I have a tight frenulum with a very thin piece of skin attached to the tip of my penis at the bottom.

I'm familiar with the Vigora tablet and what it's for, but I've never tried the Vigora jelly. Can you tell me how it works and how I should use it? When's the best time to take it before having sex, and what's the right way to use it?

Vigora jelly is used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It contains sildenafil citrate, which helps increase blood flow to the penis. To use it, you can squeeze the contents of one sachet onto a spoon and swallow it approximately 15-30 minutes before sexual activity. It is recommended to take it on an empty stomach for best results. The effects can last for up to 4-6 hours. Remember to not take more than one sachet in a 24-hour period.
