medicine can be the result of a man thinking that he is like a machine when it comes to sex.

You may have the idea that after taking the pill “it will happen” all by itself. A man may think that the pill will fix the machine, in this case, the functioning of the penis, in a straightforward manner.

If this does not happen, it is thought that the pill did not make the penis work and that the use of the medicine is pointless.

However, sex is not just about the penis. The function of the penis is strongly connected to a man’s body and mind. A pill alone is not enough.

– Erection drugs in tablet form do not cause a spontaneous erection. Desire and excitement must also be in order.

– The command center of the penis is in the brain, Ponkkonen reminds.

“Feeling good”

According to Ponkkonen, oral erectile dysfunction drugs work well for about 60-70 percent of those who use them.

The most significant obstacle to the use of sildenafil is that the patient uses nitros. The use of some other medicines can also be an obstacle to the use of sildenafil.

Sildenafil is the most commonly known, most commonly used and quite well tolerated drug. However, it also has side effects, like all medicines.

– In some patients, sildenafil causes nasal congestion, dizziness, lightheadedness and headaches, Ponkkonen says.

Sometimes, simply changing the dosage of the drug can help with the side effects experienced.

More options

If sildefil does not seem suitable for the patient, tadalafil can be tried.

Sildenafil is only used before intercourse, but tadalafil can be used continuously. A tadalafil tablet is taken once a day, every day. The use of Tadalafil gives sex the possibility of spontaneity.

– Many men suffering from erectile dysfunction also have difficulty urinating. Tadalafil can also bring relief to these ailments, says Ponkkonen.

Tadalafil is a well-tolerated drug, but for some the drug causes muscle and back pain or unpleasant upper abdominal sensations.

Erectile dysfunction is also treated with injectable drugs, penis rings, penis pumps and erectile prostheses, among other things.

– Usually, the erection is improved in one way or another, although not always great. A confidential patient-doctor relationship is the cornerstone of treatment, so that erectile dysfunction is treated comprehensively and safely, Ponkkonen states.
