What Is the Problem With Viagra?
Unfortunately, the use of Viagra has been linked to an increased risk of developing melanoma – the deadliest known form of skin cancer. In 2014, the JAMA Internal Medicine Journal reported a case study of some 26,000 men and found that for those who had used Viagra at some point in their lives, there was double the likelihood that those people would contract malignant melanoma skin cancer, and for those still using Viagra at the time of the study, there was an 84% increased risk of developing melanoma as compared to men who had never used Viagra.
