Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that will impact most men at some point in their lives. One of the most effective treatments for erectile dysfunction is Sildenafil, which has in recent years enabled men with the condition – and their partners – to enjoy a normal sex life once again. But as well as Sildenafil helping you rediscover your sexual potency, there are a range of other potential health benefits that are only just being discovered. Here are some of the proven benefits of taking Sildenafil – other than being able to enjoy sex once again!

Improved heart health

Because Sildenafil helps reduce the patient’s heart rate and blood pressure during exercise – which includes sex – those with poor heart health are more able to partake in exercise to improve their health. Some patients also stop taking heart medication because they fear they are impacting their ability to get an erection due to the side-effects of their heart medication – with Sildenafil this needn’t happen, ensuring people stay on their prescribed heart medication.

Improved pulmonary health

Sildenafil helps blood vessels situated in the lungs to dilate and relax, which helps keep lungs working healthily and efficiently. Furthermore, it is thought to be able to effectively treat a common, yet life-threatening lung condition known as pulmonary arterial hypertension. Benefits for those with diabetes. It is thought that Sildenafil helps relax the stomach muscles, which in turn can delay the processing of food in the gut. By acting in this way, it can help keep blood sugar levels and insulin levels on a more even pathway, preventing the dips and spikes which can be dangerous in those with diabetes.

Improved exercise capacity

The fact that Sildenafil can help both heart and lung health makes it a medication of interest for those studying exercise science. Some studies have already shown that sports requiring efficient lung functioning can benefit from the medication.

Reduced risk of stroke

There are a variety of factors that contribute to the likelihood of stroke, including lack of exercise, heart health, and lung functioning – all of which may be helped by Sildenafil. However, there is also a genetic factor in stroke risk, and Sildenafil is thought to be able to block the gene which increases the risk of stroke.

Improved mental health and wellbeing

The stresses and strains that can result from experiencing erectile dysfunction can take their toll on both individuals and couples. Being able to enjoy a normal sex life again can significantly improve the quality of relationships and reduce the burden of stress as a result.
