Cialis, a medication containing tadalafil, primarily treats erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing blood flow to the penis. This allows for firmer, longer-lasting erections sufficient for sexual activity. The effects typically last up to 36 hours, significantly longer than other ED medications.
Beyond Erectile Dysfunction: Cialis’s Other Applications
Beyond ED, Cialis also treats benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a condition causing an enlarged prostate gland. This enlargement can lead to urinary problems like frequent urination, weak stream, and difficulty starting urination. Cialis helps relax the muscles in the prostate and bladder, easing these symptoms. Note that Cialis is not a cure for either ED or BPH, but a treatment to manage symptoms.
Always consult your doctor before taking Cialis. They can assess your medical history and determine if Cialis is safe and appropriate for you. Discuss any existing health conditions, medications you are taking (including over-the-counter drugs and supplements), and potential side effects. Your doctor will help you understand the risks and benefits, ensuring a safe and effective treatment plan.
