In this brief health‑advice segment, Dr. Anne Truong emphasizes that erectile dysfunction (ED) should be addressed by treating its underlying causes rather than relying on chronic daily use of PDE5 inhibitors such as Cialis or Viagra. She warns that long‑term use of these medications can lead to serious side effects, notably hearing loss and visual loss. While acknowledging that low‑dose Cialis is sometimes prescribed for prostate issues and can offer benefits, she advises that the drugs be taken only as needed. Dr. Truong argues that a younger body does not require medication to achieve orgasm; instead, the body needs nurturing and restoration. By resolving the root cause of ED, men can avoid the need for continuous medication and its associated risks.

If you have ED, you want to work on the root cause of why you have ED. And so there are definitely long-term side effects, hearing loss and visual loss as well. So medication like Cialis and Viagra should be taken as needed. However, I know that some men take Cialis for prostate issues as well at low dose. So there are some benefits, but if you can work at resolving the root cause of your ED, you may not need to be on medication. Who wants to take medication for long term, for every day? I don't. Because your body don't need medication to have an orgasm when you are younger. Why do your body need it now? You need it now because it needs to be nurtured. It needs to be restored for it to function properly. Every medication has a side effect if you take it long term. But if you can restore your orgasm with just treating the root cause, then you will not need Cialis.
