Cialis (tadalafil) is a medication used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing blood flow to certain areas of the body.
While Cialis does not directly increase testosterone levels, there is some evidence that it may have indirect effects:
- Cialis improves erections by increasing blood flow. This can restore sexual confidence and reduce performance anxiety, which may minimize stress and help maintain normal testosterone levels.
- By treating ED, Cialis may promote sexual activity. More frequent ejaculations from sexual activity may stimulate mild temporary boosts in testosterone.
- Some research shows PDE5 inhibitors like Cialis may improve erectile response to testosterone in men with low testosterone levels. So it may enhance the benefits of testosterone treatment.
- In one small study, men with ED taking Cialis for 8 weeks experienced increased sexual satisfaction and frequency, and had higher testosterone levels than non-treated men with ED. The reasons for this are unclear.
So in summary, while Cialis does not directly increase testosterone, it may:
- Reduce stress and anxiety that can negatively impact T levels
- Promote more sexual activity and ejaculations that stimulate T
- Enhance erectile response to testosterone treatment
- Indirectly boost T levels over time in some men
However, the effects above would likely be mild at most.
Cialis is not a testosterone booster. Its main mechanism of action has nothing to do with testosterone.
If you're concerned about clinically low testosterone, speak to your doctor. Blood testing is needed to determine if you need testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or related treatment.
Some signs and symptoms of low testosterone include:
TRT can effectively treat testosterone deficiency symptoms when properly managed under medical supervision. TRT requires a prescription and involves administering testosterone (injections, gels, patches, etc) to return levels to a healthy range.
