If you have never had Cialis (Tadalafil), don't bombard your body with 10mg-20mg of Cialis. Take as low as 2-3mg daily. After taking it for a few week or until you feel some side effect, stop taking it for a week to let the side effect subside. Then come back on the routine of 2-3mg daily. Repeat the cycling on/off for 2-3 times, until you don't feel any side effect for a whole week. Then you are pretty much safe to take is long term. For daily intake, it is recommended to keep the dosage under 5mg. By the way ,there is one VERY IMPORTANT thing is, DO NOT eat GRAPEFRUITS, since it would prolong the half life of the medication and enhance the side effects. It would be much better if you cut or reduce orange and lemon, too. Lime is OK.
My urologist gave 5mg daily to start. Minimal side effects, worked the first morning urination. The only problematic side effect was morning wood but that mostly subsided after about a week.
Im glad you said that, i was going to take some just so my partner and i can go all night like we used to years ago, problem is she loves swallowing uhmm milk? and in order to make the stuff smell and taste a little better i usually load up on fruits like citrus pineapple grapefruits etc etc. that would have been super embarrasing.
I'm 54, I found out that I have pulmonary hypertension, my doctor prescribed me Tadallfil, I take 2, 20mg pills daily. Now I feel like I am 20 yrs old again. I love it, and so do the women..
Please delete this comment, someone might read it and kill themselves . Guys don’t take 20mg twice a day without medical supervision . It’s very high dose and 20mg alone will take nearly 3 days to leave your system . Don’t listen to this guy
At 54 years old, I regained my strength after undergoing triple coronary bypass surgery in 2015. In 2018 I consulted my cardiologist and urologist who told me about the benefits of tadalafil for the prostate (despite having no problems) and for my heart, so in 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to give it a chance. Today my wife and I celebrate my 5 mg daily dose. On weekends I celebrate with wine or whiskey with no side issues. Tadalafil is wonderful!
@@sethstriker I think I’m the rule, not the exception. There are many health benefits of Tadalifil (Cialis) like lowering blood pressure, increase blood flow for work outs at the gym and of course in the bed room, relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs to allow blood to flow more easily and so many more!. But since I am not a doctor, I recommend that you consult yours. Regards.
Do you know it's not polite to talk about women's weight? So if she is light, then she's not worth much gold. Then if she is heavy, then she is worth a lot of gold. So what you are saying is you don't know what she is worth in gold, since you do not know how much she weighs, but if she weighs a lot, then she's worth more in gold. You can see how this goes on and on, and how that is not a subject to talk about because in your case it is ambiguous because you cannot define the gold weight, and in any case it is rude. You can appreciate a video in a different way than to associate it with someone's weight and value in terms other than gold. I can appreciate where you are coming from, but wanted to enlighten you so you won't be saying that anymore. It's not cool. A simple thank you will suffice. Thank you.
Rena: This was an outstanding, obviously high speed, presentation of the pertinent facts on Viagra and Cialis. I only wish that EVERY urologist is prepared to either present this information the same or show your video to patients when the need arises. As a veterinary pathologist, I appreciate that you really drilled down to the actual mechanism of erection, ejaculation, study results, and specific actions and side effects of each drug. Keep going for the gold. I subscribed immediately! - Jim
Doc, thank you for another great video on a topic that many men don't want to talk about. You explain it in plain English so it is easily understood. Thank you for your help
This is really helpful (and normalizing). After radiation treatment for prostate cancer, although the clinicians I met provided excellent support and information ahead of time; still it was a wake-up call to gradually experience a loss of libido and functioning over a few years. As some of you might know - it's something that became normal at age 14-15 but now it is no longer the case. To put It bluntly, it's a bit shocking to have this be the 'new normal'. So, thanks for the info and the honest discussion. It helped me open a conversation with my doctor. So, my doc is aware and tuned in. And I am... better equipped.
Hi and hello, What are the best solutions to help improve your blood flow and erection. Is it medication like ciales or vigras , or is there natural solution?
Hello, I don't take either one of these medications, however I was very impressed with your excellent presentation. It was very thoughtful very thorough and I appreciate it very much as I was interested in in what type of response people would have to have been taken something for erictile dysfunction. Thank you very much.
Wholey Bat shite. As a 60 year old that sometimes needs a bit of "assistance" particularly with a new partner for all the human issues that arise (anxiety etc) , that was just absurdly AWESOME in your explanation and I have NEVER heard it so well explained in my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Darren from Australia
As a EMT, please use these medications as instructed by your Dr. If you need them, cool, just dont try to take extremely large doses. I have seen a pt try to get really ready for a date night by taking 3 of his 100 mg pills. It dropped his blood pressure to a dangerous level. No he had not taken Nitro. He was ok in the end, but it could have led to a really dangerous situation. So take the meds as prescribed please.
Hello. I have problem of ED from last three months. I have also problem of tinnitis and slightly hearing loss. My doctor prescribed me Sildenafil but i feel hesitate to take it because of it's side effects on hearing. Can anybody help me in this regard. Please!!!!!!
Reading many of the comments and am left with a thought that just how amazing it is that our society has been able to function given our vast differences.
What vast differences are you referring to? In many cases, our strength is our differences. Your comment is so ambiguous that it isn't clear what you are talking about. Why would we have a problem functioning as a society because of ED medications? It might be a large personal issue, but certainly not one of society's function, whatever that meant. Maybe you're the one that's vastly different.
@@floridaredneck I think the gentelman was saying that it is good to see so many people getting on in like cause regarding the input that this video created.
@@davidnorwich3771 That's a nice thought, I think, but it doesn't explain our "vast differences" and what those have to do with ED solutions and us functioning as a society. With or without the ED topic, the comment itself has no meaning. The author is amazed our society functions with our differences. Your interpretation does not clarity that, because "differences" are not explained, so we don't know why they are "amazed" that society functions, which is why I asked what they were talking about. It is possible they were simply rambling and didn't have an actual point, which would not be uncommon in a comment forum.
Great video! My doctor prescribed 5 MG of tadalafil per day to combat my BPH problems. I've been on it for about 4 years and it has worked great! Much better urine flow and I usually only get up once a night to urinate as versus 6 to 9 times before I started the treatment.
I have been on Tadalifil for over one year. My prescription allows up to 4 5mg tablets daily! I am 78 years old with BPH and have had TURP surgery 2 years ago! My response to this drug (taking 1 tablet twice daily) has been amazing. I wish I could speak to the sexual aspects with corroborated corroboration from my wife of 57 years but it takes two to tango! Nonetheless I do have significantly more blood flow to my nether regions as exhibited by mornings like I was 1/2 my age! Firm erections with two pills daily are very sufficient for that result! But the biggest differences I have experienced are: 1) improvement in BPH (as indicated in the video) 2) more importantly my long term memory has definitely improved and 3) my balance is as good as it was 30+ years ago 4) during cardio workouts I have much better blood flow to heart and lungs (as a result of this and loss of body weight I have been taken of metropolol for the 1st time since my quintuple bypass surgery 21 years ago (my LAD was 100% blocked); The previous effects are priceless! The other thing I believe, based on a European study of Viagra, it is reported that long time users of that drug have virtually a 70% less chance of developing Dementia! I have to believe this same benefit would translate to Cialis!
Quite amazing post, and I'm 69 in good shape but lately my erections are not solid and firm like before. I wonder if this would work for me ? as it did for you. You would have to think it would help with jogging and aerobic exercises as well as weightlifting. Can I ask you ? what is BPH ? I would think something to do with blood pressure ? Can you run a quick post and let me know ? ? -- thanks :)
It's amazing how much chemistry and effort goes into something most guys just take for granted. I had no idea to all that was going on beneath the surface. Thanks for the enlightenment Dr.
I'm 64 and don't have any underlying health problems at all except a slight ED. Don't take any medication apart from the below. I take 50 mg of sildenafil and the effect last for 12-15 hours for me. The only side effect I get is a little flushing. Being slightly over weight I don't mind.
Have really enjoyed your articles. Little strange hearing a woman talking about men problems? I'm VERY Very old fashioned. But after a bit, along with your easy going attitude it seems maybe better hearing from a girl. A man's world after all, is very important and interesting to a woman and they of all people would care about us poor boys out there! lol. ED is like the whole other side of your life dying and has been so terrible. Half of you is dead? It's very overwhelming and fearful. My ED problem I'm hoping to solve by your videos and going to a doctor now. I wish so much return to the time when I could make my wife of 47 years return to being under my arms, but her spirit be above bouncing around, to and fro on the ceiling and walls again like she use to. So thank you again for what you do! Say a prayer for me.
Went to doctor,s with little problem ,, below waistline ,,, he directly prescribed, Sildenafil ,,, Wow ,,, what a difference a little blue or white tablet can make ,, been using them since 2012 BRILLIANT...
Thank you Rena for that very helpful information. My doctor just started me on Sudenifil, but it was embarrassing having to admit my ED symptoms to her, let alone ask her further about side effects of this medication.
DON"T be EMBARRASSED about anything you need to talk to your female doctor about. She has seen and heard it all! I am a straight, heterosexual man married to the my straight, heterosexual female wife for over 45 years after pursuing her for five years. I will be 72 years old in a few days. When I moved to to my current location five years ago I looked specifically for female doctors in the areas I need. Why? Based on my past history women doctors seem to be more open to answering questions I have than male doctors. And there is NOTHING SPECIAL about my body or any condition that they haven't seen before in their practice, i.e., other male patients. I have talked about several " intimate" items with my general/family physician, my dermatologist and my urologist. I have ED (and take 20 mg Tadalafil, effective for more than 36 hours for me and no side effects), I have urinary incontinence for which I take two medications which don't work 100% of the time so I wear a CVS Men,s Shield (cheaper than Depends and works just as well) every day. Most of the time I dispose it unused, but then there are those other days. I am obese, have varicose veins, have sebaceous adenoma all over my body, and do not look as handsome as I was when I got married (most of time *I* don't like to look at my naked body in the mirror after a shower). So I have a female general/family physician doctor, a female kidney doctor, a female gastroenterologist, a female ophthalmologist, and a female urologist although she is a PA-C which is a Physician Assistant with certification from a national organization and she works under a male M.D. urologist but I only saw him once. There is no female dermatologist where I live so I have a male dermatologist and my female dentist is retiring real soon so I will be changing to a highly recommended (by her and an orthodontist I know) male dentist. Again: DON"T be EMBARRASSED about anything you need to talk to your female doctor about. She has seen and heard it all!
Anthony how do you determine you have ED. Let say out of 10 times your sex didn't well as expected 5 times will you call it ED or you call it average and it is below that ?
@Anthony Sais I'm kicking myself for not asking my doctor sooner. Just out of stupid embarrassment. She didnt even flinch when I asked her. She just prescribed me right away!
Thanks for all the detailed information you have provided in this video. I like your way of explaining every point. Keep sharing such great videos in the future also.
Was prescribed tadalafil after IRE (the “NanoKnife”) treatment of Gleason 7 score for prostate cancer. I’m 90 days out now…no incontinence or ED…and found that the medication improved my urinary function markedly. For a 74 year old guy, that’s a nice win. My wife, of 52 years of marriage, probably finds my attentions rather annoying by now. Interesting problem to have, suddenly.
Wel done info! I’m going to try it. Been a medic/ff for a long time taught ACLS & PALs. And you do a great job explaining this at a level most non medical people can grasp . I’m 55 and noticed changes in possible b. P. H. Healthy otherwise. ✅
Ditto, most helpful info and presentation. I’m 73 years old and I have ED challenges. After your info I’ll ask My Dr to prescribe cialis/ tadalafil. Pardon miss spell.
I've tried both recreationally. Viagra doesn't do much for me. Cialis works great. Side effects are harder with Viagra. Headache and backache. Viagra seems to give you one big bang. Cialis seems to give you staying power multiple times for a couple hours.
You're about right. Sildenafil is like a punch, tadalafil is like a big push for a longer time. Side effects are noticeable with sildenafil, but not with tadalafil. Plus, with the latter, I screwed last night and I'm ready to go again today and will be till tomorrow.
My doctor prescribed me sildenafil 50mg. I split it in half and took 25mg. Worked like a charm. I don’t have psychical ED but probably anxiety/performance is causing it. I asked my doctor what are the chances of priapism and he said 2% but I don’t think he really knew and gave out an answer. Is it really 2% that high?
I am only 40 and started to have ED at around 38. Urologist got me on both but i am still struggling- ugh. I am on high blood pressure med and i think thats whats started the whole thing.
I had high BP later than you, but I stopped some bad shit. I drank and smoked and didn't eat very well. I stopped the first 2 and stopped eating garbage. I lost 50 pounds (I'm 160 now - see photo) and got off of both Lisinopril and Amlodipine which I took every day. I didn't even care much about sex. But that was then, and I was in the gym today for 2.5 hours; something unthinkable before. Took 20mg of tadalafil, but I'm over 60 and got laid tonight. Getting off the BP meds helped a lot; working out even more. Don't know your situation, but that's mine. I found the root cause of my BP and corrected it. Tadalafil took care of the rest. Good luck man.
I am a physicist who analyzed data professionally for 40 years. I have also done the statistics portion of a Health Data Science course at the Masters level. Rena is the second YoutTube doctor who expresses a bias towards Meta-Analysis, or combining multiple studies. I have mis-givings about this and I would recommend health professionals treat meta studies with caution and read them very carefully. 1. In theory increasing the number of samples is good. However, this is only valid if the sample populations are very close to identical. Combining studies, this is highly unlikely. So is not a strong argument in favor of meta-studies. 2. Review studies may put good and bad studies on an equal footing. This is very bad, especially as Drug company papers tend to be heavily biased in favor of the drug under study. A possible tactic would be to flood the literature with favorable, but poorly done studies in the hope that the bulk of evidence in a meta study will still favor the drugs. As an example, many well done meta-analysis in the last five years have found Statins have a number-need-to-treat (NTT) between 42 and 500. This basically means they have no benefit, yet statins are one of the most prescribed drugs and the most profitable drugs in history. This is my professional opinion as an expert in statistics and data analysis.
Wow watching your videos was very interesting, I love how you can talk about this subject without any embarrassment. I feel we all should be able to do this, yes it is a very private thing but we all have these urges and you being able to get on here and go over them is awesome. But now this raised a question, How happy is your husband? You as a dr, know way more then the average person, so you can get where this is going. Damn i am thinking i married the wrong woman. lol.
First I would like to thank you Rena for all your hard work into putting these incredible videos together. They are very insightful and very much appreciated. I do have a question though, I take Tadalafil usually 10 milligrams every two days. I also take Tamsulosin HCL for Prostatitis and I know it can effect my erections and ejaculation. But do I need to continue the Tamsulosin or would the Tadalafil ease the prostatitis? Any information would be very appreciated Rena. Thank you!
I was prescribed 5mg/day TADAlafil (you see what I did there) and told to give it a week to start working. On day 5, I woke up and was damn near scared to death at the thing staring at me. I don't recall having erections like that as a teenager, and I have not seen such pronounced veins on anyone other than the arms of athletes. I went from just growing to near erect size when aroused and probably unable to push it through the center of a glazed donut to sporting a chubby that could win an arm wrestling match. Oh, the joy of modern medicine!
@@adediranmuhydeen618that’s what they were designed for 🤦♂️ so, if you can’t get an erection, wtf are supposed to do then? You’re just some RANDOM guy posting here. I’ll follow REAL medical advice from professionals and NOT from a random comment on UA-cam..
I take half a 20mg Cialis twice a week. I find my mental clarity improves as well as urinating is more comfortable and freeflowing. I sleep more easily and have better exercise tolerance. Also hanging more on the slack makes me feel more confident. Cialis is a lipophilic substance so absorbs better with fatty food to stimulate bile secretion. Tadalafil lasts 36 hours - thing is after 4 hours, she's sore and the cat's nervous...
I split a 20 mg into 4 parts, so I kinda take 5 mg daily when I am sexually active. The effects kinda builds up after each day, so I kinda take a dose one day prior or at least half day before. Good shit
@@itanasumerian7379 well when it was prescribed to me originally, the doctor suggested so because it has a much longer half-life invivo. So it's more convenient to take when need is anticipated. Both Viagra and Cialis are PDE5 inhibitors, an enzyme that reduces NO stimulation of blood vessels to expand.
Responses vary with the individual, along with age and underlying conditions. For me 5 mg daily Cialis supplemented with vardenafil "as needed" does the trick.
I had the most unbearable pain in my legs when I took it. Ive never been diagnosed with restless legs but that's the best way i can describe it. I didn't hear you mention that with side effects. Is that normal... has anyone else had that reaction?
It all fell apart for me over the last couple of years. Now Im 50, over weight about 30-40 lbs, high BP, high Cholesterol, started TRT over 1 yr ago, have ED use Taladafil at times. I do work out lift weights and very strong but ive continued to decline in energy motivation every thing. Ive had untreated sleep apnea for a long time because I couldn’t do the mask thing. It finally got so bad I couldn’t stay awake during the day. I finally made myself use the CPAP and its been a life changer!! I sleep great feel great with lots of energy and i have erections at night all night long when i sleep! Everything is now getting better. I started Carnivore diet as well hoping to be meds free in 6 months.
I had a major spinal injury in 2001 after which I spent years in recovery for numerous conditions in addition to the burst fractures of the vertebrae. One of these was ED and I was prescribed both these medications and both had really bad side effects for me (Viagra was the worst), migraines and severe lower back pain. I was already suffering chronic pain in the lower back but these meds just made it so much worse. I had to stop taking them.
Thank you for this info. I found as I approached my 60's my erections were not at full capacity all the time. I am a retired athlete and this bothered me. I experimented with low doses of L-Arginine and that did the trick. At 1 to 2 hours before intimacy (NO alcohol) my erections were as strong as ever. After a couple of years I discovered I was born with bicuspid heart valves (now corrected), that was a contributing factor according to my surgeon. In my opinion pills are a good gap filler for a more serious psychological/physiological issue that 'must' be addressed. Do you agree? Thanks again, I love your information.
these substances only inhibit the reduction of NO in your body... but if your Testosterone is low, not enough NO is produced... therefore it is smarter to start trt... On top of that you could take these pills...
@@rz5b1qszkdf44 As I stated, my heart was reducing in it's efficiency and I didn't know it. Once this was discovered and surgically corrected, I no longer needed supplementation. My testosterone is normal now and on the high side for my age. Fitness and diet keep me at a peak performance. Thank you so much...
Citrulline may help too. Could try beet powder.It’s supposed to provide nitric oxide. I don’t much like the taste but if you mix it with juice, you can barely taste it.
I'm 75 yrs old, 'n have been taking Tadalafil 20mg tabs daily for 2 yrs now, it's a great 2-fold med, as I'd developed BPH when I was in my 40s, so they gave me an Alpha blocker for the urinary problem, but it's side effect was ED. Now that I've been on Tadalfil NO MORE PROBLEMS, as my sex-life improved dramatically. My last 2 GF's, one in her early 50s, 'n the other in her late 30s, said I was like a young man in bed. I also take an L-Arginine supplement cap every day to replenish Nitric Oxide.
Im 63 , I have BPH and OAB .So life changes , I am caffeine and alcohol free . This helps OAB . I was on finistrade to shrink my prostrate for about three years . But it affected me long term , now I take 5mg tadafil, 1mg toltradene and tamulsin . I have sleep 7 hours no night peeing . I have asthma and CPAP as well . Fortunately I am in the UK so drug costs don’t affect me .. also get an annual psa blood check
I first took Tadalafil at age forty and had side-effects of acid reflux, ankle swelling, and a small degree of high frequency hearing loss, all temporary. Returning to it over ten years later and I don't seem to get any side-effects at all. One additional piece of info: Tadalafil has a half-life of seventeen hours, so after the thirty-six hours of supposed effectiveness, you roughly have a quarter dose left in your body. I find a full 20mg dose effective for three days and most often just take half a tablet. The only thing it can't help with is completely spontaneous sex with an ongoing partner, which is a shame but I don't see any way around that.
@@hukssumi Short answer is no. It used to be prescribed as a daily dose of 5mg for pulmonary hypertension but is not used for that purpose these days. As an ED med it's prescribed at a higher dose (10mg+), to be taken as needed and a dose is effective for two to three days.
Great video. I am already taking tamulosin, with it's unfortunate side effect, as well as having ED. I'm going to ask my doc about daily Tadalafil and see if I can kill two birds with one stone. Your videos are great: direct and informative.
Rena: Dr., you incorrectly stated that "tadalafil can be taken on an empty stomach," when I am SURE you meant "on a full stomach." Please edit this video!
Very informative. You must be an excellent Dr, as ive watched a number of your videos and you explain things in a simple matter of fact way that anyone can understand.
Dr Malik, thanks for all your videos on ED problems witch i have. I'm 77 yrs old, high blood pressure and only take one med for it but want to get off meds. because of side affects, always tired through the day. I'm going to ask my Urologist to put me on Tadalafil instead of my other medication to lower my BP and hopping to fix my ED problem at the same time.
@Dear Naveen Sharma: You read my mind -- or -- I read your post. Exactly. The stress is multiplied by the devil's works of idle hands -- leading to overused organs. Repent! Save money, trouble, and *off-the-cliff health risks.*
Cialis daily made my condition worse long term. Got to the point where I was completely non-functional. Took me over 6 months of not taking it to recover. Still not great but I'm not going back on that again. You also forgot one side effect (at least of Cialis): it makes sexual activity not feel good. Miserable even. Developed hypertension several years AFTER I started having ED, so that didn't cause it. Nobody ever did any investigation into the cause; just repeated a memorized explanation that sounded like a textbook. Just assumed hypertension figured in, ignoring that it post-dated the problem. And I've been to a dozen doctors in 4 different states over about 15 years. NOW they say, "well, you're in your late 50s ..." but they don't listen when I say it started in my early 40s! My sense is they're all flying blind and repeating theoretical stuff they read, then writing prescriptions. For me, I think I need to know what's causing it because the assumptions they're making have no basis in my particular case. But I've pretty much given up by now.
@@bgoodorhell4u Way past that. One of the first things I did 15 years ago. It was somewhat low, and so was vitamin D. 6 months of supplements and it was a bit below the center of the normal range. Also, testosterone affects libido but not ability.
I have tried both of these treatments, and both make my heart race. It races so much it's scary. I would like to find a treatment that won't do that to me. Any suggestions, Dr. Malik?
If the world had more people like you, it would be a better place. You make a difference, Dr Ogie thank you for curing my Erectile dysfunction and introducing your medicine products to the worlds🎄

