Viagra – Single Solution for Numerous Problems
The history of creating Viagra shows that even if the medication was designed for one purpose, there are no problems for it to become a leader in the treatment of other health issues. For those who are not yet familiar with the story, here it is. Sildenafil Citrate, which is the major acting ingredient in Viagra, initially was aimed at curing angina. The effect was insignificant though. But, the men participating in the clinical trials reported on a “side effect” of the drug, which in the end has become the primary goal of its usage. The male patients told about a better quality of erections they had due to the drug.
The outcome of this story is known because there is hardly any adult person on our planet who doesn’t know about the high efficiency of Viagra for the erectile function. However, this is not the only health problem that can be solved with the help of this medication. Read on to learn more.
Sexual performance anxiety? Viagra can deal!
You may say: how is it possible that the drug for ED can cope with psychological health issues? The answer is very simple. To find it, one only has to know about the possible causes of performance anxiety. In men, these are stress and, consequently low libido, failure in bed, and erection problems.
Viagra can’t reduce the stress level, but it can guarantee men a firm erection that will last long enough for normal-duration sexual intercourse. Hence, Viagra can eliminate the probability of failure in bed or erection loss. The more confident a man feels about his sexual health, the lower gets the level of his sexual performance anxiety. So, as you can see, Viagra can solve not only physical but also emotional health problems.
What does Viagra have to do with menstrual cramps?
It is obvious that a drug against ED shouldn’t be used in women as they cannot have such a problem due to their physiological peculiarities. However, Viagra breaks the barriers. A small study carried out by Croatian scientists revealed that Sildenafil Citrate can significantly ease the severity of menstrual cramps or as they are also called primary dysmenorrhea in women.
60 women aged 18 – 35 years old were qualified for the trial. 25 of them completed the experiment. The women had to use Viagra tablets vaginally and evaluate the level of pain during four consecutive hours. The results showed that pain relief was faster and better in patients using Viagra compared to the placebo group. Besides, no adverse reactions were reported in a Viagra group.
Such an effect of the drug can be explained by its ability to stimulate the relaxation of the smooth musculature throughout the human body. Myometrium, which primarily consists of the smooth muscle tissue and is a middle layer of the uterus gets relaxed under the effect of Sildenafil. As a result, menstrual cramps stop. Of course, this question still needs to be studied, but the prospects are very promising.
PAH can be improved with Sildenafil
Sildenafil Citrate is one of the medications that are approved for pulmonary arterial hypertension curing. Even though this ailment is incurable, it is important to help people with PAH improve their quality of life and let them make the most of it even with such a diagnosis.
The medication induces the relaxation of the pulmonary blood vessels, thus increasing the supply of blood to the lungs. Due to this, the load on the heart gets lower, whereas the level of the cells’ oxygenation increases. The result of it is a general improvement of stamina, breathing gets easier, a person can be more physically active. Besides, the chest pain, dizziness, and fatigue also improve.
A smaller dosage of Sildenafil if compared to the pills against ED, make it possible to use this medication in both men and women. Sildenafil for the treatment of PAH can be used even in children and infants.
Conclusions
These are only some of the possible Sildenafil applications. This drug is truly universal and, who knows, maybe in the near future it will become a cure for the severest diseases.
