"I'm 64 and have suffered from BPH for several years - the biggest issue is having to get up an average of over two times a night to pee. I tried five different standard BPH/OAB drugs, but at best, I was still getting up an average of 1.5 times per night. Then my urologist suggested trying daily tadalafil 5 mg, which I have now been on for 4 weeks. Last week, I slept through the night four times, and the other three nights I just got up once! That in itself is very positive, but the real added benefit has been what it has done for my erections - I'm super hard, it points upwards again, and I'm even waking with morning wood every morning. It feels like I'm 18 again! I remember when my doctor asked if I had any ED problems, I told him 'no, I can still get an erection. Maybe it is not as hard as it used to be, but I don't think I need any drugs.' I didn't want to be 'one of those guys' who had a problem and needed help. Well, I am so glad he convinced me to give it a try - fantastic results for both BPH and ED!"

"I'm 54 and have experienced increasing ED problems over the past 2 years. In November, I was diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer and also have BPH, which is the cause of my ED. I'm not having any treatment beyond active surveillance, and luckily have only mild symptoms (increase in frequency, but that's it. No nighttime disturbance, etc.). Annual health screening detected the cancer/BPH. I started taking daily 5 mg Tadalafil in November, and the results are superb. No side effects, except when combined with alcohol, I sometimes get a stuffy nose. Erections are very strong, and sex is very pleasurable again. (Being circumcised, it does seem to flare out the glans a bit more.) I've also seen a reduction in frequency of urination. Really pleased with the drug, which is working well for me."

"Diagnosed with BPH a few years ago, I'm 54, and have tried several medicines (mainly alpha blockers). It does work but with a lot of side effects. My urologist suggested tadalafil, and it is working very well by reducing symptoms of frequent urination urge during the night, better flow of urine, and iron erection. Double jackpot."

Tadalafil "I used Cialis 5 mg per day for benign prostate enlargement from November 2013 until November 2015. Although it was apparently effective for limiting prostate problems, since I stopped it in November 2015, I am 99% sure that, as a person with zero history of epilepsy, it caused me to suffer from Transient Epileptic Amnesia (TEA), with the TEA during 2014 being unrecognized due to nocturnal episodes. There is also a strong possibility that my gradual increases in food sensitivities during this period, leading to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, were linked to Cialis. This drug should be withdrawn right away for this condition."

"My doctor recommended tadalafil at 2.5 mg a day for BPH. I previously tried other meds without success. Prior to tadalafil, I was getting up 3-4 times a night to pee and if I had an urge while standing, I could not avoid leaking urine. After I took tadalafil, my night frequency was reduced to once, with no need to get up to urinate. I have started to sleep through the night, which has provided me more energy during the day. My erections became much stronger and that is a problem since my wife has become asexual since menopause."

"Was waking up once or twice a night to urinate and had to go frequently during the day. Had all the typical symptoms of BPH. Insurance would not cover Cialis, but got 20 mg Tadalafil tablets from Canada and cut them into 4 pieces for an approximate dose of 5 mg per day. Works like a charm! I can now go normal intervals between bathroom breaks, and the 5 mg dose seems to make sex last longer. A win-win situation!"

"I have years of experience here. I'm 72. Initially, I was prescribed this drug for an enlarged prostate. I started and stopped the drug for various reasons not associated with this drug's use. That said, tadalafil is an awesome drug. It has cured my BPH and came with a bonus of diabetes-induced erectile dysfunction. Erections are now easy. I take 10 mg tablets daily."

"Cialis 5 mg works great for me for my Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. I have tried all the other medicines for BPH, but none of them worked. A daily dose of 5 mg greatly improved my symptoms. Sometimes, I don't use it on a daily basis, just take it occasionally, and it still works like a charm."

