Do you know what Crohn’s disease is? It is a chronic inflammatory disorder that causes ulcerations in the small and large intestines. This happens when the body tissues are attacked by its own immune system. Recently a study published in The Lancet says that Crohn’s disease is caused by a weak immune response and Viagra can be of help in this condition.

A group of researchers in the University College London, UK found out a new reason behind the inflammation in Crohn’s. They tested inflammatory response to bacteria by injecting harmless Escherichia Coli under the skin to measure local inflammatory and blood flow changes. Their investigation showed that the Crohn’s patients had very low blood flow producing lower quantities of neutrophils and inflammatory mediators. The problem with low blood flow, they suggest, can be treated with Sildenafil Citrate. According to Anthony Segal, the main researcher, in Crohn's disease, a constitutionally weak immune response predisposes to accumulation of intestinal contents that breach the mucosal barrier of the bowel wall, causing granuloma formation and chronic inflammation.

An increased blood flow may increase the immune response in the body and help in treating the Crohn’s disease. The diamond shaped blue pill Viagra, with its main ingredient Sildenafil Citrate, till today, was well known for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. Later, we knew that Viagra can be a good treatment for enlarged heart condition. There are a lot of diseases associated with blood flow and nitric oxide in human body. Viagra has sensed the need to have a control over human body fluid and have been able to control it when required.

Viagra is a PDE5 inhibitor that inhibits the reduction of enzyme guanylate cyclase which is responsible for the penile erection. This is because the relaxed penile muscles induce increased blood flow to the corpus cavernosum and engorge the penile section with blood resulting in a firm and hardened penis. With Viagra, it becomes easy to attain and sustain a penile erection.

The amazing fact about Viagra is, the compound was studied initially as a treatment of heart related diseases. It was by chance found very affective in improving the penis erectile functions. This mechanism of Sildenafil Citrate did what no other drug could do. It addressed the problem of mail impotence for the first time and proved that it is like any other physical condition which can be treated with medications.

Slowly researchers from the different corners of the world have found out the potentials of the wonder drug. It can protect the heart from the damages of heart attack and stroke; it has been prescribed for the rare heart conditions, recommended for women with diabetes and even for stimulating brain function. Now the latest being Crohn’s disease, Sildenafil seems to be a magic pill created by Pfizer for the purpose of healing the human ailments. God bless Viagra and Viagra maker; long live the blessed human race!
