Consulting a healthcare provider:

As ED can have one or more serious causes (physical/psychological), you should see a healthcare provider in any case — even it’s not an easy step for you. Remember: Your health is the most important thing, and you don’t have to feel ashamed. Also think about talking to a counselor for psychological, emotional or relationship therapy.

Some basic questions to ask your doctor could be:

• What are possible causes of my erection difficulties?
• Which kind of tests do you recommend?
• Is my Erectile Dysfunction most likely temporary or chronic?
• What do you think is the best treatment for me?
• Which lifestyle changes are necessary?
• If I need medication, might Tadalafil be a good option?
• If you have other health conditions (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.), please inform your doctor.

What to expect from your doctor?
Be prepared for questions such as:

• How are you feeling? Are there other health issues or chronic conditions you have?
• Have there been any changes in your sexual desire?
• What seems to improve your symptoms? And what is worsening them?
• Do you get erections during masturbation, with a partner or while you sleep?
• Are there any conflicts in your relationship with your sexual partner?
• Does your partner have any sexual conditions?
• Are you anxious, depressed or under stress?
• When did you realize that you had difficulties getting or keeping an erection?
• What medications do you take, including any herbal remedies, supplements, drugs, etc.?
• Do you drink alcohol? If so, how much and what exactly?
