Prostate surgery is no longer such a threat

A significant proportion of men find they can no longer get or maintain strong erection. Sex becomes a good memory. One of the rather more unfortunate side effects of surgery to remove a growth in the prostate, is the phenomenon politely called erectile dysfunction.

Except that some clever people in Canada have been trying out Levitra in a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial. The present system calls for one of the PDE5 inhibitors to be given every night at a low dose. This tested the response of men taking Levitra at the standard dose whenever they felt like attempting sexual intercourse. The results clearly show a higher success rate than taking the drug every night. The study involved some 423 participants in 87 hospitals in Europe, the U.S., Canada and South Africa over a period of some two-and-a-half years. So the main issue of this news story is that even if a guy with a knife cuts chunks off your manhood, Levitra can still bring life back to the old dog (or young dog if you were unlucky enough to have prostate cancer as a younger man).
