Viagra Does Not Work With Men With Low Testosterone

In 1998, Viagra was released in the US market and easily became popular and considered one of the most popular selling drugs in all categories of health. Because of Viagra, men had the confidence to talk with their doctors about their sexual problems like Erectile Dysfunction and when they are advised to buy Viagra; almost all of them were satisfied with the result. But not all sexual issues can be solved by Viagra. Recent study shows that Viagra is not effective to men having low testosterone even if they use hundreds of tablets according to an expert in sexual medicine. A ratio of more than one in five men having Erectile Dysfunction are suffering from low testosterone and 40% of men over 40 years old are affected with this disorder. Prevention of low testosterone is crucial to avoid other health problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular events. In the mid-20’s of a man, testosterone is at its peak and begins to gradually decline throughout life. If a sudden fall of testosterone happens, it could lead to more serious problems. Testosterone replacement therapy can treat low testosterone and this can change the life of a man. Not only the person that had low testosterone will be happy with the result, his partner will also be satisfied for bringing back the man that she married. It is important that doctors ask their patients about their sex lives and anything that can relate about sexual function. Patients are also responsible in providing the information on the problem to let the doctor know what to recommend. A consultant in sexual medicine said that general health is important in sexual function and sex life but this is not practiced in the society. Instead, doctors and patients do not have open communication and both are shy in discussing sexual symptoms. Not all patients have the same sexual problems like others who have diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, osteoporosis, and erectile dysfunction. They should be properly monitored by the doctor and always ask other sexual concerns. Women should also undergo medical help if they have sexual issues of their own. Those who have experienced early menopausal, and removal of ovaries are more likely to have sexual problems. They usually lack sexual desire, they are not easily aroused, they find hard time in reaching orgasm, and sometimes they feel pain during sexual intercourse. Cervical screening, menopausal assessment, and the guidelines for healthy sexual relationship should be sought.
