Why Doesn’t Viagra Work for Me?

Viagra is one of the most common medications for men with erectile dysfunction. ED causes reduction in sexual sensation, enjoyment and performance, which makes it difficult to get or sustain an erection.

Viagra is commonly prescribed for this issue, but sometimes it just doesn’t work.

“Why Doesn’t Viagra Work for Me?”

Let’s look at some potential reasons why Viagra fails to work effectively for many men:

Low Testosterone

Any time Viagra does not work as expected, low testosterone (low T) should be one of the first things investigated. Testosterone is the principal male sex hormone and plays a key role in sexual health. As men age, their testosterone naturally declines, often to dangerously low levels, so it's important to get tested if you are noticing the symptoms of Low T.

Circulatory Issues

An erection depends upon appropriate blood flow to the genitals. Exercise and weight loss can improve circulation and blood pressure. In serious cases, it may be necessary to evaluate cardiac health in order to ensure you get the appropriate treatment.

Performance Anxiety

Any man can feel concern about his sexual performance, especially when his partner is important to him. Anxiety around sex produces occasional symptoms similar to erectile dysfunction. If it persists, however, the man may become convinced there is a severe problem, thus feeding the cycle.

Environmental Issues

Even when you are “in the mood,” there are specific times when sex is not always the best idea. For example, if you have recently consumed alcohol or had a heavy meal, you might find it is difficult to sustain an erection. These temporary issues are normal.

How to Treat Erectile Dysfunction without Drugs

The best alternative to Viagra is one that works effectively with your body’s systems. At the biostation, we offer a wide variety of Viagra alternatives proven to be effective in many cases when conventional medication may have failed you.

ICI Therapy

In ICI Therapy, a powerful concentration of three to four FDA-approved medications is introduced to the genitals. The rest of the body is not exposed to the medications, so the man enjoys an immediate increase in blood flow lasting up to 90 minutes without health, dietary or medical restrictions.

PRP Therapy

In Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy, a patient’s blood is drawn and then spun in a centrifuge to separate the plasma, which contains powerful growth factors. The enriched plasma is then re-introduced to the body, which accelerates the growth of healthier, younger tissue, promotes the development of new blood vessels, improves blood flow, increases sensitivity and can even improve penis girth.

Hormone Therapy

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is recommended in situations where a man’s hormone levels have fallen too low or too quickly. It's important to get tested by an experienced Functional Medicine doctor who can recommend a holistic treatment plan that will help optimize hormone levels to a healthy state, which often completely eliminates any sexual symptoms.
