How to Talk to Your Doctor About Erectile Problems
To talk to your doctor about erectile problems, say it in one plain sentence, bring a list of your medicines and supplements, and expect questions about health, sex and mood. Mayo Clinic says to start with your main healthcare professional. The AUA expects a history, an exam and selective tests, so the visit is routine for them (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction) (AUA, Erectile Dysfunction Guideline).

What do you say first?
One sentence is enough. The doctor has heard it many times.
Mayo Clinic says to start with your main healthcare professional if you are worried about erections (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction). NIDDK says research suggests 30 to 50 million men in the United States have ED (NIDDK, ED definition and facts). You are not unusual.
"I am having trouble getting or keeping an erection, and I would like to find out why."
"This has been going on for about two months, and it is affecting my confidence."
Say how long, how often and whether it is new. Add any other symptoms. Mayo Clinic says to see a doctor if other symptoms come with ED (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction).
What should you bring?
| Bring | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| All medicines | Antidepressants, blood pressure medicines, antihistamines and others can cause ED (NIDDK, ED causes) |
| All supplements and herbs | Tell providers about all supplements; some can interact with medicines (NCCIH, Using Dietary Supplements Wisely) |
| Health conditions | Diabetes and heart disease are linked causes (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction) |
| Habits | Smoking, alcohol and activity are listed factors (NIDDK, ED causes) |
| Mood and stress | Anxiety and depression can cause ED (NIDDK, ED causes) |
What will the doctor ask and do?
The AUA says men with ED symptoms should have a thorough medical, sexual and psychosocial history, a physical exam and selective lab testing (AUA, Erectile Dysfunction Guideline). The guideline also says a morning total testosterone should be measured (AUA, Erectile Dysfunction Guideline).
- Questions. When it began, whether morning erections occur, and how you feel.
- Exam. A physical check, often with blood pressure.
- Tests. Selective labs, possibly a morning blood sample (MedlinePlus, Testosterone test).
- Plan. NIDDK says clinicians treat the underlying cause when possible and may adjust medicines (NIDDK, ED treatment).
ED can be a sign of a health condition that needs treatment, which is why the doctor looks wider than the bedroom (Mayo Clinic, Erectile dysfunction).

See packsHow do you list supplements without embarrassment?
Read from the label. Say the product name, the amount per serving and how often you take it. NCCIH says to tell your health care providers about all the supplements you use (NCCIH, Using Dietary Supplements Wisely). NIDDK adds that you should talk to your health care professional before using dietary supplements (NIDDK, ED treatment).
If you take Stallion Power, the label shows 1 gummy a day, 30 gummies in a bottle, and an 82 mg proprietary blend with nine named lines, including 5 mg of caffeine. See the supplement facts. Include every prescription.
Keep taking prescribed medicine. NIDDK says not to stop medicines on your own (NIDDK, ED treatment). If you take nitrates for chest pain, do not use ED drugs without asking a doctor (MedlinePlus, Sildenafil).
Do not order ED medicine online before consulting a clinician (NIDDK, ED treatment). Products sold for sexual enhancement may hide drugs (NCCIH, Using Dietary Supplements Wisely). See supplements and medications.
