Erectile Dysfunction and Viagra

This thought just came to me. Viagra puts men at higher risk for chronic disease. Now, I'm not a doctor or claim that this statement is actually true, but hear me out.

Before the pills to help with ED men had to suffer and/or go to the doctor to see what was up. Sometimes in the course of ruling out health problems that might be causing the ED, a chronic disease, heart problems or diabetes might be found. When the disease is treated or managed, the ED might just be taken care of.

Now there is a pill that Doctors can prescribe to take care of the ED and the consumer can ask for it by name. The pesky tests and physicals that would have taken place in the past are no longer conducted. Therefore, it is not caught in a timely manner and the disease worsens. Putting men at higher risk.

It is affecting the health of my family members and it makes me mad. Possibly this heart-attack could have been avoided had he not been able to take a pill to get it up. Or his diabetes may have, in the early stages, been able to be managed by diet and exercise. Now he has to take insulin a number of times a day.

So, for gods' sake, get yourself checked out BEFORE you start taking the pill to get it up. It might just save your life. When the penis isn't working right, there might be something else not working right, too.
