What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction is a common condition that affects your ability to get or maintain an erection. It’s normal to occasionally experience erection problems, but if it happens more frequently, it can understandably lead to frustration and feelings of embarrassment.

Our team is here to guide you every step of the way, making sure you feel comfortable and well-informed throughout your care. We’ll take the time to explore the potential causes of your condition, so you never feel rushed or alone in the process. Remember, erectile dysfunction is very common, and we’re here to help identify what might be going on and provide the compassionate support you need.

Symptoms of erectile dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction can mean that you:

Only sometimes get an erection
Get an erection but have trouble maintaining it
Can’t get an erection at all

We understand that talking about your ED symptoms isn’t always easy. However, we’re here to listen and help you feel at ease in a completely judgment-free environment.

What causes erectile dysfunction?

ED can have many possible causes. To help understand what might be affecting you, we’ll take a closer look at your symptoms, medical history and lifestyle.

Erectile dysfunction is something many men experience – and often, it’s temporary. This is because ED can be linked to psychological factors like anxiety, depression, stress, or simply feeling exhausted.

It’s also common to experience symptoms of ED after drinking alcohol.

Other possible causes of erectile dysfunction can include:

Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Certain medications, such as antidepressants
Smoking

ED can sometimes be a result of a combination of physical and psychological factors. For example, you might feel anxious while also managing high blood pressure, or experience symptoms after drinking alcohol while living with diabetes.

In some cases, erectile dysfunction can be linked to an underlying health condition that affects your:

Circulatory system – an erection relies on healthy blood flow. When your penis fills with blood, several valves temporarily close to keep the blood in place, allowing you to stay erect. If these valves don’t function properly, it can make it difficult to achieve and maintain an erection.
Nervous system – your brain, spinal cord and nerves send signals that trigger erections. If there’s damage to any part of this system, those electrical impulses may not travel as they should, which can interfere with your ability to get or keep an erection.
Endocrine system – this system is made up of glands that produce hormones, including testosterone. A hormone imbalance – such as low testosterone levels – can play a role in erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction treatment

We’re here to provide you with bespoke erectile dysfunction treatment that takes your unique needs into account. It’s important not to try and treat your ED on your own, as there are many potential causes and different treatments available, and self-medicating with over-the-counter remedies like Viagra or relying on home remedies can worsen the condition. You want to be sure you’re opting for the best option for your specific needs.

We take a personalised approach that focuses on your entire person, which can help you see meaningful improvements in your erectile dysfunction.

Lifestyle changes we may recommend include:

Giving up smoking
Limiting your alcohol intake
Increasing your cardiovascular exercise (such as running, swimming and cycling)
Emotional support and advice
Changing or adjusting current medications that may be contributing to your condition

In some cases, medical treatments may be necessary to improve your ED.

These treatments can include:

Oral medications (like Viagra) to increase blood flow to your penis
Hormone therapies, such as testosterone replacement therapy
Self-injection therapies to help you achieve an erection
Vacuum pumps to encourage blood flow to your penis
Penile implants, which are surgically placed into your penis to support erections (these don’t affect your ability to urinate or ejaculate and are typically used in severe ED cases)

Our team will work with you to explore your treatment options and suggest personalised lifestyle changes that may help improve your erectile dysfunction.

Erectile dysfunction frequently asked questions (FAQs)

Can you wake up with an erection but still have erectile dysfunction?

Yes, it’s possible. If you wake up in the morning with an erection, it could indicate that your erectile dysfunction may have a psychological cause rather than a physical one. In these cases, emotional support and addressing mental wellbeing may be the most effective treatment.

Can I have erectile dysfunction at a young age?

Yes – while erectile dysfunction is most common in men over 50, it can also affect younger men. Factors such as being overweight, stress or anxiety can all contribute to ED at a young age.

Will I need to take medication for my erectile dysfunction?

Not necessarily. Whether medication is recommended will depend on the underlying cause of your erectile dysfunction. We’ll guide you through the available treatment options, so you can make an informed choice that feels right for you.

Can my erectile dysfunction go away without treatment?

In some cases, yes. If your erectile dysfunction is caused by something temporary – like stress – your symptoms may improve once the underlying issue is resolved. However, erectile dysfunction usually requires some additional support to improve and maintain your erections in the long term.
