How Viagra and Cialis Work

How Viagra and Cialis Work

Both Viagra and Cialis belong to a class of medications called PDE-5 inhibitors. These drugs are designed to help men achieve and maintain an erection by enhancing blood flow to the penis. Viagra typically starts working within 30 minutes and lasts for about 4 to 6 hours, while Cialis takes about 1 to 2 hours to kick in but can last up to 36 hours.

These medications block an enzyme called PDE-5, which breaks down cyclic GMP. Cyclic GMP is a chemical that relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow. By inhibiting this enzyme, Viagra and Cialis allow more cyclic GMP to remain in the body, improving blood flow to the penis.

The Role of Blood Flow in Erectile Dysfunction

Achieving an erection isn't just about taking a pill. Erection starts in the brain. Sexual arousal triggers a cascade of events that lead to increased blood flow to the penis. The brain sends signals to the blood vessels, which release nitric oxide. This nitric oxide increases cyclic GMP levels, causing the blood vessels to dilate and more blood to flow into the penis, resulting in an erection.

However, if your nitric oxide levels are low, Viagra and Cialis may not work as effectively. Nitric oxide can be obtained through diet, particularly from foods like beets, arugula, and leafy greens. If your body’s ability to produce nitric oxide is compromised, whether due to poor diet, stress, or health issues, then the medications may not provide the desired results.


Why Viagra and Cialis Might Not Always Work

Viagra and Cialis can temporarily improve blood flow to the penis, but they don't fix the underlying problems that cause erectile dysfunction. These problems might include low testosterone, unhealthy eating, being overweight, diabetes, or stress. These medications don't make you want sex more or increase your testosterone levels. If your ED is due to low testosterone or poor health, just taking pills might not help for a long time.

Using Viagra all the time can also make it less effective over time. Because ED medications only treat the symptoms and not the cause, it's important to find and fix the real reason for your ED.

The Side Effects of Viagra and Cialis

Viagra and Cialis are effective for about 70% of men, but they can have side effects. These medications lower blood pressure, which can cause dizziness, fainting, or even stroke. Common side effects also include headaches, nasal congestion, visual changes, and flushing. There's also a risk of priapism, a prolonged erection that can damage the penis. If you experience any of these side effects, talk to your doctor.


Addressing the Root Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

ED often signals deeper health problems like heart disease, obesity, or diabetes. While medications like Viagra or Cialis can help temporarily, addressing the root causes is key for long-term improvement. By making healthy lifestyle changes, you can often reverse ED without relying solely on drugs.

A Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can boost blood flow. Regular exercise, especially workouts that target the abdomen, can increase testosterone and improve circulation. Prioritizing sleep and stress management is also crucial. Adequate rest and relaxation can help reduce psychological factors that contribute to ED.


Final Thoughts

Viagra and Cialis can be helpful for temporary relief from ED but they don't solve the underlying problem. For long-term sexual health, it's important to focus on overall wellness. Eating well, exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and managing stress can significantly improve your sexual function. These lifestyle changes might even help you reduce or eliminate your need for ED medication.

If you're struggling with ED, getting a blood test to check your cholesterol, blood sugar, and testosterone levels can be a good idea. Taking a proactive approach to your health can help you regain control of your sexual wellness and enjoy lasting benefits.