I'm a senior with reasonably controlled Diabetes and diminishing control over many years of having high blood pressure. I've been using the ED meds off and on as long as they've been available going back to before I had Diabetes and the hypertension was better controlled. My personal experience along with the experience of most other men I've discussed this with, is that Sildenafil is much more effective for ED. I'm surprised that most comments I've read here report opposite results. When I used Tadalafil for a couple of years I found it helpful, but it provided a significantly less vigorous erectile response than Sildenafil, and I never had much confidence in it on the 2nd day - and the extended period of effectiveness is really the entire point of using it (aside from the BHP issue Dr. Malik discussed). There were times when I felt the need to take 50mgs of Sildenafil to supplement the 36 hour Tadalafil I had taken the previous day when I anticipated sexual activity on that 2nd day. I am wondering if there is any significant risk to combining the 2 as I did during the last 12 hours of the 36 hour Tadalafil window? Btw, I never had any side effects from any ED medication other than some nasal congestion on some occasions, including the occasions when I combined the 2 meds.
Please do a review on levitra, I don't know why cialis and viagra doesn't work for after years of using them, but levitra works, I'm puzzled, just wondering if this is normal
Great information. I had MERSA in July 2022. It effected my central nervous system . I could not walk for 8 weeks. 6 months no erection. Urologist. Said give the body a year to heal. Still. Some action but not the strong action. I had. Your video. Gave me. Hope. Later.
On Dec. 11 a study was released showing that Viagra could be an effective treatment for Alzheimers disease. It was a small sample size but the results were impressive.
ok i like that u mention meta-analysis. more real doctor seeming than most fake DRs on YT, not that i’d ever come here for real medical advice. that would be super silly.
Nothing wrong with multiple people's advice. It's whether you take it or not that makes it silly. The information here can easily be confirmed or debunked. Most of us here have experience with the topic, specifically the medications described. Having personally experienced both, I can say with a great deal of confidence that the information given is as accurate as the facts that were repeated by other sources that are also accurate. As with most medicines, its action and reaction will be different for different persons, of which was also covered in the video. It is not silly to learn and investigate. It would be silly to act on advice without first having confirmed the validity of the information. Since I am keenly aware by decades of experience with these medications and use, the information is true and correct.
One side effect I noticed is aging quickly symptoms, if it was used by women they would noticed , but men do not care about aging they only care about the moment.
Thank you for your very clear explanations, Dr Malik. I wonder why after a year or two of occasional use of Cialis whithout problems, now same dosage will often cause ( excruating) stomach pain? Thank you in advance!
@@Femaqui07 benign prostatic hyperplasia … an increase of prostate size that is not dangerous but often uncomfortable . Cialis , in it’s 5 mg format , is , amongst other medicines , a possible solution . It helps me (I have BPH too) .
Well, Viagra didn't work for me, post prostate removal. My doctor told me there is an injection that works almost instantly. Did you do a video about that?
I use Cialis. When I take it, it makes me feel terrible. Red face,. weirdness. pressure. Headaches.... Nothing worse for a guy to take this stuff. "hoping" his wife will be in the mood, and she isn't. A MORE PART of enduring taking this stuff is a MERE PREDICTION of when your wife, or girlfriend is in the mood. I have suffered many nights hoping..when she wasn't in the mood. Amazing how a man will go through taking this shit...... just to be intimate with his woman. Even Rena speaks of the side effects. Nothing pisses me off more................ than taking this stuff, hoping to be with my wife, when she comes home and says no. Goes to sleep. I could say more............. but I won't.
Hey man, your job is to put her in the mood… be better at that and she’ll always be in the mood. The key is knowing what that is and you might have forgot. Good luck man!
Jim, communication is key with your wife. Be brave, and let her know you have problems with ED but that you still need to be intimate with her. Let her know what the side effects are and plan together when you both need to have some fun. Good luck my friend.
by the way for people that need those ,it can often be because of narcotics ,if you take heavy sleeping pills they affect testosterone so over a long period of time it'll make issue
@@Briansgate i said narcotic so mostly morphine codeine cyclobenzapryne and some anti depressant ,melatonine is very light compared to those and I do not know if it could affect it ,ask her for that info :)
Dr. MALIK, I really appreciate your videos and I have a question regarding ED. I am 65, type 2 diabetic, and have AFIB. I am on several medications some 8f which can effect my ability ti get an errection. I am prescribed SILDENAFIL 20mg. The SILDENAFIL only helps slightly. I have been getting ads recently regarding a devise tgat is supposed to help with blood flow and was wondering if you had an opinion regarding thus devices ability to help. It is called the Phoenix and is described as an electronic device that is supposed to stimulate blood flow. Do you think it works. And information would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Im 50 and I cleared my ed right up with zero medications. I married a 28 year old. It's a miracle
You,my man,are my hero
Ahoooooy.......
How???
@@user-qx4tz7vb1p my wife is a beautiful Greek lady, weighs 115. @ 5'4" and isn't crazy!!!! That's the how. Lol
I'm 61and with my 30 yr old partner for ten years, have to agree it certainly helps 😉
If you have never had Cialis (Tadalafil), don't bombard your body with 10mg-20mg of Cialis. Take as low as 2-3mg daily. After taking it for a few week or until you feel some side effect, stop taking it for a week to let the side effect subside. Then come back on the routine of 2-3mg daily. Repeat the cycling on/off for 2-3 times, until you don't feel any side effect for a whole week. Then you are pretty much safe to take is long term. For daily intake, it is recommended to keep the dosage under 5mg. By the way ,there is one VERY IMPORTANT thing is, DO NOT eat GRAPEFRUITS, since it would prolong the half life of the medication and enhance the side effects. It would be much better if you cut or reduce orange and lemon, too. Lime is OK.
My urologist gave 5mg daily to start. Minimal side effects, worked the first morning urination. The only problematic side effect was morning wood but that mostly subsided after about a week.
Im glad you said that, i was going to take some just so my partner and i can go all night like we used to years ago, problem is she loves swallowing uhmm milk? and in order to make the stuff smell and taste a little better i usually load up on fruits like citrus pineapple grapefruits etc etc. that would have been super embarrasing.
Cialis is the best. I took 20mg for a weekend and it last for 3 days. Actually 4 days Friday until Monday morning.😊
@@raymondstewart7660 Good job🎉
Exactly my advice too. Start small and build up not exceeding 5mg daily. If a day is inactive sex-wise, skip that day if needed.
I'm 54, I found out that I have pulmonary hypertension, my doctor prescribed me Tadallfil, I take 2, 20mg pills daily. Now I feel like I am 20 yrs old again. I love it, and so do the women..
Mr.Charlie, I just wanted to confirm that you taking two 2⃣ tablets of Cialis daily?

