PEYRONIES DISEASE AND ERECTILE
DYSFUNCTION DRUGS - IS THERE A LINK?
HAVE I FOUND THE SMOKING GUN?
BACKGROUND - It is estimated that more than
30 million men in the United States suffer from
erectile dysfunction (ED). In one survey, it was
reported that more than 1/2 of men ages forty to
seventy suffered from ED. Clinical trials showed
that 74% of patients taking Viagra reported an
improvement in their erections as compared to
16% of men taking a placebo. Therefore, it is no
surprise that the introduction of Viagra (sildenafil
citrate) in April 1988 was a phenomenal success.
By the first week of May 1998, more than 300,000
prescriptions were written and U.S. Sales were
more than $400 million during its first quarter of
introduction. Men could not get enough of the
drug. In the first 18 months of marketing, more
than 15.6 million prescriptions were written.
Refills accounted for more than one-half of the
prescriptions filled. Its success was not limited
to men in the U.S. Japan approved the drug in
six months, the fastest approval on record. Prior
to government approval in China, it was reported
that men were paying more than 10 times the
government approved retail price in order to
obtain Viagra on the black market.
Viagra was followed by Levitra and Cialis, but all
three drugs work using the same chemical
process. Combined sales of these drugs are in
the billions of dollars. Researchers are looking
for even more drugs to improve the sex life of
both men and woman.

Can some readers please help me out?
In writing about the link between ED
drugs and penile scar
tissue/Peyronies, I assumed that most
readers would welcome some
background information on penile
anatomy and how ED drugs work
before discussing the medical findings
linking ED drugs and Peyronies. When
reviewing my readership reports, I am
noticing that more than a few readers
are in fact reading the penile anatomy
and ED drug pages, but then exiting the
site before going on the to the next
page which contains the most
important information, i.e., the medical
findings linking the two. Why? Is there
too much information to hold reader
interest or is there something else I am
missing?
