Strong drugs used carelessly? heart

Strong drugs are used by men to treat erectile dysfunction and usually also to increase vitality and energy during sex. This benefit is obtained thanks to the content of the sildenafil compound in it.

However, many men buy and consume strong drugs without knowing their content, dosage, and side effects, so they have the potential to trigger serious health problems including heart attacks. Especially if you use it carelessly and without a doctor's prescription, it will have a fatal impact on health.

What is strong medicine?

Strong male drugs such as sildenafil contain a compound cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is an enzyme protein whose function is to regulate blood vessel circulation. These compounds can relax the muscles, so that the arteries in the penis widen and blood flows to the penis easily.

If you can't get an erection, it is affected by blood flow that is not smooth, making it difficult for the arteries to expand. Meanwhile, the process of erection requires dilated arteries so that blood can flow to the penis quickly. The blood will get stuck on corpora cavernosa (part of the penis), so that there is an erection.

Of course an increase in blood flow can occur if there is sexual arousal. This is what makes this drug suitable for people with erectile dysfunction.

The effect of using strong drugs carelessly

1. Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are heart disorders characterized by an abnormal beat or rhythm. Heartbeat can be too fast (tachycardia). The human heart usually beats at a steady and rhythmic rate. Any disturbance in the heart rate can cause failure to supply the amount of blood flow that the body needs.

2. Priapism

Priapism or priapism is a condition in men who experience longer erections even without physical or psychological stimulation, and often feel sick. The main symptom of priapism is an erection lasting more than 4 hours in the absence of sexual stimulation or attraction. This happens when the blood in the penis is trapped and unable to flow. Even if left untreated it can lead to permanent erectile dysfunction.

In addition, there are also additional symptoms that are divided into two main types, namely ischemic and non-ischemic priapism. Symptoms include:

Ischemic priapism. In this type of priapism, the shaft of the penis feels stiff, but has a soft tip, accompanied by a gradually increasing pain in the penis. Especially in people with abnormal red blood cells (sickle cell anemia), ischemic priapism can recur. Priapism is characterized by the appearance of repeated erections that are painful, sudden, and of usually shorter duration. The frequency of attacks can increase in frequency and duration of each time they recur.
Non-ischemic priapism. Priapism of this type is accompanied by a physical condition in the form of a penis shaft that is not too stiff and does not hurt.

3. Genital amputation

Taking strong drugs carelessly or excessively, of course, will have an impact on your penis, which will expand or erect excessively, even for days. This condition is called inflammation. This was experienced by a man from Colombia.

This man had an erection for several days and was in pain. Medics from the hospital where the man was being treated said the man's penis was inflamed, swollen and showing signs of gangrene. In an effort to stop gangrene from spreading to other parts of the body, doctors recommended amputation.

4. Can cause death

The use of strong drugs clearly cannot be arbitrary. Especially if you buy freely on the side of the road without a doctor's prescription. This powerful male drug turns out to be potentially fatal for those of you who experience heart disease and hypertension, if you also consume several types of cardiovascular drugs, so their use must be closely monitored by the treating doctor.

There have been several cases of patients with heart and blood vessel disorders who could die suddenly as a result of cardiac drug interactions with this powerful drug.
