Viagra Infertility Link Studied

04 June 2007 (Monday)

A new research project has come out saying that the use of the erectile dysfunction medication Viagra could have an affect on the way that the sperm of a man functions and this could also affect fertility. The researchers that hailed from the Queen's University Belfast said that men who use Viagra should be told off this potential side effect.

The lead researcher Dr. David Glenn explain that when sperm was exposed to the Viagra compound there was what he described as a ‘sustained enhancement of motility’, meaning that the sperm was more mobile and faster. On subsequent study the researchers noted that despite this enhanced motility, a premature ‘acrosome reaction’ was observed.  To put this into plain English, Acrosomes are the structures which cover sperm heads and which contain an array of different enzymes designed to assist the sperm in penetrating the outer membrane walls of the female egg. The fact that Viagra could make the acrosome reaction start early means that when the sperm reaches the oocyte they will be unable to fertilise the egg.

The research that was published in the medical journal named Fertility and Sterility is still at the early stages and is by no means conclusive but nevertheless is something that needs to be looked at further. Bear in mind that millions and millions of men all around the world have used the Viagra erectile dysfunction drug and as far as we know at Ukmedix News we have seen no reports that men who say they use the Viagra drug suffer from poor fertility. (In fact the opposite applies).

The researchers felt that younger men who are keen to have children should be made aware of this fact and therefore could possibly stop using Viagra as a recreational drug. Older men who use Viagra in order to sustain erections that are weak due to their age are unlikely to be trying to have children and therefore this problem should not worry them so much.

The Ukmedix News team will be endeavoring to find out more about this research and to let our readers know whether it can be substantiated or not.
