How long can sildenafil take to cure

Sildenafil cannot cure diseases and is mainly used to improve symptoms of erectile dysfunction. The action time of sildenafil is usually 4-6 hours, and the specific effect is affected by individual differences, dosage, drug interactions, and other factors. It is recommended to use medication in a standardized manner under the guidance of a doctor and avoid adjusting the medication plan on your own. Sildenafil is a phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor that helps improve erectile function by increasing penile blood flow, but cannot cure the cause of erectile dysfunction. The drug needs to work under sexual stimulation, and common adverse reactions include headache, facial flushing, indigestion, etc. Patients with cardiovascular diseases and those taking nitrate drugs are prohibited from using it. Erectile dysfunction may be caused by psychological factors, vascular disease, nerve damage, endocrine disorders, or drug side effects. Long term improvement needs to be targeted at the etiology, such as psychological counseling, control of diabetes and hypertension, and adjustment of drug use. Combining a healthy lifestyle, including quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and a balanced diet, can help with overall functional recovery.

During the use of sildenafil, high-fat diet and alcohol intake should be avoided to prevent affecting the efficacy of the medication. If there are serious reactions such as sustained erection for more than 4 hours, abnormal vision and hearing after medication, seek medical attention immediately. Regular follow-up to evaluate the progression of the condition, and if necessary, other treatment methods such as vacuum negative pressure devices and penile prosthesis implantation can be combined.
