How long can Sildenafil tablets prolong the duration?
Recently, work has been busy, my body feels fatigued, and my sexual activity with my wife has been brief. I heard that sildenafil can prolong duration— is that true? How much can it prolong it?
Doctor's answer (1)
Sildenafil is a medication used to treat male erectile dysfunction, and its duration of effect varies from person to person. Generally, the drug's effects begin to appear about 30 minutes after administration. The medication can prolong sexual activity by approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Additionally, some individuals may experience longer durations, potentially maintaining an erection for one to two hours.
However, this does not mean there will be a continuously rigid erection throughout this time. Sildenafil does not increase sexual desire or cause spontaneous erections; rather, it enhances the ability to achieve and maintain an erection only in the presence of sexual stimulation.
Sildenafil tablets are not suitable for everyone, and long-term or excessive use may lead to side effects and dependency, such as headache, facial flushing, and indigestion. In severe cases, it may even place additional strain on the heart. Therefore, the use of any medication, especially prescription drugs, should be done under the guidance of a physician.