"I'm 60 and noticed BPH symptoms. A consultant confirmed this and tried me on Tamulosin (cheap!!). My body couldn't get on with Tamulosin (dizzy, reduced semen volume, retro-ejaculation). Tried Tadalafil (5mg daily). After three days, had indigestion/heartburn and lower back/upper leg ache. Stopped taking on the 4th day and by the 5th day, I was okay again. Decided to take Tadalafil for two days, then stop for the third day, etc. Did this for a week. This worked well - little heartburn, no back pain. I risked taking the drug daily again and was okay! Now been taking for three weeks - very little indigestion, no back pain. I don't have urgency to pee and often don't need to get up at night. Not sure how long it takes for the drug to have optimum effect but okay after three weeks! Still have reduced semen volume (from the Tamulosin) and numerous nocturnal erections! Just like being a lad again! I pay 8.80 GBP (standard National Health charge) per month for a month's supply."

"My urologist prescribed it for chronic prostatitis, not bacterial prostatitis. I take 2.5 mg every other day. It is effective, symptoms declined. Furthermore, it has increased my erections incredibly. I am 58 years old."

"My BPH symptoms were getting worse over the last 10 years, and when I started to pee 5 times a night, it was time to do something. I've been on 2.5 mg tadalafil for 2 months and am down to 1 time a night and occasionally even sleep through the night."

"I’m using this medicine for an enlarged prostate. I’m on 2.5 mg to see if I get any side effects. So far, the only side effect I noticed is it makes me slightly tired. The other medication I tried either didn’t help or the side effects I couldn’t stand. So far, so good. And it helps my ED also."

"I have been taking various benign prostate hyperplasia medicines. Cardura is the most recent and is the only one that does not cause as severe retro-ejaculation. My urologist put me on daily Cialis, and my ejaculations have greatly improved, and my frequency of urination at night also has improved. Only problem is my insurance will only prescribe 24 capsules, which they consider a 90-day supply. I can get Viagra 10 mg, which 24 capsules will last several months."

"I am 55 years old, and I have had BPH for 5 years. In the beginning, I was taking tamsulosin, but after a few years, I started to have abnormal ejaculation. I read the effects of tamsulosin, and I was thinking it is not another way. I talked with my doctor, and I complained, and he prescribed me tadalafil, and now I am happy."

"It works (5 mg) VERY, VERY well for BPH! BUT I'm paying $270 every month because there's no generic, so I've had to skip doses or refills because I cannot afford to pay 270 bucks a month on top of all my other medicine! When I do skip a month, ALL of my symptoms of BPH return with a vengeance. Too bad Medicare won't pay part of it, nor will my Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska! My brother has BPH, and he pays $70 thr. Gotta figure it out why mine's not covered."

"It worked well for my benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and erectile dysfunction the few times I took it. However, it made my sleep apnea worse even though I use a CPAP machine. I was really hoping this would work."

"Taking a daily 5 mg dose for both BPH and ED symptoms. No side effects in general apart from very occasional heartburn. Erections are strong and I feel like a teenager again. I’m circumcised high and tight too and noticed the glans is more flared and sensitive. Post-ejaculation, my erections linger for a while, which is nice too. On the BPH side, my LUTS symptoms are fine - no nocturnal disturbance, and daytime flow/frequency is very manageable. (I’ve early stage prostate cancer, which is being managed via active surveillance.) Highly recommend giving this drug a go if you have ED and/or BPH issues."

"I have been having urinary problems for a while now and had been prescribed Flomax (Tamsulosin), which helped some. I consulted my doctor, who added a prescription for Tadalafil, the generic of Cialis. I was familiar with Cialis for ED but never knew it was effective for an enlarged prostate. I was prescribed 5 mg, which has been amazingly effective, with a vast improvement the next day. I rarely have to get up during the night, usually for another issue. I can choose to go rather than have to go, returning multiple times to dribble out a little more until I’ve emptied enough for another hour or so. Now it’s one trip, and I’m good for several hours, even when drinking my morning coffee. One side effect I’m experiencing is back/thigh pain. Tylenol and one ibuprofen relieve this. I’ve continued Flomax, the two together have been proven to be more effective. I reduced the Tadalafil to ½ tab to see if the back pain diminishes and if it is still effective."

"I have had intense cramp-like symptoms in the right mid-back area 24/7 for many months. Had X-rays, scans, and lots of physio, but nothing has helped or shown up. Feels internal as no pain is generated by pushing on the skin. Could it be a side effect of tadalafil 5 mg? Don't want to stop using tadalafil as it's helping with the BPH."
