The various PDE5 inhibitors share several common side effects, including flushing, nasal congestion, nausea, dyspepsia (stomach discomfort/indigestion), and diarrhea.

Men can have several types of issues including poor sex drive and problems with ejaculation. But ED refers specifically to trouble getting or keeping an erection. You might have a healthy sex drive, but a body that won’t respond. Most of the time there is a physical basis for the problem.
Studies have shown that for men with stress-related ED, when the partner is involved in the therapy, the problem is resolved 50%–70% of the time. When the man must go through counselling alone, the results are less successful. Psychosexual counselling is unlikely to be effective if a man drops out of treatment after just one or two sessions.44
Most ageing men manage to get erections, but to do so requires more stimulation. It is up to each man to decide whether his erection is adequate.

It is known that certain lifestyle factors can increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction, and therefore patients may be advised to reduce their alcohol intake and stop smoking. Regular exercise may also help symptoms, as it may improve physical health, in addition to reducing any symptoms of anxiety or stress that may be contributing to the condition. However, cycling for more than 3 hours a week has been shown to increase the likelihood of erectile dysfunction, and so if patients cycle more than this, they should be advised to seek alternative means of exercise.
