Can medications commonly called “boner pills” actually help men pee better? You might be surprised!
In this episode of UroPatient, Vic Senese, RN, BSN, FAUNA, explains the surprising connection between erectile dysfunction (ED), enlarged prostate (BPH), and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) — and why a medication that was originally associated with erections may also have benefits for urination.
Medications such as tadalafil (Cialis) are FDA-approved for erectile dysfunction and are also approved for the treatment of signs and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
For some men, treating both conditions with one medication may be an option worth discussing with their healthcare provider.
In this patient-friendly episode, we'll explore how PDE5 inhibitors work and why they can affect more than just sexual function.
