Why the right doctor matters

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can have many causes—heart disease, diabetes, low testosterone, medications, or psychological stress. The right doctor will look for underlying issues, rule out serious health conditions, and provide safe treatment options. Choosing carefully ensures both effective results and peace of mind.

Types of doctors for ED

  • Primary care doctors: Often the first point of contact, can prescribe initial medications.
  • Urologists: Specialists in male sexual and urinary health who can offer advanced treatment options.
  • Endocrinologists: Address hormone-related causes such as low testosterone.
  • Telemedicine providers: Discreet online evaluations with licensed clinicians, often more convenient and private.

What to look for in an ED doctor

  • Board certification and experience treating ED patients.
  • Ability to discuss multiple treatment options, not just one.
  • Clear communication about risks, side effects, and realistic outcomes.
  • Commitment to privacy and patient-focused care.

Questions to ask your doctor

  • What could be causing my ED?
  • What treatments do you recommend for my situation?
  • Are there lifestyle changes that may help?
  • What are the potential side effects of treatment?
  • How often should I follow up?

Telemedicine for ED treatment

Online evaluations through platforms like Precision RX Telemed allow patients to discreetly complete an intake form, consult with a licensed clinician, and, if appropriate, receive prescriptions delivered by a U.S. pharmacy. It’s a convenient and private way to begin treatment without leaving home.

Why many men choose telemedicine: Privacy, convenience, fast access to care, and no waiting room visits.

When to seek urgent help

ED itself is rarely an emergency, but it can signal underlying health concerns like cardiovascular disease or diabetes. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience chest pain, sudden vision loss, or an erection lasting more than 4 hours.
