Discreet online care and prescription ED treatment

Affecting an estimated 30 million people in the U.S., erectile dysfunction is characterized by a chronic inability to achieve or maintain erections firm enough for sexual intercourse. ED frequency increases with age and can indicate other health conditions.

Sexual arousal is a multifaceted process involving hormones, muscles, emotions and brain activity. So erectile dysfunction can have a wide range of underlying causes. The condition can stem from physical issues like heart problems, high cholesterol or obesity. It can also be linked to psychological sources such as stress, anxiety or relationship issues. Identifying and treating the underlying causes of erectile dysfunction often improves the condition.

Many cases of erectile dysfunction can be reversed when the underlying causes—physical or psychological—are treated.

Anxiety or stress around pleasing your partner or performing sexually (performance anxiety) is closely connected to ED. Feelings of inadequacy or negative emotions can cause or exacerbate ED, leading to other negative feelings that worsen the cycle. Sometimes, seeking help from a mental health professional can improve ED.

ED treatments are oral tablets taken by mouth. Generally, the medications should be taken 30 to 60 minutes before sex and not used more than once daily. Be sure to carefully follow your provider’s prescribing guidelines.

Common side effects of erectile dysfunction treatments include facial flushing, headaches, upset stomach, dizziness and nasal congestion. These symptoms are typically mild and may diminish over time. In rare cases, more severe symptoms can occur. Seek medical care immediately if you experience decreased vision, hearing loss or an erection lasting more than 4 hours.

An erectile dysfunction pill can interact with other medications such as nitrates, azole antifungals, macrolide antibiotics and HIV protease inhibitors such as Indinavir and Ritonavir. These medications may make you dizzy or cause vision problems, especially when combined with alcohol or marijuana (cannabis). Talk to your medical provider about your medical history and provide a comprehensive list of your current prescriptions.

Yes. While an online ED doctor can help you get ED medicine online, your primary care physician should know about all the medications you take. Erectile dysfunction is a common symptom of other health problems. So it’s important that you talk to your primary care physician about routine health maintenance.
