That little blue pill isn't always the answer either.
Dr. John Mulcahy of Indiana University, a nationally-known expert on erectile dysfunction (the scientific term for impotence), provides the reason behind viagra's phenomenal success.
'By the mid-to-late fifties, 1 of 4 men are impotent. By the mid-sixties it is half; by the mid-seventies it is most men are impotent.
Research from the National Institutes of Health found that 5% of 40 year old men are impotent too. So the legions of men seeking prescriptions for viagra may indeed be true sufferers of impotence. For them, the success rates with viagra are impressive.
For men whose impotence is caused by psychological factors, viagra has been shown to work in 90% of these cases. For impotence that is traced to a biological cause, viagra has a 60%-70% rate of effectiveness. This is even true in cases of spinal cord injury, or in men who have had their prostates removed.
But impotence may also be caused by factors such as medication use and lifestyle. Keep in mind that smoking, obesity and medications such as antidepressants and antihistamines can also reduce sexual functioning, and alteration of these factors is a better solution than viagra.
