Dr. Li Mingchuan
Men with erectile dysfunction may require treatment with medications such as Viagra (sildenafil). If the erectile dysfunction is caused by psychological factors, Viagra can be used for treatment. Viagra significantly increases the level of guanylate cyclase in the smooth muscle of the corpora cavernosa, reducing intracellular calcium influx in the smooth muscle cells, thereby promoting penile erection and engorgement. If the erectile dysfunction results from excessive masturbation, the patient should first quit this habit and then use medications such as Liuwei Dihuang Pills for treatment.