Doctor are you on Facebook
Please delete this comment, someone might read it and kill themselves . Guys don’t take 20mg twice a day without medical supervision . It’s very high dose and 20mg alone will take nearly 3 days to leave your system . Don’t listen to this guy
At 54 years old, I regained my strength after undergoing triple coronary bypass surgery in 2015. In 2018 I consulted my cardiologist and urologist who told me about the benefits of tadalafil for the prostate (despite having no problems) and for my heart, so in 2020, during the pandemic, I decided to give it a chance. Today my wife and I celebrate my 5 mg daily dose. On weekends I celebrate with wine or whiskey with no side issues. Tadalafil is wonderful!
What about 2.5 mg? Daily
@@gerardnicholson6318 I imagine it could work but better consult your doctor.
No shit?! Are you the rule or a one off as far as results go? What exactly are the health benefits? Thanks for sharing.
@@marapixel Always!
@@sethstriker I think I’m the rule, not the exception. There are many health benefits of Tadalifil (Cialis) like lowering blood pressure, increase blood flow for work outs at the gym and of course in the bed room, relaxing the blood vessels in the lungs to allow blood to flow more easily and so many more!.
But since I am not a doctor, I recommend that you consult yours. Regards.
For all men lucky enough to come across your videos, I thank you! You and your videos are worth your weight in gold!
Do you know it's not polite to talk about women's weight? So if she is light, then she's not worth much gold. Then if she is heavy, then she is worth a lot of gold. So what you are saying is you don't know what she is worth in gold, since you do not know how much she weighs, but if she weighs a lot, then she's worth more in gold. You can see how this goes on and on, and how that is not a subject to talk about because in your case it is ambiguous because you cannot define the gold weight, and in any case it is rude. You can appreciate a video in a different way than to associate it with someone's weight and value in terms other than gold. I can appreciate where you are coming from, but wanted to enlighten you so you won't be saying that anymore. It's not cool. A simple thank you will suffice. Thank you.

