Many men are hesitant to begin the discussion about Viagra. The first person you should begin the discussion with, when you’re ready, is your significant other. This is the first and very important step in beginning your journey to a more fulfilling sex life for both you and your partner. Once you’ve gotten over the embarrassment and initial hesitation, you may want to consider moving on to number two WITH your partner. This, of course, is speaking to your doctor.
The first thing you’ll want to understand is : How does Viagra work? Contrary to popular belief, Viagra does not make you become aroused. It will only work if you are already aroused because what it does is regulate the chemicals in your brain needed to relax the penile muscle which is what allows the blood to flow more freely into the penis causing the erection. For this reason, you’ll want to definitely plan ahead for your sexual endeavors and take your Viagra pill BEFORE you know you’re going to want to begin sexual activity.
The second thing you may be concerned about are the side effects of Viagra. Some of these side effects are:
you can begin to see a blue tint to your vision, ringing in your ears, hearing loss suddenly, heavy feelings in the chest, change in blood pressure, nausea, sweating, swelling of the hands and feet, and irregular heartbeat just to name a few. These side effects generally do not affect people permanently, but it is of course important to speak to your doctor about each and every one of these possible side effects. People with high blood pressure should not take Viagra. People with heart conditions should also not take it as it is unsafe for people with these conditions.
One more important thing to be aware of are the medications you are taking. If you are taking medications for certain things, you cannot mi x them or take them with Viagra. These would include medications for heart conditions and blood pressure, for the reasons stated above. When you go to the doctor for your initial visit to discuss possibly taking viagra, be sure to bring with you a full, complete and honest list of all the medications you are currently taking and/or prescribed so your doctor can look over the list and tell you if Viagra will be a safe drug for you to take.
Lastly, always be sure to take Viagra, as you would any other medication, only as directed. Erections lasting longer than twelve hours should be taken seriously and drive to the er right away. Make sure to make the most of your experience with viagra.
