Enhancing Relationships – Renewing Love
An intimate smile, a lingering look – the start of a beautiful encounter. Two people looking for a happy, secure relationship. And fulfillment – of the sexual kind as well. But couples are not always able to enjoy this intimacy as fully as they would like.
Erectile dysfunction is often the reason why men stop enjoying sex and their partner’s pleasure diminishes too. Experts say that the number of sufferers is likely to increase in the future because impotence becomes more common with age.
Medical progress – to which researchers at Bayer have contributed in no small measure – now enables many men with erectile dysfunction to enjoy a satisfying sex life again. It can put back into relationships the intimacy that both the man and his partner long for. Things were different just a few years ago, although the condition had been identified a long time previously. Erectile dysfunction is defined as a persistent inability to achieve an erection or to maintain it for an adequate length of time. The definition was simple, but there was no simple, discreet treatment for the condition.
That’s history now. Today doctors can provide effective therapy for erectile dysfunction. One category of drugs – the PDE-5 inhibitors – has proved to be particularly useful. The medication is taken in tablet form and intervenes very specifically in the finely tuned metabolic processes that take place in the body during an erection.
