Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo summarize the experience in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) with no successful intercourse at the baseline with tadalafil.
METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed 21 cases of ED with no successful intercourse at the baseline treated with tadalafil on alternate days combined with sex guidance.
RESULTSAfter 4 weeks of tadalafil treatment, 19 of the patients achieved successful sexual intercourse, and the IIEF-5 score was remarkably improved as compared with pre-medication (3.24 +/- 1.55 vs 18.95 +/- 3.02, P<0.0001). Mild adverse reactions were observed in 6 cases, including 2 cases of mild headache and 4 cases of facial blush.
CONCLUSIONTadalafil on alternate days combined with sex guidance can significantly improve ED with no successful intercourse at the baseline.
