A post by Blanche Scharf http://www.yourhealthupdates.com I have been studying natural healing modalities for the last 25 years. In that time I have had the privilege of working with some of the greatest minds in Natural Healing including Naturopaths, Scientists, and Energy Healers. I have seen people miraculously heal from all kinds of dis-ease thru non-invasive methods. Personally, I have experienced all kinds of diets from Macrobiotics to Raw Foods. Now is a very important time to start sharing this health information with as many people as possible, so people can make well informed decisions about their health and not fall victim to a sickcare system based on profit, rather than one of supporting wholeness, compassion and love To see more posts by Blanche Scharf, click here |
Viagra may cause hearing loss. Research by a University of Alabama at Birmington (UBA) professor shows an association between hearing loss and the use of the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra.
Research Studies
The research found a potential for long-term hearing loss following the use of Viagra and possibly following use of other phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitions (PDE-5i) drugs such as Cialis and Levitra.
In 2007, following several case studies potentially linking PDE-5i use and sudden hearing loss, the Food and Drug Administrated announced labeling changes for PDE-5i medications so that the risk of hearing problems was more prominently displayed, McGwin said this is the first epidemiological study to evaluate the relationship between PDE-5i drugs and long-term hearing loss.
The data on 11,525 men over 40 years of age gathered by the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, a survey conducted by the federal agency for Healthcare Research and Quality between 2003 and 2006. Men who reported use of PDE-5i medications were twice as likely to also report hearing loss as men who had not used the drugs.
You Can Say
You can say that Viagra is not for everyone. The growing evidence suggests it’s not for anyone. At least 38 men have gone blind after taking Viagra. Drug companies already warn consumers that Viagra and competitors like Levtira and Cialis have several other side effects, like blurred vision, headaches, indigestion, and painful erections that last four hours or more.
Viagra can decrease blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye, causing sudden vision loss. This has occurred in a limited number of people, most of whom had heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or pre-existing eye conditions. Also, people who smoke or are over 50 years old experienced these problems.
Need it now
Millions of men need it now, thanks to our lifestyles. There is a connection that links impotency to health status. There are multiple conditions that cause erectile dysfunction. One is hardening of the arteries, which causes a reduced blood flow to different parts of the body.
Medication especially for high blood pressure is many times the pill behind the pill. The drugs for high blood pressure are known to cause impotency.
Recognizing the cause is a step in the right direction. One little blue pill is not for all, and there is growing concern that it can change more than a chance to perform.
The special effect that you want may be more than you want. Viagra may have a similar effect on similar tissue in the ear, where an increase in blood flow could potentially cause damage that can lead to a hearing loss. It is necessary to question the use of Viagra, since the largely irreversible hearing loss will impact the quality of life.