This was an outstanding, obviously high speed, presentation of the pertinent facts on Viagra and Cialis. I only wish that EVERY urologist is prepared to either present this information the same or show your video to patients when the need arises. As a veterinary pathologist, I appreciate that you really drilled down to the actual mechanism of erection, ejaculation, study results, and specific actions and side effects of each drug.
Keep going for the gold. I subscribed immediately! - Jim
Hello how you doing
You are great, and you break things down enough that us laymen can understand complex medical issues
Doc, thank you for another great video on a topic that many men don't want to talk about. You explain it in plain English so it is easily understood. Thank you for your help
This is really helpful (and normalizing). After radiation treatment for prostate cancer, although the clinicians I met provided excellent support and information ahead of time; still it was a wake-up call to gradually experience a loss of libido and functioning over a few years. As some of you might know - it's something that became normal at age 14-15 but now it is no longer the case. To put It bluntly, it's a bit shocking to have this be the 'new normal'. So, thanks for the info and the honest discussion. It helped me open a conversation with my doctor. So, my doc is aware and tuned in. And I am... better equipped.
Bro, when I finally admitted it to my wife I cried. Its like a part of you is gone Thankfully there is medication to help. Good luck.
Hi and hello, What are the best solutions to help improve your blood flow and erection. Is it medication like ciales or vigras , or is there natural solution?
Thanks Rena unlike a chat with a doctor we can revisit your talks and check your reccomendations
Hello, I don't take either one of these medications, however I was very impressed with your excellent presentation. It was very thoughtful very thorough and I appreciate it very much as I was interested in in what type of response people would have to have been taken something for erictile dysfunction.
Thank you very much.
Wholey Bat shite. As a 60 year old that sometimes needs a bit of "assistance" particularly with a new partner for all the human issues that arise (anxiety etc) , that was just absurdly AWESOME in your explanation and I have NEVER heard it so well explained in my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Darren from Australia
As a EMT, please use these medications as instructed by your Dr. If you need them, cool, just dont try to take extremely large doses. I have seen a pt try to get really ready for a date night by taking 3 of his 100 mg pills. It dropped his blood pressure to a dangerous level. No he had not taken Nitro. He was ok in the end, but it could have led to a really dangerous situation. So take the meds as prescribed please.
Thanks mom!
3 100mg pills is outrageous. He deserved whatever was coming to him.
Yikes 😬
Hello. I have problem of ED from last three months. I have also problem of tinnitis and slightly hearing loss. My doctor prescribed me Sildenafil but i feel hesitate to take it because of it's side effects on hearing. Can anybody help me in this regard. Please!!!!!!

