Cialis and prostate health

SPEEDY · Mar 28, 2018

I've seen a lot of info when researching on the net about cialis and BPH. Does this mean that it has a preventative/protective attribute with regard to prostate cancer or just an enlarged prostate?
My father and his brother both have prostate cancer so this is of particular interest to me

I think it is to help with urine flow. Protective would be sufficient Iodine, Selenium and eating broccoli. http://www.lifeextension.com/protocols/cancer/prostate-cancer-prevention/page-05

I agree with this.
I have BPH and take 10mg cialis daily. It really helps me empty my bladder and the urge to go all the time is also reduced.
I do not believe this cures anything just helps you get by with less pain.

The PDE class of drugs helps relax smooth muscle in and around the bladder which is one mechanism of how Cialis (PDE5) helps BPH. There was another post here recently regarding research on PDE4 inhibitor which is more potent in this regard.

I just finished testing low dose Viagra 25mg x2 per day for 1 month. I then tried Levitra low dose 10mg x2 per day for 1 month. This was to replace cialas 5mg x2 per day for BPH.
I just hate the side effects of cialas and was hoping one of the other boner pills would work as well for my BPH. They did not however I found Levitra at 20mg is way better than 20 mg cialas or 100mg Viagra for sex. YMMV

there is a prescription drug flomax that relaxes it too i think? I wonder if flomax works the same mechanism.
