Preventing Colorectal Cancer using Viagra

Who would’ve thought that the drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, the little blue pill used to improve their bedroom performance and impress their partner, Viagra (Sildenafil) can prevent Colorectal Cancer from developing and spreading all over your body? Honestly, I found it quite surprising myself too. All my life, I have known Viagra to be a performance-enhancing pill—and that alone, until recently, research has been conducted that says Viagra, can prevent Colorectal Cancer.

 

Colorectal Cancer ranks 3rd on the list of common cancers, with a whopping 1 million noted cases globally. Although recently the cases of death from this cancer have lowered down by improving the diagnosis, as well as the known treatments namely chemotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy. The survival rate after 5 years is still lower than 60%.

 

And for this reason alone, researchers needed to come up with an alternative to prevent this cancer from Escalating.

 

What is Colorectal Cancer?

 

Before we dig deeper into finding out how a Viagra can help you with Colorectal Cancer, let us first discuss what colorectal cancer is. It can also go by the name of Rectal Cancer or Colon Cancer—depending on which part cancer originated. 

 

If you're wondering why Rectal and Colon Cancer is not grouped separately, the answer is that both colon and rectal cancer have similar features, hence the name Colorectal Cancer. 

 

Features such as Polyps in the colon or rectum. Polyps are the lumpy growths, growing in the lining of your colon, or rectum. Most of the time Colorectal Cancer start out as little lumps but having polyps does not really mean you definitely have cancer, however, over time the Polyp may grow and turn into cancer. 

 

There are two types of Polyps, the Cancerous, also called Adenomatous Polyps, this polyp is also referred to as a precancerous condition. The other is called the Inflammatory  Polyp (Hyperplastic Polyp) which is more common than the Adenomatous Polyp but is not cancerous. 

 

As time goes on, the Adenomatous Polyps will keep on growing on the walls of our rectum or colon. This means precancerous polyps will be growing into your lymph vessels and blood vessels and will eventually travel to its neighbouring lymph nodes. And depending on which layer of the walls of your rectum lining or colon lining the Adenomatous Polyps are growing, will the stage of the cancer be determined.

 

What Does it Have to do with Viagra? 

 

Who would've thought Colorectal Cancer and Viagra, a drug used to treat Erectile Dysfunction and is sometimes used to enhance your bedroom performance, would be seen in a single sentence? However, research conducted last February 2018 by the Journal Cancer Prevention Research, show that Sildenafil, known as Viagra by many, can help lower the risk for the colorectal cancer risk down. 

 

Here are some of the benefits you’ll get in using Viagra if your have Colorectal Cancer:

 

• Viagra Holds In Unwanted Cell Growth Down

 

The research was first carried out with the researchers putting small doses of viagra into the drinking water of the mice with Polyps. With these low doses of the erectile dysfunction drug (Viagra), administered to the mice every day, the polyps that were forming inside the mice's inner lining were cut into half. 

 

What does this mean? This means both Adenomatous Polyp and Inflammatory Polyp can be cut into half. Holding down the rapid growth of the unwanted cell growth inside your colon or rectum lining. 

 

• Viagra Slows the Growth of Polyps Down

 

One of the infamous traits of cancer cells is its ability to multiply rapidly. Plus, your daily intake of Carcinogens (cancer-causing substance) from the food and drinks you're taking, the speed of the cancer cells that are spreading in your body should no longer surprise you.

 

Giving yourself a dose of Viagra can help lessen the rapid growth of these Polyps (Cancerous or Not) by cutting them into a half, as well as slowing the polyp growth down. According to the studies conducted, the polyp growth starts to decrease 24 hours after taking your first dose of Viagra.

 

Current research shows that Polyps may revert or grow back if your Viagra intake is stopped. This is because the lining in your body gets changed every 5 days. The effect the Viagra will show after 5 days, after the replacement of your rectal or colon lining. And another thing, Viagra cannot affect Polyps that are very large and are already cancerous; however, it is very useful to prevent Cancer from happening. 

 

Researches and clinical studies are still being conducted with the goal of getting solid evidence and results. Determining how many recommended doses of Viagra can kill young Polyps as well as the prevention of rectal or colon cancer. So far, this study has been conducted to the animals and not on people, but that’s what the researchers are currently working on.  

 

Side Effects of Viagra Use

 

Just because Viagra can prevent polyps from growing in the lining of your colon or rectum doesn’t mean you are excused from the side effects it currently has—NO. One of the major side effects that may already know of is the erection and the increased libido. These side effects may become your boon or bane— Depending on how hot or cold your sex life is. After-all Viagra was initially made to treat Erectile Dysfunction. 

 

Here are the minor side effects of the Viagra use:

 

• Flushing
• Headache
• Upset Stomach
• Dizziness
• Pain in the Back
• Muscle Pains
• Nausea
• Runny Nose
• Rash

 

Final Thoughts 

 

Although researchers are starting to see the light from the horizon with this research, further research needs to be conducted to make this official. As of now, Viagra has positive side effects not only to people who want to boost their libido, and their sexual performance, or to those who have Erectile Dysfunction but also to those who may have Colorectal Cancer.
