OBJECTIVE:To summarize the experience in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) with no successful intercourse at the baseline with tadalafil.
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 21 cases of ED with no successful intercourse at the baseline treated with tadalafil on alternate days combined with sex guidance.
RESULTS: After 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.
CONCLUSION: Tadalafil on alternate days combined with sex guidance can significantly improve ED with no successful intercourse at the baseline.
