Tadalafil for Prostate Cancer


Tadalafil, trademarked as Cialis, is an oral drug which may improve the flow of blood to the penis when the flow of blood has been altered as a result of prostate cancer treatment. Tadalafil is a medical treatment known as a PDE-5 inhibitor used for sexual impotence that is caused biological factors. Most prostate cancer treatments commonly cause impotence as a side effect because some treatments shut off veins that lead into the penis. Tadalafil works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the penis and allowing more blood to flow in. Tadalafil is not an aphrodisiac and will not work as a potency enhancer without proper arousal. Men who have undergone prostate cancer treatment and who are anxious about engaging in sexual relations again may not benefit from Tadalafil. Changes in biological function are not always responsible for impotence.