Reading many of the comments and am left with a thought that just how amazing it is that our society has been able to function given our vast differences.
What vast differences are you referring to? In many cases, our strength is our differences. Your comment is so ambiguous that it isn't clear what you are talking about. Why would we have a problem functioning as a society because of ED medications? It might be a large personal issue, but certainly not one of society's function, whatever that meant. Maybe you're the one that's vastly different.
@@floridaredneck I think the gentelman was saying that it is good to see so many people getting on in like cause regarding the input that this video created.
@@davidnorwich3771 That's a nice thought, I think, but it doesn't explain our "vast differences" and what those have to do with ED solutions and us functioning as a society. With or without the ED topic, the comment itself has no meaning. The author is amazed our society functions with our differences. Your interpretation does not clarity that, because "differences" are not explained, so we don't know why they are "amazed" that society functions, which is why I asked what they were talking about. It is possible they were simply rambling and didn't have an actual point, which would not be uncommon in a comment forum.
@@floridaredneck😄 Ever heard the saying? "You would cause a fight in an empty house."
Great video! My doctor prescribed 5 MG of tadalafil per day to combat my BPH problems. I've been on it for about 4 years and it has worked great! Much better urine flow and I usually only get up once a night to urinate as versus 6 to 9 times before I started the treatment.
Take upper pressure and water pills
I Take Medication for high blood pressure & water pill
I take one tablet and i get a stiff neck. 🙁
Moi Aussi👍
How old are you
I have been on Tadalifil for over one year. My prescription allows up to 4 5mg tablets daily! I am 78 years old with BPH and have had TURP surgery 2 years ago!
My response to this drug (taking 1 tablet twice daily) has been amazing. I wish I could speak to the sexual aspects with corroborated corroboration from my wife of 57 years but it takes two to tango! Nonetheless I do have significantly more blood flow to my nether regions as exhibited by mornings like I was 1/2 my age! Firm erections with two pills daily are very sufficient for that result!
But the biggest differences I have experienced are:
1) improvement in BPH (as indicated in the video)
2) more importantly my long term memory has definitely improved and
3) my balance is as good as it was 30+ years ago
4) during cardio workouts I have much better blood flow to heart and lungs (as a result of this and loss of body weight I have been taken of metropolol for the 1st time since my quintuple bypass surgery 21 years ago (my LAD was 100% blocked);
The previous effects are priceless!
The other thing I believe, based on a European study of Viagra, it is reported that long time users of that drug have virtually a 70% less chance of developing Dementia! I have to believe this same benefit would translate to Cialis!
Quite amazing post, and I'm 69 in good shape but lately my erections are
not solid and firm like before. I wonder if this would work for me ? as it
did for you. You would have to think it would help with jogging and aerobic
exercises as well as weightlifting. Can I ask you ? what is BPH ? I would
think something to do with blood pressure ? Can you run a quick post and
let me know ? ? -- thanks :)
It's amazing how much chemistry and effort goes into something most guys just take for granted. I had no idea to all that was going on beneath the surface. Thanks for the enlightenment Dr.
Believe me, we dont take them for granted. We are eternally grateful.

