Many men and women find it challenging to discuss sexual function difficulties with their doctors. Many men take the easy road and walk to the drug store for what appears to be a safe alternative—male enhancement drugs—at a time when the first step should be to make an appointment and speak out.
These medications, which are sometimes labeled as “herbal” or “nutritional supplements,” promise longer, stronger erections and more fulfilling orgasms, but they might have some hazardous negative effects for the unwary customer. Here’s everything you need to know about being healthy while still having fun with your sex life.
Consult with your doctor.
If you’re having trouble attaining or keeping an erection, it’s possible that you have a physical problem that’s preventing your body from responding normally. Erectile dysfunction is caused by a variety of factors, heart disease and diabetes. Before trying any over-the-counter remedies, make sure to discuss them with your doctor.
Serious side effects from over-the-counter male enhancement drugs include:
Damage to the urethra (tube that lets out urine and semen)
Permanent difficulty maintaining an erection.
Permanent problems with urination.
Penis “fractures” (a rupture of the tissue in the penis) causing bleeding and requiring surgery.
Dangerous drops in blood pressure.
Some over-the-counter medicines may contain components that are similar to those found in prescription drugs such as Viagra or Cialis, which can cause a dangerous reduction in blood pressure in men who are taking medication for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a few other conditions. Never presume that these items will interact safely with your medications.
Male enhancement pills are not always controlled by government authorities such as the Food and Drug Authority (FDA), and they may not be submitted to the same quality testing as prescription prescriptions. As a result, you can’t just read the box and trust the contents.
