01 / UNDERSTANDING YOUR CARE
A clearer picture.
Occasional erection difficulty can happen, but a repeated problem is worth discussing. Physical health, medicines, stress and emotional factors can all play a part. Assessment helps avoid guessing at a cause or buying an unsuitable product.
You can ask about ED treatment without needing to know the medical terms. At booking, it is enough to request a urology or andrology consultation. Discuss personal medical details with the clinician rather than posting reports in public comments.
An erection lasting more than four hours needs urgent medical care. Do not wait for a routine consultation or website response.
How your concern is assessed.
The doctor may ask when the problem started, whether erections occur at other times, and about diabetes, blood pressure, heart health or medicines. An examination and selected tests may be advised according to your situation.
Tell the doctor about all prescribed medicines and products bought online. Do not stop medicines on your own. Ask how any proposed treatment fits your other health conditions and whether follow-up is needed.
What to discuss with your doctor.
- Repeated difficulty getting or maintaining an erection
- Changes in sexual function after illness or a medicine change
- Worry, relationship strain or concerns about sexual health that you want to discuss
Care options explained.
Your doctor will discuss which options fit your assessment.
Health and lifestyle review
Managing relevant health conditions and discussing smoking, activity, alcohol and stress may form part of a plan. Counselling can help when emotional factors contribute.
Medicines and devices
A clinician may discuss prescription medicines or a vacuum device if suitable. Medicines can interact with other treatments, so a prescription needs a proper health review.
When an implant may be discussed
Most people do not need surgery. A penile implant may be considered after other suitable options have not helped. Ask about assessment, alternatives and the facilities where any proposed procedure would be arranged.
Benefits, limits and possible risks.
Medicines and devices have possible side effects; an implant also carries surgical risks such as infection or mechanical problems. Avoid unverified “permanent cure” claims. Your doctor should explain the expected benefit and limits of each option.
Before your consultation.
- Bring your medicine list and relevant diabetes, blood pressure or heart health reports.
- Write down when the problem began and any treatments already tried.
- Request a consultation through the doctor’s booking profile and confirm timing with the team.
A few common questions.
Do I need a penile implant first?
Can I use pills advertised online?
Will treatment definitely cure the problem?
