She argues that using ED medication merely masks the symptom without treating its root causes, likening it to applying a Band‑Aid over a pus‑filled wound. Over time, she notes, the pills can lose effectiveness, requiring higher doses, which further underscores the danger of relying on them as a long‑term solution.

It may keep the pus in there, but it's not the solution for it. Because over time, men that take ED medication, it stops working, or you have to go up on the dose.
