What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual activity. Occasional difficulty is normal and not necessarily a cause for concern. However, ongoing ED can affect self-confidence, cause stress, and impact relationships. The good news is that ED is highly treatable, and most men see significant improvement with proper treatment.

ED Medications We Prescribe
Our doctors can prescribe FDA/EMA-approved medications known as PDE5 inhibitors, which are safe and effective for most men:
Sildenafil (Viagra)
The most well-known ED medication. Works within 30-60 minutes and lasts 4-6 hours. Best taken on an empty stomach.
Available in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg doses
Tadalafil (Cialis)
Known as the "weekend pill" due to its longer duration—up to 36 hours. Can be taken with or without food. Also available as a daily low-dose option.
Available in 5mg (daily), 10mg, and 20mg doses
Vardenafil (Levitra)
Similar to sildenafil but may work slightly faster. Lasts 4-5 hours. May be better tolerated by some men.
Available in 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg doses
Avanafil (Spedra)
The newest PDE5 inhibitor. Works fastest—as quickly as 15 minutes. Fewer food interactions than other options.
Available in 50mg, 100mg, and 200mg doses
Important Safety Information
ED medications should NOT be taken if you:
- Take nitrates for chest pain (nitroglycerin, isosorbide)
- Use recreational drugs containing nitrates ("poppers")
- Have severe heart disease or recent heart attack/stroke
- Have very low blood pressure
- Have been advised against sexual activity by a doctor
Always disclose your full medical history and current medications during your consultation.
Beyond Medication: Lifestyle Changes
While medication is effective, lifestyle changes can significantly improve ED and overall health:
- Exercise regularly: Improves blood flow and cardiovascular health
- Maintain a healthy weight: Obesity is a major risk factor for ED
- Quit smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels
- Limit alcohol: Excessive drinking can cause or worsen ED
- Manage stress: Stress and anxiety contribute to ED
- Get enough sleep: Poor sleep affects testosterone levels
- Address underlying conditions: Control diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol
ED Can Be a Warning Sign
Erectile dysfunction can sometimes be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease. The same processes that affect blood flow to the penis can affect blood flow to the heart. If you're experiencing ED, especially if you're under 50 with no obvious cause, it's worth discussing cardiovascular risk factors with your doctor. Our consultations include a health assessment to identify any potential underlying concerns.
