Risk Factors Increasing the Likelihood of Viagra-Induced Leg Swelling

Pre-existing heart or kidney conditions significantly raise your risk. Fluid retention is more likely with these issues, increasing the chance of swelling.

Age is a factor; older men tend to experience more fluid retention, making them more susceptible.

Certain medications, especially diuretics, interact with Viagra, potentially affecting fluid balance and leading to swelling. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking.

Underlying vascular diseases can impair blood flow, contributing to fluid buildup in the legs.

High blood pressure, whether controlled or uncontrolled, elevates the risk of leg swelling when taking Viagra. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is crucial.

A high-sodium diet exacerbates fluid retention; reducing sodium intake can mitigate this risk.

Prolonged periods of inactivity or immobility hinder proper circulation, increasing susceptibility to swelling.

Overdosing on Viagra significantly increases the likelihood of side effects, including leg swelling. Always adhere to prescribed dosages.

Underlying liver conditions can also affect how your body processes Viagra, increasing the risk of side effects, including swelling.
