What erection problems (erectile dysfunction) can Levitra (vardenafil) help?

Men who suffer with erection problems (erectile dysfunction), also called impotence, have an ongoing problem with getting or keeping a hard enough erection to have sex to their satisfaction. The erection problem results in the man being unable to penetrate their partner or keep their erection to allow enjoyable sex.
How many men suffer with erection problems (erectile dysfunction)?

Most men, at some point in their lives, suffer with the occasional erection problem often associated with stress, tiredness or drinking too much alcohol. However it is estimated that at least one in ten men suffer with frequent and long-standing erection problems (erectile dysfunction). That means there are well over 2 million men in the UK who suffer with erection problems. The problem becomes more frequent in older men. It is probable that around 20 % of men between 50 and 54 years and 50 % of men between 70 and 74 years have erection problems.

It is estimated that only 10% of men who suffer with frequent and long-standing erection problems (erectile dysfunction) actually seek medical assistance. This is remarkable since effective treatments are available for many men that can really help.


What are the causes of erection problems (erectile dysfunction)?

Erection problems or erectile dysfunction is caused by both psychological and physical factors. It is thought that in 75% of cases there is a physical factor involved.
Psychological factors that contribute to or cause erection problems or erectile dysfunction include; stress and anxiety from work or home, conflicts and dissatisfaction with the partner, depression, unresolved sexual orientation. Men with erection problems often suffer from the fear of failure. Men who have suffered from erection problems in the past worry about their performance, and this removes the pleasure of feeling sexually excited. This in itself contributes to their erection problems.

Physical factors that contribute to or cause erection problems or erectile dysfunction include; diabetes, low blood flow to the penis or too much leakage of blood from the penis, penile nerve damage, hormone imbalance, alcohol and drug abuse including heavy smoking, high cholesterol and stroke


Treatment of erection problems (erectile dysfunction)
Since there are many possible causes of erection problems, treatments can vary a great deal.
Sexual therapy can be of great help for men with erection problems with a predominantly psychological cause. Often medicines are used in association with such therapy.

If a physical cause is the main problem, such as a hormonal imbalance addressing this can remove the erection problems. In some cases surgery can ensure normal blood flow is restored. Treatment of depression can remove erection problems caused by this.

In many cases medicines will be prescribed by a patient’s doctor to directly assist the body to create and maintain a good erection. These medicines can either be injected into the penis (E.g. Caverject (alprostadil), inserted into the eye of the penis (E.g. MUSE (alprostadil)) or taken as a tablet by mouth (E.g. Cialis (tadalafil), Levitra (vardenafil), Viagra (sildenafil) and Uprima (apomorphine).

Vacuum pumps are another option to help men with erection problems get a good erection.


How does Levitra (vardenafil) work?

Levitra (vardenafil) belongs to a group of medicines called “PDE5 inhibitors”. It is a round shaped orange tablet, which is swallowed and available in three strengths - 5mg, 10mg and 20mg. For Levitra to be effective, sexual stimulation is required and so Levitra will not create an erection unless a man engages in sexually exciting activity.

Levitra (vardenafil) works by helping the blood vessels to the penis to let more blood flow. This helps to create and keep an erection. This increased blood flow is achieved by relaxing the blood vessels that supply blood to the penis.

The amount of time Levitra (vardenafil) takes to work varies from person to person, but on average it takes between 25 minutes to one hour although some men will achieve an erection within 15 minutes. Within a 5 hour period after taking the tablet an erection should occur in response to sexual stimulation. The action of Levitra is not generally affected by eating before taking the treatment (except where the meal has a high fat content) or by drinking alcohol, so men can eat or drink as they would normally before taking Levitra.

Does Levitra (vardenafil) always work?

Levitra (vardenafil) may be able to help men with erection problems to get and keep an effective erection. It may provide improvements in both erection hardness and the ability to maintain your erection during sex.
In major clinical trials in men with erection problems, Levitra improved the quality of erections for a majority of men. A lot of men who took Levitra were satisfied the first time they tried it.


Levitra (vardenafil) side effects

When taken at the recommended dose, the possible side effects of Levitra (vardenafil) are usually mild and pass with time. The most common side effects are a headache and facial flushing.

Is Levitra (vardenafil) for everyone?

Levitra (vardenafil) is only for men.

Levitra (vardenafil) should only be taken if your doctor has prescribed it for you. This is because Levitra can be dangerous if you take it at the same time as certain other medicines including some that are used to treat chest pain (angina). Also men aged over 75 years and taking ritonavir, indinavir, ketoconazole or itraconazole (oral form) should not take Levitra.

In addition, men with cardiac disease of a severity where sex is inadvisable, unstable angina or angina occurring during sexual intercourse, low blood pressure or men who have had a recent stroke or heart attack should not take Levitra.

For these reasons you should always see your doctor if you think you could benefit from Levitra (vardenafil).
