  • How long have you had difficulty with erections, and did it start gradually or suddenly?
  • Do you still get morning erections?
  • Have you tried any ED medicine before? Which, what dose, and how well did it work?
  • Which treatment would you prefer?

  • Most recent blood pressure reading, if known
  • Do you have diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol?
  • Any sudden loss of vision in one eye, or a diagnosis of retinitis pigmentosa?
  • Any history of an erection lasting more than 4 hours, sickle cell disease, leukaemia or myeloma?

When we'll say no

These answers stop the request and route you to a consultation instead.

  • Nitrates with ED medicines can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure — absolutely contraindicated.
  • Cardiac symptoms need assessment before ED treatment.
  • These make PDE5 inhibitors unsuitable.
  • Increased risk of priapism — needs review.
  • These symptoms need to be assessed by a doctor directly.
