Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 45-year-old male, and I have been experiencing difficulties with achieving and maintaining erections. I am interested in understanding more about PDE5 inhibitors as a potential solution for erectile dysfunction. Can you provide insights into how PDE5 inhibitors work, their effectiveness, and any potential side effects or considerations I should be aware of? Additionally, are there lifestyle changes or other treatments that can complement the use of PDE5 inhibitors in addressing erectile dysfunction? I am looking for information to make informed decisions about managing this issue.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I can understand your concern.

PDE5 inhibitor works by increasing blood supply to penis. Common side effects are low blood pressure, headache, and giddiness. Avoid using with cardiac medication. With lifestyle modification you can get better effect.

I hope this helps. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
