What is Erectile
Dysfunction?
In medical terms, erectile dysfunction or impotence is generally described as the inability to get and keep a penis erect or firm enough for sexual intercourse.
Suffering from erection issues every once in a while is not really a cause for concern as it can be due to stress and other factors like lack of self-confidence and the pressure to perform well in bed. However, if erectile dysfunction continues to persist, cause stress, affect your mental health, relationship and self-esteem, you might need professional help.
The inability to grow or keep an erection can also signify underlying health issues and conditions that need to be treated before they spiral out of control and increase your health risks for heart diseases.
If you have erectile dysfunction, there’s nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Seek a doctor’s help, and they’ll be able to assess your situation and provide a diagnosis and suitable treatments and medications based on your case.
Sometimes, treating the underlying issues and conditions can also positively affect your erection issues, while in other cases, you might need treatments and medication to resolve your erectile dysfunction.

How to Prevent Erectile Dysfunction
There are many ways you can avoid erectile dysfunction, but nothing beats the effectiveness and efficacy of making healthy choices and living a healthy, active life. Get regular checkups for heart conditions, diabetes, and other chronic health conditions, especially as you age.
Avoid using drugs, drinking, and smoking as much as you can, relax and take a breather to reduce stress and anxiety, and lastly, get help for your mental health issues.
Diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction
The ED diagnosis begins with questions about vascular health, erection problem and your heart health. The healthcare may also physically examine, refer to a Urologist or order lab tests. The diagnosis determines the type of treatment you will need. Healthcare providers also inquire about your lifestyle and health history. It is important to share all the facts including any substance misuse, drug intake, alcohol and smoking problems. Doctors also ask questions about your mental health such as any stressors. The key to getting the right treatment is to be honest with your care provider so they can find the best treatment option for you.
Questions You Should Expect During Virtual Diagnosis
Our virtual doctor for erectile dysfunction may ask the following questions:
- Do you take recreational drugs?
- How much do you smoke or drink?
- What supplements, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines do you take?
- Do you have other untreated and treated health conditions?
- Do you experience problems when urinating?
- Have you undergone any radiation therapy or surgery in the pelvic area?
Besides questions about your health, the doctor will inquire about your ED problem. This helps determine whether the underlying problem is due to your erection function, orgasm, desire for sex or ejaculation. These may seem embarrassing and private but it helps find the root cause and thus, the right treatment.
What Constitutes An ED Physical Exam
A physical exam for ED assesses overall health. Besides your genitals, the doctor may also examine age-based risk factors such as blood pressure, heart health and peripheral pulses. Thedoctor may also examine the rectum. These tests aren’t harmful or painful.

Generally speaking, both impotence and erectile dysfunction are often used interchangeably. However, there are significant differences in terms of the connotations they both carry. On the one hand, erectile dysfunction is used to describe a range of penis conditions, such as the occasional inability to get or keep an erection to a mild degree or failure to maintain and achieve an erection. On the other hand, impotence is a much more persistent condition and refers to a complete inability to get an erection. Both issues are related to erection and the inability to maintain one, but one is considered more long-termed than the other.
