If you are wondering why the title reads Generic Viagra and erectile dysfunction instead of plainly using Viagra, let’s clarify one thing here. For starters, I don’t differentiate between generic Viagra and brand-name Viagra a tad bit. I am the kind of a guy that wants to go by what the experts and many at the FDA tell having tested both of them thoroughly. Secondly, I am more driven away by the hate campaign by those marketing people representing a large group which includes the makers of original Viagra to keep generic Viagra at bay and out of reach of those millions of frustrated night souls. I believe it is relevant to look a little deeper into the therapeutic mechanisms of how generic Viagra functions. The basic mechanism of erectile function is the ability of male adults to develop and maintain penile erection. As it is known very well, a number of factors contribute to have the penis ready for sexual act and a few important of them include a healthy cardiovascular system, optimal neurogenic order, right hormonal balance and a healthy functioning of penile muscles called as corpora cavernosa. Treating erectile dysfunction with generic Viagra takes care of increasing blood circulation to corpora cavernosa and helps keep it there sufficiently long enough for intercourse. The natural blood circulation to the penis is insufficient in those people suffering from ED due to various reasons which we have already seen above. But this is more in adults who are past their middle age or having diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes tends to damage the inner walls of blood vessels thus failing to supply enough blood to corpora cavernosa muscles. As if this was not enough, the damaged blood vessels are not in any position to hold whatever blood they supplied and as the blood leaks out of penile muscles you tend to loose whatever little erection you had. There are two important facts to know about Viagra or generic Viagra at this stage. Generic Viagra, like its original drug which falls into oral treatment category, is designed to give a temporary relief long enough for intercourse. Generic Viagra works on penis erection mechanism and not on the cause of the problem which needs to be thoroughly examined. Your doctor may decide on prescribing you with this oral drug based on certain examinations although there are not many specific tests to determine erectile dysfunction. The first and the fundamental of them is blood test to identify possible causes like diabetes and hormonal imbalances. Before Viagra or generic Viagra can be taken, you doctor may want to test you for all types of cardio vascular diseases, diabetes, etc. Viagra or generic Viagra works very well on both cases of psychologically as well as physiologically induced erectile dysfunction. Your physician may ask a few simple questions to determine whether yours is physiological or psychological, such as whether you ever had erection. Those who never had any erection at all in their lives, they are least likely to have a psychological problem causing erectile dysfunction. This may not alter the decision to prescribe generic Viagra but gives insights to a broader array of treating the problem for permanent solution.
