Introduction and Hypothesis: Phosphodiesterase enzymes are widely distributed in female urogenital tissues. Yet, the understanding of their physiological roles and the impact of phosphodiesterase inhibitors on lower urinary tract symptoms in women remains limited. Current hypotheses are conflicting: one suggests that vasodilation might expand the periurethral vascular plexus, leading to increased urethral pressure, whereas the other proposes a relaxation of urethral musculature, resulting in decreased pressure. To further clarify this, we investigated the effect of tadalafil on the opening urethral pressure and voiding function in healthy women. Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involving 24 healthy women. Participants were randomly assigned to receive a single dose of tadalafil (40 mg) or placebo during their initial visit and then switched to the alternative treatment during their second visit. Opening urethral pressure was measured with urethral pressure reflectometry during both resting and squeezing conditions of the pelvic floor. Subsequently, voiding parameters were recorded. Results: Compared with placebo, a single dose of tadalafil significantly reduced opening urethral pressure during both resting (-6.8 cmH₂0; 95% confidence interval [CI], -11.8 to -1.9; p = 0.009) and squeezing conditions (-8.8 cmH₂0; 95% CI, -14.6 to -3.1; p = 0.005). Voiding parameters did not show significant differences (average flow rate: -0.8 ml/s [95% CI, -2.0 to 0.4; p = 0.2]; maximum flow rate: -1.7 ml/s [95% CI, -4.8 to 1.5; p = 0.3]). Conclusions: A single dose of 40 mg tadalafil moderately reduced urethral pressure in healthy women, without affecting voiding parameters. The clinical implications of this are yet to be determined.
