Sex Enhancing Medicine

"A satisfying sex life can foster good emotional health, which in turn can promote good physical health," says Julia Heiman, Ph.D., director of The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction at Indiana University.

Cialis and Viagra bottles and pills

Sex itself may have direct health benefits. For example, orgasm or any loving touch may cause the body to release substances that ease pain, bolster immunity, or elevate mood long after the immediate pleasure passes. Indeed, people who have strong, intimate relationships tend to have fewer chronic diseases and to live longer, some research suggests. So there can be good reasons beyond just pleasure to address any significant loss of sexual appetite or activity, regardless of your age. There are many benefits to healthy living. But can medicines help us? Nowadays, consumers are generally comfortable buying sex-enhancing medicines online.

The most important is to understand and define the cause of the problem. Largely physical problems, such erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation or vaginal dryness, can be easily treated by sex-enhancing medicines. However, we need to keep in mind psychological issues as well. These are usually the major culprits in the two most common sexual problems: lack of desire in women and premature ejaculation in men. Low sex drive is not the same as impotence, but many of the same aspects that inhibit physical problems can also inhibit your desire.

Studies have shown that both men and women suffer from sexual disorders. Perhaps every man knows this. There is no worse feeling than a man’s frustration when his little soldier won’t salute. To solve this problem, it is advised to define if the cause is physical or psychical. If psychical, then a variety of therapy is available, but physical problems require proper medical examination. It is best to address this problem with professional help, preferably in consultation with a qualified healthcare professional. Psychiatrists may be involved in the management of sexual health problems. Either of them can prescribe the medicine if they think it is right for you. A good sex therapist can help you find a treatment that better suits your circumstances. Usually, once the cause of the erectile dysfunction is defined, the doctor will suggest proper sex-enhancing medicine.

Medication to the rescue

The introduction of Sildenafil (Viagra) a decade ago clearly demonstrated that some sexual problems can be alleviated. Other active ingredients such as Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Avanafil (Spedra/Stendra) were soon developed by other pharmaceutical companies. All these medicines belong to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis to help achieve and maintain an erection.

The enzyme phosphodiesterase type 5 is responsible for controlling blood flow in the penis. When there is too much of this enzyme, it prevents the build-up of extra blood in the penis and prevents your erection from getting hard. Sildenafil inhibits the activity of phosphodiesterase type 5 and improves blood flow to the penis, resulting in a firm erection. By dilating the blood vessels in the penis, these PDE5 inhibitors can help to improve male potency and increase the blood flow needed for an erection. However, without sexual stimulation, sildenafil and other phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors are ineffective. If you are not sexually stimulated, they will not give you an involuntary erection.

Except those officially prescribed sex-enhancing drugs, more affordable are their generics. Generic sex-enhancing drugs are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are considered as safe as the original product. The cost of medicines is being driven down by increasing competition from pharmaceutical companies to produce medicines and to make them available at cheaper price. You can take the medicine yourself, or it can be given to you by your healthcare provider. Always take the time to research the pros and cons before starting.

What about the women?

Medical conditions like FSD (Female Sexual Dysfunction) and FSAD (Female Sexual Arousal Disorder) are now being taken seriously by doctors. Reduced vaginal lubrication and clitoral sensitivity, can both be caused by the same cardiovascular issues that cause erectile dysfunction in men. But, more frequently than not, these issues are caused by low estrogen levels after menopause.

According to preliminary study, the medication Lovegra and related medications will improve sexual performance in some women. The active ingredient of Lovegra is sildenafil, the same as in Viagra for men. Women taking Lovegra can reportedly experience increased blood flow and sensitivity in the vaginal area, leading to better natural lubrication and an increased success rate during intercourse. Lovegra is not an aphrodisiac, and stimulation will be required to achieve results.

A word of caution

Along with its needed effects, every sex-enhancing medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur, they may need medical attention.

Most common side effects

These common side effects are connected to dehydration and usually diminish by increasing water intake:

  • headache
  • flushing
  • upset stomach
  • stuffy or runny nose
  • nausea
  • dizziness

Serious side effects

Although serious side effects are rare, if you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking any sex-enhancing medicine and seek emergency medical care immediately.

Serious side effects include:

  • an erection that will not go away (priapism). If you have an erection that lasts more than 4 hours, get medical help right away
  • sudden vision loss in one or both eyes (it can be a sign of a serious eye problem called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)
  • sudden hearing decrease or hearing loss

Important Notice

Patients under treatment for the following conditions, or any ongoing managed condition, should consult their doctor prior to taking any sex-enhancing medicine:

  • heart related & cardiovascular diseases including aortic stenosis, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and general ventricular outflow obstruction
  • stroke, myocardial infarction (heart attack) or serious arrhythmia within the last 6 months
  • cardiac failure or coronary artery disease causing unstable angina
  • blood pressure related diseases including hypertension & hypotension and patients with severely impaired autonomic control of blood pressure
  • resting hypotension (low blood pressure) of (BP<90/50)
  • resting hypertension (high blood pressure) of (BP>170/110)
  • surgery within the last 6 months

It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a full list of possible side effects and to determine whether sex-enhancing drugs are safe based on your individual health profile.
