Viagra Connect 50mg

Viagra Connect is a treatment for men aged 18 years and older with erectile dysfunction. This treatment is suitable for men who experience erectile dysfunction (ED), also known as impotence, which is an inability to achieve or maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sex. Erections depend on many different factors, including proper blood flow to the penis. Reduced blood flow to the penis may cause erectile dysfunction.

Erectile Dysfunction is a condition when a male has the inability to get and/or maintain an erection for a suitable amount of time. It can be due to many factors such as physical, emotional or environmental. This condition is very common in today’s society with studies showing that around 30 million men are affected by this in the United states.

Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by many different factors, such as physical, emotional and environmental. The most common factor though would be physical. It could possibly be down to an known or unknown injury to yourself (to the penis directly or an injury around the spinal cord). Physical diseases can also cause erectile dysfunction, such as Multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s and Kidney disease. Moreover, lifestyle choices can have a dramatic effect on this also such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol.

Treatments for Erectile Dysfunction (ED) are usually effective. The NHS highlights some causes and treatments for ED on their website. One cause is the narrowing of penis blood cells, high blood pressure or high cholesterol which they suggest you should take medicine for to lower the blood pressure or take statins to lower cholesterol. Another cause is hormone problems which the NHS suggests hormone replacement therapy for, for example testosterone. And lastly, another cause of ED is the side effects of prescribed medicine. The treatment for this cause is to change medicine after speaking to a GP. Viagra is a very popular treatment for erectile dysfunction.
