Our erectile dysfunction package includes a 60-minute consultation with a GP and extensive blood testing to determine your symptoms’ root cause. We look at your overall health, diabetes risk, hormone imbalance and prostate health to exclude the usual contributors to erectile dysfunction. We will also speak with you to understand the circumstances around the onset of your symptoms and offer you advice and appropriate treatment, so you can go back to living a fulfilling life.
Erectile dysfunction is defined as ongoing difficulty in getting or maintaining an erection. This main symptom may or may not be accompanied by a loss of libido. ED has either physical or psychological causes. If you wake up with an erection or can get an erection when you are alone, it is more likely that the cause of your ED is psychological.
The most common cause of occasional failure to maintain an erection is drinking alcohol. Still, if you notice that your symptoms are not linked to how much you are drinking, it is important to have a consultation with the doctor, who can help you get fully checked & make sure that there are no serious underlying causes.
ED is increasingly understood to have a medical basis & is nothing at all to be embarrassed about. There are plenty of treatment options, whether the causes of your ED are emotional, psychological, or physical, so please do not hesitate to speak to a doctor. We always have male doctors available who are experienced in treating this condition, so when you make your appointment, please feel free to specify that you would prefer to be seen by a man if this is the case.
Your GP consultation will include a discussion with the doctor about your symptoms, how long you have had them & when they are occurring. Based on this information, the doctor may recommend blood tests, a review of your current medication, or a referral for therapy or further screening. As there are many possible causes of ED, your appointment will be specific to your needs.
