The main purpose of Viagra tablets is the treatment of erectile dysfunction, but this is not all that they are capable of. Today we will look at 10 more little-known effects of Viagra or facts about it, which you might not even have guessed about.
10. Impact on cancer cells
Scientists from the United States found that the components of Viagra can positively affect a cancerous tumor, reducing its size. In addition, tablets are also useful in the use of cancer drugs: the latter, fighting the disease, negatively affect the functioning of the cardiovascular system, and Viagra helps smooth out their harmful effects.
9. Improving heart function
It has always been believed that taking Viagra is harmful to the heart, so people with a weak cardiovascular system were not recommended to take pills, but recent tests in this area have cast doubt on this statement. It was found that with congestive heart failure (when the heart does not pump blood well), dosing Viagra will only benefit. As a result, the subjects showed a significant improvement in the heartbeat and the disappearance of breathing problems that occur with such a disease.
8. Increase in animal population
Oddly enough, but pills to increase potency in men can also help animals. For example, pandas. These lazy creatures by nature in nature reserves and zoos are even more lazy, and now they are not eager to mate. If you believe the scientists, then Viagra really helps them! With her, they are much more active in sexual terms, increasing their own population.
7. Solving problems in marriage
This effect stems from the main purpose of the pill - the treatment of sexual problems. A group of volunteers from 35 men who had some kind of marriage problems was gathered at Cairo University. Already after the first pill, 32 patients stated that their problems were not problems at all. Viagra helped them to gain (and someone to return) self-confidence, which had a positive effect on family relationships.
6. Improving sports performance
It’s worth mentioning right away that Viagra, according to the official rules of most sports, is doping. If such a drug is found in the athlete’s blood on a test, then it can be suspended from participation in competitions, deprived of the title, disqualified, etc. However, many non-professional athletes “indulge” in this, especially for bodybuilders. Firstly, by taking Viagra, they try to compensate for the harm to the potency that they cause with steroids, and secondly, it accelerates the penetration of anabolics into the muscles, from which their growth begins.
5. Treatment of female infertility
The fact that this medicine positively affects the reproductive function of men is a well-known fact, but scientists have recently found a similar effect on the problem of infertility in women. The usual use of pills will not give effect, but if you use them vaginally - is another matter. In this case, the blood flow to the uterine mucosa increases, which is why the chances of survival in a fertilized egg increase significantly. Unfortunately, there were some side effects: the subjects experience itching, redness, irritation, etc. However, for the sake of successful conception, millions of women are ready to suffer temporary inconvenience.
4. Saving premature babies
The very idea of giving Viagra to children, especially newborns, seems completely absurd, but if you believe the pediatricians from Australia where this experiment was conducted, the first impression is misleading. Nitric oxide contained in the product is added there to increase erection, but it can also stimulate the growth of a premature newborn. Children who were given Viagra recovered and were discharged from the hospital 4 times faster than those who were treated with more traditional methods.
3. Fertilizer for plants
Yes, everything is really so: Viagra is liked not only by people and pandas, but also by plants. On palm trees, for example, 1.5 times more bananas grow if you fertilize them with a "dose". At the same time, they have enough of a mere trifle: only 2% of the standard dose of an adult man is enough for one tree.
2. Anti-terrorism properties
Another fact that at first glance seems like complete nonsense, but there are also confirmations to it. They were provided by the CIA press service, talking about their struggle against the Taliban. In order to find out the necessary information from them (routes for the supply of weapons or the location of warehouses, dates of operations, etc.), the security services supplied them with everything that they only asked. Usually it was medicines, medical help or money, but some asked for ... Viagra. Having several wives, men there simply must always be in full combat readiness, but due to stress and not the most healthy lifestyle, they are not always capable of this, therefore they need doping. In exchange for it, they provided the necessary information, thanks to which many lives of civilians were saved.
1. Salvation of endangered species
Pills alone are not able to save rare animals, but the extinction rate of some slowed significantly with their appearance. Previously, when Viagra did not yet exist, doctors tried to help men by other means, getting some components from the bones of tigers or deer horns. This greatly reduced their population and if it continued in the same vein, the picture today would be even sadder. And so, the demand for fangs of Bengal tigers and other exotic ingredients fell, so they began to exterminate these animals less actively.
