"Doctor, you must save my husband's life!"
It turned out that Brother Zhang and his wife got together less and left more, and they finally got together at the end of the year, and both parties were very excited. That night, in order to exercise better and longer, Brother Zhang, who had no problem with his function, still took two small pills.
The effect is very fast, and the banana turns into a steel gun. But it may be that he hasn't gotten used to it yet, and he was too simple and direct when changing his movements, only hearing a "click" sound, and then bursts of sharp pain surged into Brother Zhang's mind.
Looking at the swollen lower body, the doctor diagnosed it as a "penile fracture" after some testing. It's not just a story, it's an accident. We have all heard of "Viagra" in our daily life. But do you really understand it?
1. Swedish study: Is it credible to take Viagra to reduce heart attacks and live longer?
Erectile dysfunction may be the deepest pain in men's hearts. Data shows that 40% of men over the age of 70 suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED). With the advancement of medical treatment, erectile dysfunction is not incurable, Viagra and alprostadil are effective drugs that increase blood perfusion in the cavernous body and improve erectile function.
However, as a star product, Viagra is a star product, and many people are worried that it will cause cardiovascular risks and cause adverse consequences after taking it. The following study may be able to dispel your doubts.
Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden have published a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). Studies have found that for men with coronary artery disease, using Viagra for erectile dysfunction not only reduces the risk of heart attack but also prolongs the patient's life.
In the study, the research team compared the effects of PDE5 inhibitor drugs like Viagra with alprostadil in patients with coronary artery disease, including 16,548 men treated with PDE5 inhibitors and 1,994 men treated with alprostadil.
After nearly 6 years of follow-up, the study found that the mortality rate was 14% in the group treated with PDE5 inhibitors, compared with 26% in the alprostadil group. In contrast, patients treated with PDE5 inhibitors had a 12% lower risk of death than those treated with alprostadil.
The results showed that men treated with PDE5 inhibitors lived longer and had a lower risk of new-onset myocardial infarction, heart failure, balloon dilation, and bypass surgery than those treated with alprostadil. It is important to note that this protective effect is dose-dependent, and the more frequent the dose of PDE5 inhibitors, the lower the corresponding risk.
However, the researchers stressed that because the study was observational and could not infer causality or clinical benefit, further evidence was needed to fully validate this finding.
2. Is long-term use of "Viagra" addictive?
When most people think of "Viagra", they think of "rejuvenation", but many men are shy away from it for fear that it could lead to addiction problems. However, is it really addictive to take "Viagra" for a long time?
Professor Zhang Yanbin of the Department of Urology of Hefei Second People's Hospital explained that the so-called "drug addiction" refers to the continuous taking of drugs by patients out of compulsive needs, and once the drug is stopped, there will be a withdrawal reaction, and it will be relieved after taking the drug, making it difficult for people to extricate themselves. However, the active ingredient of Viagra does not cause the addictive reactions described above.
In addition, in the World Health Organization's adverse drug reaction database, there are currently no reports on the addiction of "Nafei" drugs, so the rational use of Viagra will not make people fall into a strong state of dependence, and male friends do not need to worry too much.
In addition to the problem of addiction, there are also people who are afraid that after taking the drug, their "heroism" may not be as good as before, in fact, this is also a wrong concept. Taking sildenafil as an example, it is well tolerated, has a high safety profile, and can improve vascular endothelial function when used regularly and regularly, and can continue to maintain long-term efficacy after discontinuation of the drug.
However, it should be reminded that you need to consult your doctor before using it and follow the doctor's advice. Regarding side effects, some patients may experience facial flushing, dizziness, headache, nasal congestion, indigestion and other reactions, which are related to the frequency and dosage of use, which can be reduced or disappeared on their own after stopping the drug for a period of time.
3. Which of the 3 sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil is better?
Viagra is a general term for PDE5 inhibitors, mainly including sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, what should patients consider when choosing drugs? What are the advantages and disadvantages of these drugs? Wang Yang, the attending doctor of the Department of Emergency Urology of the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University, has made a detailed analysis for us, or can give you a little reference:
1. Sildenafil
Advantages: Take "hard" as the selling point, pay attention to hardness. It can be completely metabolized by the body after 24 hours.
Cons: The effect is quick, but also short-lived. It needs to be taken half an hour to 1 hour before sex. You can't take medicine while drinking.
2. Vardenafil
Advantages: With "fast" as the selling point, it can work within ten minutes, and is called "The Flash".
Disadvantages: The effect is too fast, starting 10 minutes after taking it, reaching the strongest effect within 25 minutes, but the duration may be shorter and not enough to support a longer process. You can't take medicine while drinking.
3. Tadalafil
Advantages: With "long" as the selling point, it is a long-acting PDE5 inhibitor. An effective time of up to 36 hours can be obtained with one oral administration. Alcohol can be consumed in moderation.
Cons: Relatively expensive.
Individual differences, sexual behavior plans, and drug characteristics should be considered when choosing the appropriate drug. If in doubt or need detailed guidance, it is advisable to seek the advice of a medical professional.
Overall, while "Viagra" excels in treating erectile dysfunction, it does not have the ability to improve ejaculation timing or libido. For normal people, it is not recommended to use this type of drug at will, and its use should be viewed rationally, especially without the guidance of a doctor, and do not try it at will.
