Today while reading the Eve Magazine in the Saturday Standard I read an article by Maggie Gitu, answering some guy who has been using Viagra thinking he is sorting out his Premature Ejaculation issue.
My attention was drawn to a condition which she says could be caused by constant use of Viagra…called PRIAPISM…where the penis erects for like 4-5 hours without stimulation, a very scary condition as described by the foto on the wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapism . During my previous life that I narrated here, many times I was tempted to try viagra for the fun of it, and also derive maximum value for my money, but I knew it would land me into trouble with lanyes coz of that “umekawia sana hebu ongeza pesa” plus one of my buddies who once used it told me alikuwa anasikia mwili yote ni kama iko erect, some tension of sorts, mara ni kama anaumwa na kichwa. Add the fact that some guys have died while erect through high blood pressure (Sani Abacha, Mutula Kilonzo, a former Band Leader maybe Them Mushrooms etc )…but some day I could just try it, when I get married maybe.
Villagers, ever tried this drug? What are the chances of getting Priapism? What are your experiences?
Sure those are some of the side effects of sildenafil/ viagra-(headaches/migraines, palpitations, difficulty in breathing etc) especially when taken in high doses. Bt also you should know viagra is a drug used by patients with chronic heart failure so sio ya erection dysfunctions pekee. About priapism, its a condition that can arise secondary to several other factors.
Before you head in that direction, ask yourself this: what are you treating (typically we only take drugs to treat a disease or condition)? Ukimaliza, research on how priapism is treated.
From the little medical knowledge I have gathered, Viagra doesn’t cause an erection, it only enhances one after a third factor has caused it. In fact it is meant to help people with weak erection rather than premature ejaculation, the issue of high blood pressure is false, on the contrary it lowers blood pressure.
