What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for satisfactory sex. It becomes more common with age but is not an inevitable part of ageing, and it is often an early sign of treatable vascular, hormonal or metabolic disease.

The clinic evaluates ED properly — cause first, treatment second — in a confidential setting, which is safer and more effective than self-medicating with pills bought online.

Causes

  • Vascular disease, diabetes or high blood pressure
  • Low testosterone and hormonal factors
  • Stress, anxiety and relationship factors
  • Medication side effects
  • Smoking, alcohol and lifestyle factors

Symptoms

  • Difficulty achieving an erection
  • Difficulty maintaining an erection
  • Reduced firmness or reliability
  • Reduced sex drive or confidence
  • Associated fatigue or low mood (possible low testosterone)

Self-check: should you get this looked at?

  • You struggle to get or keep an erection
  • It is affecting your confidence or relationship
  • You also feel tired or low in libido
  • You have diabetes, high blood pressure or heart risk
  • The change has been persistent, not occasional

If several of these apply to you, a urological evaluation is worthwhile. This checklist is a guide, not a diagnosis.

Accurate diagnosis

How we diagnose it

Confidential consultation

A private discussion of symptoms, health and medications guides the work-up.

Hormone & metabolic testing

Blood tests assess testosterone and screen for diabetes and related conditions.

Vascular / ultrasound assessment

Where needed, ultrasound evaluates penile blood flow behind the ED.

Cause-focused plan

Findings are explained directly and treatment is tailored to the underlying cause.

Treatment

How we treat erectile dysfunction

Treat the cause

Addressing vascular risk, hormones and lifestyle often improves ED and overall health.

Medical therapy

Oral and other therapies where appropriate, prescribed after proper assessment.

Hormone care

Assessment and, where indicated, treatment of low testosterone with monitoring.

Confidential care

Discreet evaluation without unnecessary treatment, with English support.

ED is investigated for its real causes here using clinic testing rather than treated with a blanket prescription, by a board-certified urologist who is an AUA and EAU member. Because ED can be an early marker of vascular disease, a proper assessment can protect more than your sex life.
