Cialis alleviates Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) symptoms by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. This relaxation eases urine flow, reducing common BPH issues like frequent urination, weak stream, and nighttime awakenings.
The active ingredient, tadalafil, works by inhibiting an enzyme called phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5). PDE5 influences blood flow. By inhibiting PDE5, Cialis increases blood flow to the prostate and bladder neck, promoting relaxation of the smooth muscles in these areas.
This improved blood flow isn’t solely responsible for symptom relief; Cialis also affects other mechanisms involved in the regulation of urinary function. While the exact interplay remains under research, the drug’s effect on muscle relaxation remains the central mechanism explaining its efficacy in BPH management.
Important Note: Cialis isn’t a cure for BPH; it manages symptoms. Consult your doctor to discuss if Cialis is right for you, and to determine the appropriate dosage and treatment plan. They can also discuss potential side effects and interactions with other medications.
Remember to always follow your doctor’s instructions and report any concerning side effects.