I'm 64 and don't have any underlying health problems at all except a slight ED. Don't take any medication apart from the below. I take 50 mg of sildenafil and the effect last for 12-15 hours for me. The only side effect I get is a little flushing. Being slightly over weight I don't mind.
There are very efficient natural ways to resolve and cure ED for good. Such as genital massages called Karsai Nei Tsang.
Do you ever get a chance prolong erection which is priapism i scare alot. 😢 is it ok startını dose 25 mg ?
Have really enjoyed your articles. Little strange hearing a woman talking about men problems? I'm VERY Very old fashioned. But after a bit, along with your easy going attitude it seems maybe better hearing from a girl. A man's world after all, is very important and interesting to a woman and they of all people would care about us poor boys out there! lol. ED is like the whole other side of your life dying and has been so terrible. Half of you is dead? It's very overwhelming and fearful. My ED problem I'm hoping to solve by your videos and going to a doctor now. I wish so much return to the time when I could make my wife of 47 years return to being under my arms, but her spirit be above bouncing around, to and fro on the ceiling and walls again like she use to. So thank you again for what you do! Say a prayer for me.
Went to doctor,s with little problem ,, below waistline ,,, he directly prescribed, Sildenafil ,,, Wow ,,, what a difference a little blue or white tablet can make ,, been using them since 2012 BRILLIANT...
Hey, do you still buy this stuff?
Dr. Malik, your videos are very informative, no non sense, and you are beautiful.
Thank you Rena for that very helpful information. My doctor just started me on Sudenifil, but it was embarrassing having to admit my ED symptoms to her, let alone ask her further about side effects of this medication.
What's embarrassing about ED? It's a normal experience particularly after a certain age.
DON"T be EMBARRASSED about anything you need to talk to your female doctor about. She has seen and heard it all! I am a straight, heterosexual man married to the my straight, heterosexual female wife for over 45 years after pursuing her for five years. I will be 72 years old in a few days. When I moved to to my current location five years ago I looked specifically for female doctors in the areas I need. Why? Based on my past history women doctors seem to be more open to answering questions I have than male doctors. And there is NOTHING SPECIAL about my body or any condition that they haven't seen before in their practice, i.e., other male patients. I have talked about several " intimate" items with my general/family physician, my dermatologist and my urologist. I have ED (and take 20 mg Tadalafil, effective for more than 36 hours for me and no side effects), I have urinary incontinence for which I take two medications which don't work 100% of the time so I wear a CVS Men,s Shield (cheaper than Depends and works just as well) every day. Most of the time I dispose it unused, but then there are those other days. I am obese, have varicose veins, have sebaceous adenoma all over my body, and do not look as handsome as I was when I got married (most of time *I* don't like to look at my naked body in the mirror after a shower). So I have a female general/family physician doctor, a female kidney doctor, a female gastroenterologist, a female ophthalmologist, and a female urologist although she is a PA-C which is a Physician Assistant with certification from a national organization and she works under a male M.D. urologist but I only saw him once. There is no female dermatologist where I live so I have a male dermatologist and my female dentist is retiring real soon so I will be changing to a highly recommended (by her and an orthodontist I know) male dentist. Again: DON"T be EMBARRASSED about anything you need to talk to your female doctor about. She has seen and heard it all!
Anthony how do you determine you have ED. Let say out of 10 times your sex didn't well as expected 5 times will you call it ED or you call it average and it is below that ?
@@pauls4742 well said.more men need to open up and talk about it.its nature happens to most of us
@Anthony Sais I'm kicking myself for not asking my doctor sooner. Just out of stupid embarrassment. She didnt even flinch when I asked her. She just prescribed me right away!
Very educational. Thank you. You are saving relationships and mens mental health.
The presentations on this channel are exemplary. Thanks Dr. Malik.
She knows how to make a short story long!
Thanks for all the detailed information you have provided in this video. I like your way of explaining every point. Keep sharing such great videos in the future also.
Was prescribed tadalafil after IRE (the “NanoKnife”) treatment of Gleason 7 score for prostate cancer. I’m 90 days out now…no incontinence or ED…and found that the medication improved my urinary function markedly. For a 74 year old guy, that’s a nice win. My wife, of 52 years of marriage, probably finds my attentions rather annoying by now. Interesting problem to have, suddenly.
Thank you for a great and informative video. I liked hearing the comparison of the two.
I have taken Tadalicil for over 2 years. It has helped my BPH more than Flomax.

Hello how are you doing
Ditto, most helpful info and presentation. I’m 73 years old and I have ED challenges. After your info I’ll ask My Dr to prescribe cialis/ tadalafil. Pardon miss spell.
I do scrotal tugs once a week for 3 hours ... and my ED was fixed within 5 months. at 59 ... its amazing.
3 hours!!
funniest thing I have seen in 6 months. Thank you.
More than 5 minutes is playing with it
So you pulled on your balls for 60 hours?
Scrotal tugs. 😂
I've tried both recreationally. Viagra doesn't do much for me. Cialis works great. Side effects are harder with Viagra. Headache and backache. Viagra seems to give you one big bang. Cialis seems to give you staying power multiple times for a couple hours.
You're about right. Sildenafil is like a punch, tadalafil is like a big push for a longer time. Side effects are noticeable with sildenafil, but not with tadalafil. Plus, with the latter, I screwed last night and I'm ready to go again today and will be till tomorrow.
My doctor prescribed me sildenafil 50mg. I split it in half and took 25mg. Worked like a charm. I don’t have psychical ED but probably anxiety/performance is causing it. I asked my doctor what are the chances of priapism and he said 2% but I don’t think he really knew and gave out an answer. Is it really 2% that high?
Its 1%
I am glad you compared the two medications 'head to head'. The only way!
Thank you for infoation of tadalafil, I want you to know that I appreciate your videos, lots of love 💕 ❤
I appreciate how very articulate and clear and knowlefable you are- and more- you're great!
I am only 40 and started to have ED at around 38. Urologist got me on both but i am still struggling- ugh. I am on high blood pressure med and i think thats whats started the whole thing.
I had high BP later than you, but I stopped some bad shit. I drank and smoked and didn't eat very well. I stopped the first 2 and stopped eating garbage. I lost 50 pounds (I'm 160 now - see photo) and got off of both Lisinopril and Amlodipine which I took every day. I didn't even care much about sex. But that was then, and I was in the gym today for 2.5 hours; something unthinkable before. Took 20mg of tadalafil, but I'm over 60 and got laid tonight. Getting off the BP meds helped a lot; working out even more. Don't know your situation, but that's mine. I found the root cause of my BP and corrected it. Tadalafil took care of the rest. Good luck man.
I am a physicist who analyzed data professionally for 40 years. I have also done the statistics portion of a Health Data Science course at the Masters level. Rena is the second YoutTube doctor who expresses a bias towards Meta-Analysis, or combining multiple studies. I have mis-givings about this and I would recommend health professionals treat meta studies with caution and read them very carefully.
1. In theory increasing the number of samples is good. However, this is only valid if the sample populations are very close to identical. Combining studies, this is highly unlikely. So is not a strong argument in favor of meta-studies.
2. Review studies may put good and bad studies on an equal footing. This is very bad, especially as Drug company papers tend to be heavily biased in favor of the drug under study. A possible tactic would be to flood the literature with favorable, but poorly done studies in the hope that the bulk of evidence in a meta study will still favor the drugs.
As an example, many well done meta-analysis in the last five years have found Statins have a number-need-to-treat (NTT) between 42 and 500. This basically means they have no benefit, yet statins are one of the most prescribed drugs and the most profitable drugs in history.
This is my professional opinion as an expert in statistics and data analysis.
Wow watching your videos was very interesting, I love how you can talk about this subject without any embarrassment. I feel we all should be able to do this, yes it is a very private thing but we all have these urges and you being able to get on here and go over them is awesome. But now this raised a question, How happy is your husband? You as a dr, know way more then the average person, so you can get where this is going. Damn i am thinking i married the wrong woman. lol.
First I would like to thank you Rena for all your hard work into putting these incredible videos together. They are very insightful and very much appreciated. I do have a question though, I take Tadalafil usually 10 milligrams every two days. I also take Tamsulosin HCL for Prostatitis and I know it can effect my erections and ejaculation. But do I need to continue the Tamsulosin or would the Tadalafil ease the prostatitis? Any information would be very appreciated Rena. Thank you!
Since how long you have been diagnosed prostatitis
I was prescribed 5mg/day TADAlafil (you see what I did there) and told to give it a week to start working. On day 5, I woke up and was damn near scared to death at the thing staring at me. I don't recall having erections like that as a teenager, and I have not seen such pronounced veins on anyone other than the arms of athletes. I went from just growing to near erect size when aroused and probably unable to push it through the center of a glazed donut to sporting a chubby that could win an arm wrestling match. Oh, the joy of modern medicine!

