Erectile dysfunction is currently one of the biggest threats to a man’s sexual health. If erectile dysfunction was considered an infectious disease, it would be classified as a pandemic. However, it surprising that this isn’t discussed considering just how damaging it can be. Think about it for a second. We see all this raising of awareness for women’s issues but you never see anything for men. Have you ever asked yourself why that is? In this post, I want to briefly discuss the history of erectile dysfunction and what you can use to treat it.
Erectile problems have been an issue for men since before the 1600s. Back then having it was actually considered a crime in France. The country considered you inability to procreate a crime against nature. Your wife was legally allowed to divorce you if you couldn’t perform in bed and rightfully so. The frequency of erectile dysfunction was rare back then. Roughly 5% to 10% of men would suffer from impotence.
Today, that rate has ballooned to a staggering 70% among men that are aged 50 and older. Men that are younger than 50 years of age aren’t any better off with a 40% chance of getting it. In terms of numbers over seven million men around the world will have a run in with erectile dysfunction by the end of this year. That number is estimated to increase by 5% next year.
This has to make you think. What happened between the 16th century and now!? We have all these miracles of modern medicine that have cured diseases, made terminal ones treatable, and yet we seemed to have let impotence fall through the cracks. Yes, there are treatments for erectile dysfunction but there are no cures. Men today can either prevent or treat, there is no in between. This is where Cialis comes in. Men living in Australia have been using this medication in both treatment and prevention.
Cialis was originally designed to treat the symptoms of impotence and allow men to resume their sex lives. However, it turns out that men that haven’t been diagnosed with erectile problems have been using the medication to outright prevent the issue. Sports celebrities have confessed to using Cialis as a daily supplement to improve their sexual health and physical performance. Studies have shown that a daily 20-milligram dose of Cialis actually equates to a shot of testosterone. In addition to that, the medication has also shown to protect the arteries of the heart, regulate blood pressure, and circulation.
Now before you jump the gun. You should realize that Cialis is only available through a prescription. That means that you will have to speak with your doctor and ask him if he recommends the use of Cialis. If you are a man that wants to use the medication as a method of prevention, then let your physician know. Most medical professionals are well aware of the additional benefits of Cialis and will more than likely prescribe it to you if they know you will benefit from it. So don’t wait. Talk to your doctor today and see if Cialis is the right thing for you.
