Viagra may mess with your boys' heads
For guys who have hopes of starting a family some day, steering clear of Viagra and other erectile dysfunction medication may be a wise idea.According to a study out of Queens University in Belfast, Ireland, taking even the recommended dosage of PDE-inhibiting drugs (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, etc.) can cause damage to sperm heads, thereby preventing penetration of the female egg. However, it is important to note that these findings came from a test-tube study, not from a study on the effects of PDE drugs on sperm inside the human body. To this point, researchers caution that lab results often do not reflect what happens in the human body, and sperm in particular is known to be highly sensitive when removed from its natural environment.
Nevertheless, it still may be worth seeking out other treatment options for dealing with ED. Consult a urologist for alternatives to PDE inhibitors.
