Misconceptions and Viagra

First, Viagra is not an aphrodisiac. In other words, it cannot cause an erection in the absence of actual sexual desire and stimulation. Also, Viagra is not a cure for erectile dysfunction but rather a treatment for a symptom; eliminating a symptom is not the same thing as treating the underlying cause, whether physical or psychological.

And while there have been countless jokes about one of Viagra’s potential side effects—an erection that can last four hours or more—doctors say that is no laughing matter. While such long-lasting erections are rare, they can be painful and can cause permanent damage to blood vessels and tissue. Fortunately, in most cases, a simple ice pack will make the swelling go down.
