It enhances the nighttime erections.KEN BADER: From Connecticut comes this question from a 45-year-old male listener. "Does hernia scar tissue from an operation cause any type of blood flow dysfunction?" DR. GOLDSTEIN: No. From Connecticut, I can say to you emphatically, hernia scar tissue does not impair blood flow function. There are cases where people say having had a hernia leads to erection problems. There's very little reason for hernia to impact on erectile function in a negative way, but I would strongly encourage you to get tests, since you are young, and find out what the basis for the erection problem is. Again, if you have impotence and wish to get managed by Viagra that would be a good choice for you.KEN BADER: A 47-year-old listener from Michigan writes, "My wife has almost no sexual desire. She has had diabetes for 28 years and is on Prozac and Valium. What is the more likely cause of the sexual problem, the diabetes or the medications and what would be the best treatment?"DR. GOLDSTEIN: Boy, that's a great question and one day we will have all of the research on what causes female sexual dysfunction. At the present time where the research is a little scarce what my opinion would be in this case is that the diabetes is doing what it does in men. It's blocking blood vessels, injuring nerves and affecting tissues of the female genitals. Prozac, as it does in men, inhibits erectile function, would inhibit vaginal and clitoral function. In her, low desire may be reflective, possibly of diminished circulation to the vagina and/or clitoris during sexual activity. And we are now finding that Viagra can help in these cases. Now there's a caveat here. Viagra is not FDA-approved for the treatment of female sexual dysfunction at the present time. We are prescribing Viagra at Boston University for such women under controlled environment and controlled circumstances to assess the effect. Hopefully, in a short period of time, Viagra will be assessed by a large drug company, like Pfizer for the safe and effective treatment of female sexual disorders such as your wife.KEN BADER: No shortage of questions tonight, Dr. Goldstein. This one comes from right here in Massachusetts, a 41-year-old male. He writes, "The day after I take Viagra I feel hung over. I have a headache and feel slightly sick." He asks, "Do the other drugs
