Erectile dysfunction treatment online

Same-day consultations are available 365 days a year, with priority booking if you’re in a hurry. Once the doctor approves treatment, your eScript can be on your phone within minutes, and consultations are private, discreet and conducted by Australian doctors.

No. A video or phone consultation with a doctor is required before any prescription can be issued. The doctor needs to assess your health, your medications and whether treatment is safe for you; a questionnaire alone is not enough, and services offering medication without a real consultation don’t meet Australian standards.

The video or phone consultation is $29.99, including the doctor’s assessment and, where appropriate, a prescription sent as an eScript to your phone or pharmacy. Repeats are available, subject to assessment. Cost of medication itself is subject to your chosen pharmacy’s pricing. The doctor may instead recommend further investigation if that’s what your situation needs, which is the right medicine even when it means no script that day. No Medicare is needed for the appointment itself, but providing these details will enable eScripts and PBS prescriptions where required.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) or impotence is the inability to get or keep an erection which is firm enough for sexual intercourse. Many men experience this issue now and then- for example if they are under stress. However, for some, it can be a more ongoing and troublesome problem, and if this is the case, it’s important to make sure there are no underlying causes.

A variety of issues can lead to erectile dysfunction:

• Reduced blood flow to the penis

This is the most common cause of erectile dysfunction in men over 40 years. The arteries which take blood to the penis can become narrowed and the blood flow may be insufficient to cause an erection. Smoking, raised cholesterol and obesity can be contributing factors to this.

• Damage to nerves supplying the penis

This may be due to a neurological condition, such as multiple sclerosis or stroke, or spinal injury/surgery

• Diabetes

Diabetes is another common cause of ED and can affect the blood flow and the nerves to the penis. If you are concerned about diabetes you should see your doctor for a blood test.

• Alcohol

In the short term alcohol can reduce blood flow to the penis, and in the long term it can reduce testosterone levels and reduce sex drive. Excessive drinking (more than 10 units per week) can have a number of other negative effects on your health.

• Psychological causes

Stress, anxiety and depression are very common, and can cause or contribute to erectile dysfunction.  If you feel you may be suffering from any of these problems, you should speak to your GP.

Erectile Dysfunction can be caused by a variety of medical and psychological issues. If you wish to access treatment for Erectile Dysfunction online it is very important to see a doctor first for a proper check-up and physical examination, to rule out any underlying conditions.

Several types of medication can lead to erectile dysfunction, so if you develop problems with getting or sustaining an erection soon after starting a new medication, you should speak to your doctor (it’s usually advisable not to stop any medication suddenly, without consulting your doctor). Common culprits include:

• Blood pressure and heart medications, particularly thiazide diuretics (“water tablets”) and some beta-blockers.
• Antidepressants, especially SSRIs and SNRIs which commonly affect sexual function
• Opioid pain medications, particularly with longer-term use, which can lower testosterone
• Medications used for treating hair loss and prostate enlargement
• Spironolactone, which is used for blood pressure, heart failure and some skin conditions
• Some antipsychotic medications
• Older sedating antihistamines

Alcohol, smoking and recreational drugs can also contribute. Before you seek treatment for erectile dysfunction, you should discuss your health and any medications you’re taking with your doctor.
