Hope for those who Viagra does not work for?

I wish I could just die. These are the thoughts of Ron Hanson, a man experiencing a type of impotence known as erectile dysfunction, which is simply the inability of a man to attain or sustain an erection long enough to achieve sexual penetration. In his early forties, Ron (not real name) could be considered too young by many to be affected by this problem. When Ron finds out that he has ED, he, in keeping in line with men before him who were experiencing similar problem, he decides to bottle up his problem to himself.

After seven years of suffering in silence, Ron summons up courage to discuss his problem with a urologist. This decision, of course, is in no small part swayed by the recent breakthrough in the treatment of ED with the discovery of Viagra. Filled with a new surge of hope, after he buys Viagra cheap online, Ron gets himself a girl to test the efficacy of his magic acquisition.

But alas, on the appointed day when Ron is supposed to put his scourge of impotence to bed, his penis refuses to rise; the magic pill has failed him.
The astonishing success story associated with the use of real Viagra tablets since hitting the market as an ED treatment, means that a lot of men who are plagued by the ED scourge are now filled with hope. Many now besiege their doctors for prescription, while numerous internet sites have sprung up to attend to the needs of those who want to buy Viagra online without prescription.

Erectile dysfunction is a medical condition commonly caused by diabetes, heart disease and psychiatric conditions. Another factor that makes a man prone to erectile dysfunction is the effect of prostrate cancer surgery on the man.

When a man is sexually aroused, he experiences a rush of blood to his penis which results in erection. A man who is suffering from ED, however, would not encounter this normal pathway. This is because his ‘in’ vessels or arteries are too narrow, or because his ‘out’ muscles or veins are such that blood drains quickly through them, according to the words of Arnold Aigen, MD, a urologist with Camino Medical Group, Sunnyvale, Calif. There are times when Viagra, the therapeutic drug that releases nitric oxide into the corpus cavernosum of the penis in order for erection to take place, may not be effective enough because the arteries are too narrow.

The narrow arteries may have been the reason for the failure of the drug to work in Ron’s case. This is notwithstanding the headache Ron had to bear because he used the blue pill. Fortunately, when Viagra failed to work for him, Ron discovered alternatives which worked.

Alprostadil as an effective alternative to Viagra
Alpostradil is a medication – that has to be taken either alone or in combination with other drugs like papaverine and phentolamine, according to experts – that widens the arteries. As an ED drug, the drug can produce an erection within ten minutes of administration, which can last up to one hour. Teresa Beam, a urologist with the Grey Clinic, was quick to point out to the disadvantages of using the drug, primary of which is the injection mode of administration. She went on to highlight priapism – a case of prolonged painful erection – as a side effect of the drug.
To make the drug attractive to men who are averse to injection, the drug is now available as a suppository in pelleted form to be inserted into the tip of the penis and absorbed via the urethral lining. Taking this way, according to the Impotence World Association, the drug can produce erection that can last from 30 to 60 minutes.
