Daily Cialis 5 mg

Hi,

Haven’t been on here for around 10 years or so. I’ll get right to it. Started taking daily Cialis 3 weeks ago and feel my testicles shrinking. Has anyone encountered this? Read that it can reduce LH after a couple of mos while increasing test.

Hello,

I also tried it for a couple of months and didn’t notice any siginificant shrinking. My main problem was intensified tinnitus and head pressure.

I have testical enlargement though milder than aromatase inhibitors. I also agree with head aches … other than that I have crazy morning woods while on it.

I initially had mild headaches although went away after a couple of weeks. Any minute libido I had previously has vanished. Ejaculate volume is practically non existent now which may be correlated to my shrunken testes. It’s definitely noticeable. Morning wood is off and on, not quite consistent as it was the first few weeks. Not sure if I should continue treatment. I feel it may be shutting me down further.

I had a really negative reaction to daily cialis as well. It’s well over half a year since I quit and I’m still not back to baseline, although much better.

I think I posted about it in my story.

Yes it’s been very upsetting. I’m much worse than before. Think I may take the plunge and start TRT after contemplating it for several years.

Same for me. And my balls also shrunk, but my T is same.

I don’t think it’s the leydig cells, but the sertoli cells who got damaged. This study show it can happen in rats at least.

Histological examination revealed mild changes in Group 2 and moderate changes in Group 3 in the form of loosely packed connective stroma around seminiferous tubules, reduction in number of spermatogenic cells with sloughing of many spermatocytes within the lumen of some tubules. Large vacuoles appeared in the tubules which contained a fewer number of sperm. Sperm bundles were degenerated in most tubules and completely absent in others. It is concluded that chronic daily use of tadalafil produces detrimental effects on the structure and function of the testes of old male albino rats which are duration dependent.

Is your T low? Going on TRT will shrink your balls further just so you know.

I told my urologist that my balls were shrinking. He hadn’t heard of that side effect. So told him I would take every other day or less frequently. I’m off it completely and my penis is worse if that’s even possible. Haven’t had bloodwork done yet. Was think HCG along with TRT although don’t like the idea of needles 3 times a week.

I have been on daily cialis 5mg for years and haven’t noticed any worsening of that symptom. I also had myself tested multiple times while on cialis and it had no perceivable impact on LH, T or E.

I use the gel for TRT…not sure if HCG is available in that format

Been on 5mg Cialis for 3 weeks and just want to report my experience so far:

Libido - little positive benefit

Nocturnal Erections - significant improvement. Wouldn’t say they are rock hard but they are occuring and sometimes can get up to 70-80% hardness

Morning Erections - there more often but still weak

Brain penis connection - slight improvement in the morning

Masturbation - erection does not fade as fast but still can’t achieve 100% hardness

Premature ejaculation - significant improvement

Urination - don’t really notice any difference

Ejaculation/orgasm - no difference

Overall - I’d say I’ve had a moderately positive experience so far. Will look into adding pelvic floor physiotherapy and Shockwave.
