Probably the first time when you cannot achieve your desired erection you will think about impotence and what to do about it. Erectile dysfunction (ED) or male impotence is defined as the inability of a man to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for mutually satisfactory intercourse with his partner.

Sexual health and function are important determinants of quality of life. As people age, disorders such as erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence are becoming increasingly more important. Because this subject is discussed widely in the media, men and women of all ages are seeking guidance in an effort to improve their relationships and experience satisfying sex lives.

Unfortunately one of the first things men will have in mind is pills. Pills will cure anything and everything or so we are told from a very young age so we trust pills. So let’s see what drugs treat erectile dysfunctions:

A. Herbal pills, supplements, patches and creams:

Preliminary research on a few herbal supplements — such as DHEA, ginseng and propionyl-L-carnitine — suggests that they may provide benefit as an erectile dysfunction treatment in some men. But no adequate clinical trials have evaluated either the effectiveness or the safety of supplements in treating erectile dysfunction.

In addition, one popular herbal medicine called Yohimbe — which is marketed as a sexual stimulant — can be dangerous if used in excessive amounts. Adverse side effects include high blood pressure and heart failure.

B. Synthetic drugs: Sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), Vardenafil (Levitra):

Viagra, Levitra and Cialis work in much the same way. Chemically known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, these drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood and allows a natural sequence to occur — an erection in response to sexual stimulation.

These pills don’t automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence. Nevertheless, there are differences between the pills as well. They vary in dosage, duration of effectiveness and possible side effects. Other distinctions — for example: which drug is best for a certain type of men — aren’t yet known. No study has directly compared these three medications.

If you’ll ever feel tempted to try free erectile dysfunction samples, please don’t. Nothing is free on earth and neither are impotence solutions. Don’t fall for scams because you will just become the number 10,001 in a prosecutor’s list of people scammed by a dishonest operation.

There are ways to get support and help without spending indecent amounts of money. Erectile dysfunction forums are flourishing on the Internet. Some offer more valuable advice than others, some require a members’ fee and you will get access to bonus services, some have more active members than others, but they can all basically help you safely navigate the world of erectile dysfunction and penis enhancement.
