Learn how the ED can be issue of heart attack

Sexual dysfunction in men is often the first sign of cardiovascular illness. A lack of blood flow to the penis causes erectile dysfunction (ED) and often for the same reasons that one experiences heart attack or stroke. It works the other way around too. Certain medications will cause erectile dysfunction such as treatment for depression, blood pressure and sedatives. This can be remedied by a change in dosage or an alternative therapy or treatment.

Erectile dysfunction is a by-product of age too. The levels of testosterone in the body drop significantly as we age, in fact, by the age of 50 testosterone levels are said to drop by two-thirds due to stress, the gaining of weight, indulging in alcohol or not doing enough exercise.

When there are problems with sexual dysfunction, the condition should be heeded as a warning sign of existing cardiovascular issues and medical attention should be sought immediately.

If ED treatment is right for you, there is a lot of choice available and it can be difficult deciding which treatment to purchase.

The most popular treatments include Viagra, Cialis and Levitra (the PDE5 inhibitors) and they all come with advantages and disadvantages depending on the man’s preference. Cialis is the second most popular ED drug the world over and is very similar to Viagra but Cialis is longer lasting. This does not mean that one experiences an erection for a longer period of time but upon being sexually stimulated, the effects can last up to 36 hours as opposed to approximately 4 hours with Viagra or Levitra.

Statistics show that this drug is especially popular for long weekends and that there is a huge increase in Cialis purchases for such public holidays as there is with erectile dysfunction treatment in general, for example, leading up to Valentine’s day and the Christmas period as people look forward to celebrating with sex.

Possible side effects that occur after taking Cialis can include headache, indigestion, back pain or nasal congestion. With Cialis, because the half-life is longer than other PDE5 inhibitors, side effects, if experienced at all, will last longer than other ED treatments with a shorter half-life like Viagra or Levitra whose effects last up to four hours usually.
