A male enhancer is a drug or device that improves a man's sexual prowess. A male enhancement product primarily is used to increase penis size. In addition to supplements and vitamins, men use pumps, creams and ties that are marketed to men looking for assistance in the bedroom.
Benefits
For men who are self-conscious about their penis size or who experience performance anxiety, male enhancers, including prescription drugs such as Viagra and Cialis, can help them overcome the emotional triggers that interfere with satisfying sex.
Features
Consultants at Male Enhancement report there are so many products on the market that finding the right male enhancer can be daunting. They suggest men try a variety of products with various features to find the one that works best.
Options
Male Enhancement consultants report a growth in the availability of herbal male enhancement supplements. Common herbs used in male enhancement products include ginko biloba, maca root, yohimbe and ginseng root.
Considerations
The Food and Drug Administration does not regulate over-the-counter male enhancement supplements. Doctors at NetWellness report some supplements such as those that contain testosterone hormones can cause enlargement of the prostate gland and lead to prostate cancer.
Recalls
In June 2009, the FDA recalled six male enhancements drugs manufactured by Nature & Health Co. because the supplements contained ingredients found in prescription erectile dysfunction medication that should be monitored by a physician.
Warning
Doctors at NetWellness, an information source provided by three Ohio universities, report male enhancement drugs that are advertised as "miracle drugs" can cause serious side effects, including impotency.