I take half a 20mg Cialis twice a week. I find my mental clarity improves as well as urinating is more comfortable and freeflowing. I sleep more easily and have better exercise tolerance. Also hanging more on the slack makes me feel more confident.
Cialis is a lipophilic substance so absorbs better with fatty food to stimulate bile secretion.
Tadalafil lasts 36 hours - thing is after 4 hours, she's sore and the cat's nervous...
I take 5 Mg daily and I notice that I get up fewer times at night to urinate. So,e times I do not get up at all.
I split a 20 mg into 4 parts, so I kinda take 5 mg daily when I am sexually active. The effects kinda builds up after each day, so I kinda take a dose one day prior or at least half day before. Good shit
So, what I understood from this video that cialis is better than viagra?????
@@itanasumerian7379 well when it was prescribed to me originally, the doctor suggested so because it has a much longer half-life invivo. So it's more convenient to take when need is anticipated.
Both Viagra and Cialis are PDE5 inhibitors, an enzyme that reduces NO stimulation of blood vessels to expand.
Cialis is way better!
For ED in men, try L-Arginine that is a natural amino acid before getting on The Sildenfil drug. Only a suggestion.
Hey dear how are you doing ?
I don’t have Ed but I was using nitric oxide supplements ie L-Arginine for workout and it did increase my erections..

@@theoneandonly7895 nothing of that worked.

Responses vary with the individual, along with age and underlying conditions. For me 5 mg daily Cialis supplemented with vardenafil "as needed" does the trick.

I had a major spinal injury in 2001 after which I spent years in recovery for numerous conditions in addition to the burst fractures of the vertebrae. One of these was ED and I was prescribed both these medications and both had really bad side effects for me (Viagra was the worst), migraines and severe lower back pain. I was already suffering chronic pain in the lower back but these meds just made it so much worse. I had to stop taking them.
I have torn vertebrae in my L1&2.I have ED so I want to be careful. I just turned 70 yesterday.
Cialis gives me excruciating lower back pain--like sciatica--I can hardly walk. I really wish there were an alternative without this side effect.
@@unrelativistic Take a quarter pill (buy yourself a cheap pill splitter). See if that works. Did for me and my migraine headaches.

Thank you for this info. I found as I approached my 60's my erections were not at full capacity all the time. I am a retired athlete and this bothered me. I experimented with low doses of L-Arginine and that did the trick. At 1 to 2 hours before intimacy (NO alcohol) my erections were as strong as ever. After a couple of years I discovered I was born with bicuspid heart valves (now corrected), that was a contributing factor according to my surgeon. In my opinion pills are a good gap filler for a more serious psychological/physiological issue that 'must' be addressed. Do you agree? Thanks again, I love your information.
these substances only inhibit the reduction of NO in your body... but if your Testosterone is low, not enough NO is produced... therefore it is smarter to start trt... On top of that you could take these pills...

But it affected me long term , now I take 5mg tadafil, 1mg toltradene and tamulsin . I have sleep 7 hours no night peeing . I have asthma and CPAP as well . Fortunately I am in the UK so drug costs don’t affect me .. also get an annual psa blood check
I first took Tadalafil at age forty and had side-effects of acid reflux, ankle swelling, and a small degree of high frequency hearing loss, all temporary. Returning to it over ten years later and I don't seem to get any side-effects at all. One additional piece of info: Tadalafil has a half-life of seventeen hours, so after the thirty-six hours of supposed effectiveness, you roughly have a quarter dose left in your body. I find a full 20mg dose effective for three days and most often just take half a tablet. The only thing it can't help with is completely spontaneous sex with an ongoing partner, which is a shame but I don't see any way around that.
Use the waiting time for foreplay.
Can tedalafil be taken daily?
@@hukssumi Short answer is no. It used to be prescribed as a daily dose of 5mg for pulmonary hypertension but is not used for that purpose these days. As an ED med it's prescribed at a higher dose (10mg+), to be taken as needed and a dose is effective for two to three days.
@lwf51 Wow, not good at all. Will have to look into L-citraline, thank you.
Dr I am 73 old and also patients of angina, blood pressure and irregular heartbeat, please help suggest the dose of Cialis/ tadalafil thanks
What foods negatively affect the use of 20 mg tadalafil? For example squash, butter, whole corn etc. Thank you for your very informative videos !!
CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as erythromycin, itraconazole, and grapefruit juice, would likely increase tadalafil exposure and cause side effect.
Great video. I am already taking tamulosin, with it's unfortunate side effect, as well as having ED. I'm going to ask my doc about daily Tadalafil and see if I can kill two birds with one stone. Your videos are great: direct and informative.
What is YOUR sex timeing now.
How long you can sex??
Dear Tod Glenn: From what I am reading. You will certainly kill one bird with a few stony prescriptions.
What side effects???.
Rena: Dr., you incorrectly stated that "tadalafil can be taken on an empty stomach," when I am SURE you meant "on a full stomach."
Please edit this video!
Very informative. You must be an excellent Dr, as ive watched a number of your videos and you explain things in a simple matter of fact way that anyone can understand.
Its not really just for ED.
Normally if you want to go for 3rd or forth time in a row during a intercourse.A Pill really help a lot
I’m using 5mg/day Cialis for BPH. No issues yet.
This IS the best UA-cam Video on this topic
Dr Malik, thanks for all your videos on ED problems witch i have. I'm 77 yrs old, high blood pressure and only take one med for it but want to get off meds. because of side affects, always tired through the day. I'm going to ask my Urologist to put me on Tadalafil instead of my other medication to lower my BP and hopping to fix my ED problem at the same time.
Devote your mind in God things.

