Suggest Remedy For Erectile Dysfunction
I had my aortic valve repaired very successfully. Then I developed constrictive pericarditis and had two surgeries to remove the pericardium, and may still have some residual constriction. This has resulted in a bit of ED. Would an ED med be okay under these circumstances?

Hello
Thanks for query .
You have undergone surgery for Aortic Valve replacement and subsequently-for removal of pericardium and now facing problem of ED.
It is but natural for one to face problem of ED after any major surgical procedure for few months after surgery till full recovery occurs .
You may consult your cardiologist to explore the efficacy and feasibility of taking Sildenafil (Viagra) to achieve hard erection to have enjoyable sex .
