Treat Your ED for Less with Our PDE5 Inhibitor Medications

If you’ve been living with erectile dysfunction (ED), you are probably aware of the frustration it can bring. Defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for intercourse, ED can wreak havoc on a man’s confidence, sexual health, and quality of life.

While this condition affects more than 20 million American men, their partners often report a lowered quality of life as well. Fortunately, men can experience relief with PDE5 inhibitor medications, available at The Edge For Men!

What Are PDE5 Inhibitor Medications

Formally known as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, PDE5 inhibitors are a class of drugs that primarily treat ED. You’ve probably heard
of this medication without even realizing it.

Some of the more well-known brand-name medications that treat ED include Viagra® and Cialis®. These drugs and their generic counterparts are effective in increasing penile blood flow for those suffering from ED.

How Do PDE5 Inhibitors Work?

To understand how these medications work, you must first know how an erection occurs. This process is surprisingly complex and involves a very precise sequence of physical and psychological events in order to take place.

During sexual arousal, the brain signals to the blood vessels in the penis to release a burst of nitric oxide. This chemical has a few important roles to play. It works to not only increase the amount of blood flow into the penis but also shut off the veins that let the blood drain out from the shaft. Once blood is trapped within the corpora cavernosa, you achieve an erection.

Think of attaining and achieving an erection like the domino effect. If you miss even one step (or domino) in the entire process, nothing will happen.

Of course, there needs to be a switch to shut down erections. Enter phosphodiesterases (a.k.a. PDE5). This group of chemicals is responsible for returning your blood flow back to normal and blocking nitric oxide, thus ending an erection. When these chemicals are balanced, all systems essentially go.

However, if these PDE5 chemicals work too well, you could experience ED. That’s where PDE5 inhibitors can help. These medications work to block PDE5, allowing your muscles to relax and the blood flow to increase in your penis.

How Effective Are These Medications?

PDE5 inhibitors are efficient in successfully treating ED. According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, 60-70% of patients with ED see a positive outcome when taking these medications. These men report improved erections, an increase in self-esteem, greater sexual health, and improved quality of life.
