- Have you experienced difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection in recent months?
- Do these difficulties occur more than half of the time during sexual activity?
- Have the symptoms persisted for longer than 4–6 weeks?
- Do erections improve with rest, reduced stress, or lifestyle changes?
- Are morning or spontaneous erections less frequent than before?
- Do you notice reduced sexual confidence or performance anxiety?
- Have you been diagnosed with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease?
- Do you smoke, consume alcohol regularly, or use recreational drugs?
- Are you currently taking medications that may affect blood flow or hormones?
- Have you had pelvic surgery, injury, or radiation therapy in the past?
- Do symptoms worsen with fatigue, stress, or relationship difficulties?
- Have you ever tried a PDE5 inhibitor (such as tadalafil) before?
- If yes, did you experience side effects like headache, flushing, or back pain?
- Do you have concerns about sexual health affecting your quality of life?
- Are you unsure whether symptoms are physical, psychological, or mixed?
How to interpret answers
This questionnaire is not a diagnostic tool. Use the patterns in your answers as a guide:
- Low reason to seek help: Symptoms are rare, short‑lived, and clearly linked to temporary stress or fatigue.
- Medium reason to seek help: Symptoms recur, last several weeks, or affect confidence and relationships.
- High reason to seek help: Persistent symptoms, known cardiovascular or metabolic disease, or significant distress.
Next steps: what to do
- Monitor symptoms over several weeks without self‑medicating.
- Record frequency, triggers, and any improvement or worsening.
- Review lifestyle factors (sleep, exercise, smoking, alcohol).
- Prepare a list of current medications and supplements.
- Schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or urologist.
- Ask about benefits, risks, and alternatives to Cialis (tadalafil).
- Follow professional guidance and avoid unverified online products.
