Thalassemia Minor and Cialis: increased risk of priapism?
Hello,
I have read in a few websites that there is an increased risk of priapism in patients who take ED drugs like Cialis/Viagra/Levitra and who also have (among other conditions) Sickle Cell Disease and/or Beta Thalassemia.
It's not clear to me whether Beta Thalassemia Minor (my condition) also increases that risk.I could not find much information about it. I am aware that sickle cell disease is not the same as Beta Thalassemia Minor, but because some websites mention Beta Thalassemia or just Thalassemia in the "increased risk" list, I would really like to know if my condition does put me at risk.
I'm considering using Cialis but I wouldn't like to use it if the risk of Priapism is increased for my condition. I have still undiagnosed partial ED and I'm considering using small dosage like 2.5-10mg.
I would appreciate your answer/advice.
Thanks

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
