Sildenafil citrate, the active component in Kamagra Jelly, belongs to a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. It works by increasing blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation, helping to achieve and maintain an erection. It does this by relaxing the blood vessels in the penile region, allowing for increased blood flow.
Super Kamagra, like Viagra, is generally effective in treating erectile dysfunction. It usually starts working within 30 to 60 minutes and its effects can last for up to four hours. However, it does not increase sexual desire; sexual stimulation is still required for it to be effective.
Healthcare providers will ask questions about a patient’s sexual history, medications, and sex habits. This can help determine whether symptoms are psychogenic or organic.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is a recurrent inability to produce an erection that lasts long enough for penetration during sexual activity. It can be a physical condition or the result of psychological factors, such as a fear of intimacy.
In most cases, your healthcare provider will start by taking a thorough medical and sexual history to help distinguish between the physical and psychological causes of ED. They may also ask about your attitudes about sex and sexual experience and what triggers you to lose or sustain an erection.
You get an erection when blood fills two chambers in the base of your penis. Anything that interferes with these signals or prevents blood flow to your penis can cause ED. This includes conditions like spinal stenosis, prostate surgery, and cancer treatments, as well as medications including testosterone and some antidepressants. ED becomes more common as you age but is not a normal part of aging.
Erectile Dysfunction Causes
A man gets an erection when blood fills two chambers in the penis, called the corpora cavernosa. Pulses from the brain and genital nerves trigger this. Anything that blocks these impulses or restricts blood flow can cause erectile dysfunction.
Medical causes include vascular disease (blood vessel problems), nerve damage, and certain medications. The most common cause of ED in older men is arteriosclerosis or hardening of the arteries. Other causes are diabetes, high cholesterol, and stress. Many of these risk factors are controllable, such as smoking and excessive alcohol use.
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms. They may also order a blood test to look for underlying health problems. They might suggest a couple’s or individual therapy from sexual health professionals. Some newer drugs, such as a dissolvable version of Levitra that goes under the tongue, are being developed to treat erectile dysfunction. These may work more quickly than the pills available now and have fewer side effects.
Erectile Dysfunction Symptoms
Men with erectile dysfunction have trouble getting or keeping an erection that’s firm enough for sexual activity. Erections happen when blood fills two chambers in your penis and stiffens with impulses from genital nerves. Anything that blocks these impulses or prevents blood flow to the penis can cause ED. That includes age, certain diseases, some medications and even having surgery.
Most men sometimes have trouble getting or keeping an erection. But that’s usually not a problem, and you should talk to your doctor if it happens often or regularly or is bothersome or stressful.
Your doctor may use a wandlike device to check your blood flow (ultrasound) or ask you questions about any psychological problems that might affect sex. He or she also might take a sample of your blood, or a urine test, to look for diabetes and other health conditions. He or she might give you a pill that makes your blood vessels widen and triggers an erection.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatments
Effective treatments for erectile dysfunction are available. They can include medications, physical therapy and other options such as penile implants or surgery. Your doctor will consider your preferences, lifestyle and underlying health conditions when choosing the right treatment for you.
Medications for ED work by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical your body produces that relaxes muscles in the penis and increases blood flow. These medicines, which vary in dosage and duration of effect, are not aphrodisiacs and don’t cause an erection until sexual stimulation occurs. They may also interfere with the effectiveness of nitroglycerin (used to treat chest pain) and other drugs that act like it.
Behavioral therapies can also help treat ED. They can help you cope with your symptoms and overcome a fear of sexual activity. If ED has created stress, anxiety or depression in you and your partner or strained your relationship, your doctor might recommend seeing a therapist or counselor.
