- Awareness rate by age group is highest in their 50s at 40.0%

Awareness of daily low-dose tadalafil use
Regarding the daily low-dose tadalafil administration style, only 31.0% of respondents answered, 'I know a lot about it' or 'I've heard of it but don't know the details,' while 69.0% answered, 'I didn't know anything about it.'
This result suggests that awareness of the daily low-dose tadalafil administration style is currently limited.
Awareness rate by age group is highest in their 50s at 40.0%
Awareness rate by age group is highest in their 50s at 40.0%
Looking at the awareness rate by age group, the highest was 40.0% for men in their 50s, followed by 38.5% for those aged 60 and over, and 35.3% for those in their 40s.
By age group, it is possible that awareness is relatively more advanced among those in their 40s and older.
Actual daily users remain at only 5.0%
Experience with low-dose tadalafil administration
Only 5.0% of respondents had experience taking low-dose tadalafil daily, combining 3.0% who 'are currently taking it' and 2.0% who 'have taken it in the past.'
While a certain number of people are aware, actual experience with administration is low, indicating a gap between awareness and experience.
Dosing method that suits oneself among daily and as-needed administration
Overall, 56.5% of respondents chose the 'as-needed dosing style before intercourse' as suitable for them, while the 'daily dosing style' remained at 16.5%.
On the other hand, among those with experience taking low-dose tadalafil daily, a positive tendency towards the daily dosing style was observed, showing differences in perception depending on awareness and experience.
Men's unique concerns and difficulty in consulting, as revealed by free-form responses
Men's unique concerns that are hard to express and have always been bothering them
In free-form responses, in addition to concerns about erectile dysfunction and decreased stamina, many expressed difficulties in consulting and anxieties related to their relationships with partners.
These concerns extend beyond functional aspects, suggesting psychological burdens and anxieties about interpersonal relationships.
In response to the survey (Comment from the Director)
This survey revealed the low awareness of the daily low-dose tadalafil administration style. On the other hand, free-form responses also showed that many people have various concerns not limited to erectile function, such as decreased vitality, wavering confidence, and anxiety about aging.
Such concerns are very delicate, and many people find them difficult to talk about. However, consulting a medical institution depending on the cause and condition may lead to improvement or resolution.
Fit Clinic also provides men's health consultations and offers online consultations. If you have any symptoms, consulting a doctor is one option.
