Brief Answer:
they seem to be almost equivalent

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

they seem to be almost equivalent regarding their efficacy. Cialis has an advantage in patients with concomitant erectile dysfunction.

The sex drive may decrease as men age. Some chronic diseases and treatments may cause lowering of the sex drive. Cialis won't help with the sex drive. It will help with potential erectile dysfunction.

Kind Regards!

what can boost sex drive in men over 55 years

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (5 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
you've got to check your hormones first

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

if you don't produce enough testosterone then male hormones may increase the sex drive a bit. Otherwise there is nothing you can take to really help. If you don't have any hormonal insufficiency then perhaps you should work on the psychological aspects of this issue. Feeling good about your life helps...

Kind Regards!

what level a man of 58 hormones should be to have a good sex drive
doctor
Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (16 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
normal values between 280-1100 ng/dL

Detailed Answer:
The normal values range between 280-1100 ng/dL. There are more than one assessments for testosterone but the total testosterone is usually the first test. Testosterone assessments should be done between 08:00 and 11:00 am because of the diurnal variation of this hormone. Please keep in mind that the levels drop by approximately 1% per year after the age of 30.

Finally if the levels are below normal, perhaps measuring other hormones like prolactin and LH, FSH should be considered. You will have to talk with an endocrinologist for that though.

what is the average time a man can take to have sex again after he ejaculates the first time? second round so to say.

Answered by Dr. Panagiotis Zografakis (32 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
I don't believe there are standard times

Detailed Answer:
Although this is not strictly medical, I don't believe that there are standard times. It depends largely on the individual. What's obvious is that a younger man may start a second sexual contact sooner than an older man but both need some time to recuperate. It can take anything between minutes to even a whole day.
