Viagra can help with circulation disorders at any age
Usually, when we think of young men taking Viagra, we imagine that they’re guys who don’t really need the medication for erectile dysfunction — they’re just looking for a performance boost in the bedroom.
Now imagine if you heard a young man was taking Viagra every day. What would you think then?
Well, if we’ve learned anything in the online pharmacy business over the past few years, it’s that appearances can be deceiving. And in the case of a professional baseball player named Brian Bocock, they definitely are.
Here’s Brian’s story:
Bocock … had a circulation disorder last June that caused three fingers to turn blue and forced him to miss the rest of the season.
“The doctors had me on baby aspirin, anti-inflammatories, blood thinners, and, well “… Viagra,” Bocock said.
Bocock said he took a low dosage, only 25 milligrams, but had to take it every day.
That made a trip to the pharmacy quite interesting: “I’d clean the place out. A few times, I took all they had.”
The primary indication of Viagra is treatment of erectile dysfunction, and it is now standard treatment for erectile dysfunction in all settings, including diabetes. In addition to erectile dysfunction, Viagra is also effective in treating pulmonary arterial hypertension. For treatment of this disease, it relaxes the arterial wall, leading to decreased pressure on the arteries.

I think a safer option is Vacuum Therapy.
About 43% of men with erectile dysfuction over 50 chose to use a vacuum therapy. Many choose to vacuum therapy because they take blood pressure medications or nitrates, which can be contraindicated with the leading PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis, etc.). Others chose vacuum therapy because oral medications are ineffective after prostate surgery, because the nerves ending to the prostate are in a state of shock or injury. Some people use erection pumps in conjunction with oral medications because vacuum pumps get an erection regardless of arousal.
Many men choose vacuum erection devices because of its high success rate. Oral medication is effective 60-70% of the time when there is no nerve damage present. Pellet suppositories are successful 50% of the time. Penis injections are successful 75% of the time, but they can be painful and it’s difficult to determine dosage levels. Vacuum therapy on the other hand, has a success rate of over 90%.
