What are the options, natural or otherwise, for erectile dysfunction treatment? Find out more about this subject and much more about Viagra, the pioneering erectile dysfunction drug.

Various options for the treatment of erectile dysfunction

Most men suffer from erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. One in ten men suffers from this problem owing to a host of factors, which can be physical or psychological in nature. If you too suffer from this agony, then there is no reason to feel sad. Various options for the treatment of erectile dysfunction are available today.

From natural and herbal treatments to prescription drugs, lot of remedies are available. However, whether all these remedies are effective or not is not known as most of them are not clinically proven. Only prescription drugs approved by FDA and MHRA rules are clinically tested and their benefits are found to outweigh their potential side effects.

Herbal and natural remedies available off the shelf in local stores promise rock hard erections, an increase in stamina, better performance capacity and so on. However, most people who spend their money on these drugs get nothing more than a lighter wallet.

What options are available for erectile dysfunction treatments?

There are many options besides the so-called guaranteed natural products. Some of the medications available for erectile dysfunction treatments on prescription are Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

All these drugs belong to a class of drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors. They all work in the same manner to help men achieve erections by increasing the blood flow to the penis. The difference between these three drugs is that they all have different ingredients and as a result, they offer slightly different benefits and drawbacks. For instance, sildenafil in Viagra stays in the system for four hours and tadalafil in Cialis stays for 36 hours. Different men prefer different levels of staying power, some men may find four hours enough and would not like the effect of medication in the body for 36 hours; Viagra is a good option for such men.

Viagra is a medical solution for erectile dysfunction.

Viagra is the first oral drug ever approved for treating erectile dysfunction. When it was introduced, many people were skeptical about it. However, facing all the criticism and cynicism, Viagra went on to become the most popular drug in the world, second only to aspirin. For this erectile dysfunction drug to do so well, was not even expected by Viagra manufacturer, Pfizer. Men who had stayed quiet for years, suffering in silence with erectile dysfunction, suddenly came in droves to request the drug. Viagra was not only a medical solution for erectile dysfunction but a hope for men who had lived in misery for years owing to their erection problems.

Is Viagra available on a private prescription?

Even though, we hear time and again about Viagra being sold over the counter for easy access to men, it is only legally available on prescription. The reason Viagra is available on private prescription is that many men misuse the medication for recreation and this may have negative consequences. Recently, a man who misused Viagra and did not pay heed to doctor's prescription, suffered a major vision problem. He sees everything in blue. Such incidents happen very rarely, nevertheless, it is important to avoid misusing the drug. Lately, news of a Viagra liquid form is circulating, which will be sold over the counter. This news has gotten many men excited and they are waiting for the release of this drink. But until that appears Viagra remains available on prescription for your safety and for your benefit.

Fitness experts swear by the health benefits of bicycling. However, it's now seen that there might be a bothersome trade-off involved in the process. Bicycling can definitely help you burn those calories and improve your levels of cardiovascular fitness, but the many hours spent on the bicycle saddle is going to take a toll on the various arteries and nerves leading to the penis. They can get compressed leading to erectile dysfunction (ED).

The historical perspective of the problem

It would be an error to think that the problem has come to light just recently. Cyclists have been complaining of numbness in the groin for ages. The earliest reported instances of these complaints go as far back as the 1890s. But, it was not until 1997, when 'Bicycling' magazine came out with an article about ED and its relationship with bicycling, that the relationship gained widespread notice.

After gaining the much needed public attention, the relationship has been the basis of some extensive research. It's been found that the relationship can be supported by overwhelming evidence. However, it must also be noted that not everybody who rides a bicycle suffers from the problem.

Shape and structure of the seat plays an important role

The shape of the seat and its inherent structure has a significant role to play in terms of bicycling and its relationship with ED. Experts suggest that the traditional bicycle saddle should be replaced by what is known as the "no-nose" seat. This is the kind of seat that helps in the redistribution of the weight to the sit bones of the buttocks. Your choice of the right bicycle fitting can help keep the ED at bay. You must choose the correct size of the frame, and make sure that the height of the handlebar and the position of the seat are perfect. If you are to sort out this problem, it's of paramount importance that you don't use the traditional biking seat.

Bicycling measures that will help prevent ED

As a man, after reading about the reports that link bicycling with ED, you will get worried. But don't given up on the idea of bicycling just because it might lead to ED. Even if you suffer from related ED, the effect is temporary and reversible. You can also adopt some specific measures that will help you prevent this erection problem. You might want to think about changing the angle of the seat. The angle should be such that the seat is parallel to the ground.

You can also place it slightly forward, which will help you take the pressure away from the perineum. The use of wider seats can also help alleviate the pressure on the perineum by redistributing the weight. Another measure that is adopted by many men is changing their style of riding. A style is worked out that helps reduce the pressure on the perineum. One of the common ways adopted by many men is to stand on the pedal, on long rides. This helps in preventing the build up of pressure and the restoration of the blood flow.

Don't fear bicycling

It's natural to develop an apprehension of bicycling, but you should not give it up on account of fearing ED. The erectile dysfunction that might result through bicycling is not serious and its effect can be reversed. Also, if you do face problems, they can be treated by choosing the proper bike fit and also selecting the proper seat. Bicycling offers tremendous benefits and just one temporary problem shouldn't dissuade you from this exercise. Develop effective strategies to counter this problem and keep in mind that the health benefits of bike riding are way more than the dangers of ED.

Author of this article also provides information on impotence remedies like viapro and herbal Viagra alternative which help to improve the erections in men.
