Understand the cause
Discuss what has changed and how it affects you.
01 / THE FOUNDATIONS
Erectile health is part of overall health.
An erection depends on coordinated blood flow, nerve signals, hormones and psychological wellbeing. Difficulty achieving or maintaining firmness can have more than one cause.[1]
Persistent changes deserve a clinical assessment. This may include a review of medicines, cardiovascular and metabolic risk, and tests selected for your history. Symptoms alone cannot identify a vascular cause.[1]
Weigh the evidence
Ask about likely benefits, uncertainty, risks and alternatives.
Make a shared decision
Agree on goals, costs and a way to review progress.
