Sildenafil for your sweetheart

For many couples, valentine’s day can be stressful. It brings about all sorts of pressure such as finding the perfect card, ordering the ideal gift, planning a romantic night, and keeping within budget for the month. However, some men feel a different kind of pressure around Valentine’s Day – the pressure to perform in the bedroom.

We don’t mean a “greatest showman” style extravaganza complete with a unicycle – we’re talking about the pressure many blokes feel to satisfy their partner in bed as the ultimate romantic gesture. Whilst this might be easy for young Ricky down the road, loads of men across the country will likely feel anxious about not being able to maintain an erection. Many people facing this problem turn to Viagra for a solution.

We’ve looked into the topic, and our research shows some “firm” findings…

In 2018, Viagra peaked on Google in February, with a total of 34,920 searches in the UK. With the population of adult men in the country being around 25 Million in mid-2017, this works out on average at one in every 715 men searching for Viagra for Valentine’s Day.

The top 5 regions searching for the little blue pill were as follows:

• Greater London: 24.2% of the searches
• West Midlands: 5.4%
• Greater Manchester: 4.4%
• West Yorkshire: 3.4%
• Hampshire: 2.1%

The remaining regions in the UK made up the rest of the search results.

Viagra vs Sildenafil

Viagra is the best-known brand worldwide for sildenafil, meaning they’re the exact same medication. Whilst you might not have heard of it, sildenafil is the active ingredient in Viagra and is available as a generic medicine on prescription. It probably won’t look like the famous blue diamond that we’ve come to associate with it, but it will certainly have the same effect.

The drug is used to treat erectile dysfunction and works by increasing the blood flow to the penis to allow a man to gain and maintain an erection. For it to work properly, you need to be sexually stimulated or aroused.

Despite the fact that many find it an embarrassing subject, erectile dysfunction is a common problem amongst men and can have many causes such as:

• Smoking
• Drugs
• Excessive drinking
• Side-effects of medications such as antidepressants
• Psychological factors
• Age
• Underlying conditions such as diabetes.

Where can I get Viagra/Sildenafil?

Viagra connect is available at most pharmacies, but this usually involves an awkward conversation with the pharmacist about the ins and outs of your erectile dysfunction. This can be especially embarrassing if your next-door neighbour Gladys pops in for her arthritis medication.

Luckily, both Viagra and generic sildenafil are available to buy online from reputable pharmacies. Doctor4U is one of these websites, which will connect you with a prescribing doctor. Should your request for the medication be approved following a patient questionnaire, your treatment will be sent from a fully UK regulated pharmacy.
