Ped5i/Tadalafil etc as a benefit to SE of ADT?

Tadalafil , etc is prescribed for ED, BPH and PAH (pulmonary arterial hypertension). It is pretty much agreed upon that Tadalafil increases insulin sensitivity thus improving lean body mass, particularly around the gut, improves Testosterone/estrogen relationship and is good for heart and vascular health and possibly be positive for bone strength in the regular population. So these are all issues which are impacted by ADT. It seems to me daily cialis would be the perfect fit for those of us with PCa on ADT dealing with the above SE's and issues. I take 5mg cialis daily for BPH (no more flowmax). My MO says fine, neutral about the rest.

Anyone else have an opinion or experience?

I take 5mg of Cialis daily as well, primarily for any and all help it can offer to blood vessels and keep ED from getting worse. I don't know if it has all other other benefits you listed but it would be awesome if it does. Especially the part about the gut ADT gifted to me!

5mg Cialis is enough to protect from penile shrinkage too. I switched to Cialis after a year of trying to make friends with a very expensive penis pump. Unpleasant 🙄

Plus, I wake up with a light woody which is reassuring 😁

My sexual health specialist never even mentioned it. I found out about it here and had to ask! 🤷
