Erectile dysfunction is an issue that has been troubling men since we stood up erect and became our own species. It is a simple fact that this medical condition is nothing new. It has just become more prominent in the 20th century when it finally became an accepted thing to talk about sexual problems. Also, it has to be noted that the number of men suffering from ED has increased in the second half of the 20th century due to certain lifestyle changes. Namely, with the increased number of men suffering from type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and similar conditions, the number of men with ED rose as well. These are interconnected and there is no doubt that those conditions have become more prevalent as our lifestyle became more sedentary, as we started to eat junk food more and more and as we are under constant stress.
This aside, ED is a condition that we were unable to do anything significant about until the year 1998. Different treatments we had been using until that faithful year have mainly been less than efficient ones, from the field of folk remedies and different aphrodisiacs that had no beneficial effects apart from the placebo effect that was able to cure those cases of ED that were caused by psychological problems.
And then came that faithful year of 1998, the year in which Pfizer introduced their new drug called Viagra. It got all the necessary approvals after much clinical trials and studies and men with ED finally found an ally in treating that condition that has ailed them for too long. All of a sudden, it became possible for those men to achieve erections and to enjoy in active sex life, being able to enjoy in sex with their partners and feeling complete once more. Viagra has changed their lives for good.
The way in which Viagra was and still is capable to do so is by inhibiting a certain enzyme in the body, called the PDE% which was responsible for ED. Viagra is known as a PDE5 inhibitor, meaning that it prevents the production and the functioning of this enzyme, which in turn results in being able to achieve erections.
Since then, Viagra got its competition in drugs with the names Cialis and Levitra which work on basically the same principle. Of course, there are still those natural products and herbal supplements, but we will waste no time on those because they are nothing but baloney. However, we must not ignore the other two PDE5 medications, Cialis and Levitra. They are very similar to Viagra, but Viagra has been with us for longer and we are more knowledgeable about the way in which Viagra works, while we still need more time to get to know those other two medications. Therefore, Viagra is still the number 1 product for treating ED. The first, but still the best.
