Viagra Is More Than Just An Erection
Aside from the benefic effects on the sex life, Viagra has also other positive effects.
Saarland University researchers have discovered that Viagra may ease symptoms of a circulatory disorder called Raynaud's phenomenon. Viagra had reduced the frequency and duration of Raynaud's attacks, improved capillary blood flow and helped heal chronic toe and finger ulcerations. A new research has now revealed that Viagra can help the sufferers of a devastating pulmonary arterial hypertension. The condition, which affects about 100,000 people worldwide, causes tiny blood vessels in the lungs to thicken and narrow, often for no apparent reason. Viagra could protect mountaineers from the potentially lethal effect on the heart of high altitude and low oxygen levels. According to study findings presented at a meeting of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America, treatment with Viagra can improve urinary tract symptoms in men with erectile dysfunction and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a common disease in older men that involves urinary symptoms due to enlargement of the prostate gland. A report by researchers at Johns Hopkins University claims that Viagra appears to reduce the effects of hormonal stress on the heart by 50 percent. A team at University of Vermont College of Medicine concluded testing on rats, that no descendents died in the pregnancies where mother rats were received Viagra. These findings are exciting because they suggest that Viagra may have beneficial effects in hypertensive pregnancy and possibly, pre-eclampsia.Valerian D is a freelance writer interested in issues such as what clinical studies say about Viagra