Cialis daily made my condition worse long term. Got to the point where I was completely non-functional. Took me over 6 months of not taking it to recover. Still not great but I'm not going back on that again. You also forgot one side effect (at least of Cialis): it makes sexual activity not feel good. Miserable even.
Developed hypertension several years AFTER I started having ED, so that didn't cause it. Nobody ever did any investigation into the cause; just repeated a memorized explanation that sounded like a textbook. Just assumed hypertension figured in, ignoring that it post-dated the problem. And I've been to a dozen doctors in 4 different states over about 15 years. NOW they say, "well, you're in your late 50s ..." but they don't listen when I say it started in my early 40s!
My sense is they're all flying blind and repeating theoretical stuff they read, then writing prescriptions. For me, I think I need to know what's causing it because the assumptions they're making have no basis in my particular case. But I've pretty much given up by now.
Well their is more to life than sex, find something else productive to do or get prostate massages

Get your testosterone level check brother
@@bgoodorhell4u Way past that. One of the first things I did 15 years ago. It was somewhat low, and so was vitamin D. 6 months of supplements and it was a bit below the center of the normal range.
Also, testosterone affects libido but not ability.
I have tried both of these treatments, and both make my heart race. It races so much it's scary. I would like to find a treatment that won't do that to me. Any suggestions, Dr. Malik?
How much mg u took?
@Im just a Troll whos intentions are good have u ever took tadalafil alone and how was the result?
dude try gainswave its expensive but its like 3 treatments and your good. no pills needed

Ahh yes my partner Rosey Palm. Seriously though the Viagra headache was awful.
This shed light on my sinus congestion issues.
I wished, all urologists were as clear as you are when explaining all interrelations when it comes to biological processes
I'm a senior with reasonably controlled Diabetes and diminishing control over many years of having high blood pressure. I've been using the ED meds off and on as long as they've been available going back to before I had Diabetes and the hypertension was better controlled. My personal experience along with the experience of most other men I've discussed this with, is that Sildenafil is much more effective for ED. I'm surprised that most comments I've read here report opposite results.
When I used Tadalafil for a couple of years I found it helpful, but it provided a significantly less vigorous erectile response than Sildenafil, and I never had much confidence in it on the 2nd day - and the extended period of effectiveness is really the entire point of using it (aside from the BHP issue Dr. Malik discussed). There were times when I felt the need to take 50mgs of Sildenafil to supplement the 36 hour Tadalafil I had taken the previous day when I anticipated sexual activity on that 2nd day. I am wondering if there is any significant risk to combining the 2 as I did during the last 12 hours of the 36 hour Tadalafil window? Btw, I never had any side effects from any ED medication other than some nasal congestion on some occasions, including the occasions when I combined the 2 meds.
Hey dear how are you doing ?
Daily low dose Cialis of 5mg will keep you performing right 24/7.
Please do a review on levitra, I don't know why cialis and viagra doesn't work for after years of using them, but levitra works, I'm puzzled, just wondering if this is normal
It’s almost like Levitra disappeared. I hear nothing about that one anymore. My doctor either talks about Viagra or Cialis. I’m curious as well.
What about herbs like Ashwagandha, Muesli, Shatavari. Do they have same effects or are they much better then medicines?
Much better
Bullshit.
Great information. I had MERSA in July 2022. It effected my central nervous system . I could not walk for 8 weeks. 6 months no erection. Urologist. Said give the body a year to heal. Still. Some action but not the strong action. I had. Your video. Gave me. Hope. Later.
On Dec. 11 a study was released showing that Viagra could be an effective treatment for Alzheimers disease. It was a small sample size but the results were impressive.

love your videos, you are worth it
ok i like that u mention meta-analysis. more real doctor seeming than most fake DRs on YT, not that i’d ever come here for real medical advice. that would be super silly.
Nothing wrong with multiple people's advice. It's whether you take it or not that makes it silly. The information here can easily be confirmed or debunked. Most of us here have experience with the topic, specifically the medications described. Having personally experienced both, I can say with a great deal of confidence that the information given is as accurate as the facts that were repeated by other sources that are also accurate. As with most medicines, its action and reaction will be different for different persons, of which was also covered in the video. It is not silly to learn and investigate. It would be silly to act on advice without first having confirmed the validity of the information. Since I am keenly aware by decades of experience with these medications and use, the information is true and correct.
Thank you for all you do, much appreciated. 👍🏼
One side effect I noticed is aging quickly symptoms, if it was used by women they would noticed , but men do not care about aging they only care about the moment.
What study did you find this information?
LOL

Thank You so much for this video I have learned a lot and I feel more comfortable on trying these ED medications
Hey dear how are you doing ?

Thank you for your very clear explanations, Dr Malik.
I wonder why after a year or two of occasional use of Cialis whithout problems, now same dosage will often cause ( excruating) stomach pain? Thank you in advance!
Thank you doctor. I have BPH and tadalafil really help with that condition.
Hey dear how are you doing?
What BPH?

@@carolynjohnson7308 Hey dear how are you doing?
Well, Viagra didn't work for me, post prostate removal. My doctor told me there is an injection that works almost instantly. Did you do a video about that?
I use Cialis. When I take it, it makes me feel terrible. Red face,. weirdness. pressure. Headaches.... Nothing worse for a guy to take this stuff. "hoping" his wife will be in the mood, and she isn't. A MORE PART of enduring taking this stuff is a MERE PREDICTION of when your wife, or girlfriend is in the mood. I have suffered many nights hoping..when she wasn't in the mood. Amazing how a man will go through taking this shit...... just to be intimate with his woman. Even Rena speaks of the side effects. Nothing pisses me off more................ than taking this stuff, hoping to be with my wife, when she comes home and says no. Goes to sleep. I could say more............. but I won't.
Hey man, your job is to put her in the mood… be better at that and she’ll always be in the mood. The key is knowing what that is and you might have forgot. Good luck man!
Just rub one off at that point.
Jim, communication is key with your wife. Be brave, and let her know you have problems with ED but that you still need to be intimate with her. Let her know what the side effects are and plan together when you both need to have some fun. Good luck my friend.
This is why I have a harem of escorts!!!
by the way for people that need those ,it can often be because of narcotics ,if you take heavy sleeping pills they affect testosterone so over a long period of time it'll make issue
does that include melatonin?
@@Briansgate i said narcotic so mostly morphine codeine cyclobenzapryne and some anti depressant ,melatonine is very light compared to those and I do not know if it could affect it ,ask her for that info :)
@@sylphsylph2118 I know you specified narcotic, I'm just not very savvy as to what falls into what category. Thanks for the info
Dr. MALIK, I really appreciate your videos and I have a question regarding ED. I am 65, type 2 diabetic, and have AFIB. I am on several medications some 8f which can effect my ability ti get an errection. I am prescribed SILDENAFIL 20mg. The SILDENAFIL only helps slightly. I have been getting ads recently regarding a devise tgat is supposed to help with blood flow and was wondering if you had an opinion regarding thus devices ability to help. It is called the Phoenix and is described as an electronic device that is supposed to stimulate blood flow. Do you think it works. And information would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
Which one would recommend based on your own professional and personal experience ?
Knowledgeable about the topic ..and beautiful too
I’ve tried both, I definitely prefer Cialis, way less side effects and I was like a dowel if the wind blew the right way.
Cialis causes heartburn - relaxes sphincter muscle of esophagus
