During the recent Men’s Health Conference, Dr. Carlos Mendoza, a leading urologist, discussed the implications of using Cialis, particularly addressing the question of what happens when taking Cialis without engaging in sexual activity. This topic has garnered significant attention, as many men are curious about the drug’s effects beyond its intended use.

What is Cialis?

Cialis, generically known as tadalafil, is primarily used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It works by increasing blood flow to the penis, facilitating an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. However, the drug’s effects can lead to various considerations for users.
