A recent study has found that servicemen have to use Viagra due to the stress of military life. The drug helped more than 1,000 soldiers, sailors, and airmen to perform well in bed.
Some sources blame grueling tours and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for affecting their sex lives.
“Tough operations and exercises take their toll — so it’s no surprise some of the chaps need help in the bedroom,” said one serviceman. “It is obviously good for morale and performance if they are given the help they need.”
The study found that in 2019, Viagra was to 518 Army men, 275 Navy personnel, and 239 RAF personnel. And of those, 230 were officers.
The number of Viagra prescriptions increased by 7 percent in the last three years.
Doctors at the Ministry of Defence (MoD) started referring servicemen to psychological therapists because most of them complained that they faced some difficulties in bed, which were caused by PTSD or trauma.
“The health and wellbeing of our personnel is of the utmost importance,” said the MoD.
Viagra contains sildenafil, a drug that has been found effective at treating erectile dysfunction (ED), a condition in which men fail to attain or sustain an erection.
Meanwhile, one study has exhibited the trends and market dynamics of the ED Drugs in major countries, including the US, the UK, China, Germany, Brazil, Japan, Spain, Russia, France, Australia, Italy, India and the rest of the world.
The ED global market report includes the study of the current issues with consumers and future opportunities for the market.
Apart from Viagra, other ED drugs available in the United States are Cialis (tadalafil), Levitra (vardenafil), and Stendra (avanafil). These drugs belong to the same class of pharmacological agents called PDE5 inhibitors, which improve blood flow to the penile organ for an erection to occur on sexual stimulation.
