Schedule an appointment if erectile dysfunction (ED) interferes with your sex life or causes significant distress. Don’t wait longer than three months if you consistently experience difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection. If ED develops suddenly, seek medical advice immediately.
Underlying Health Concerns
Consult a doctor if you suspect ED might stem from a medical condition. This includes diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or neurological disorders. These conditions often require tailored treatment plans, influencing ED management.
If ED accompanies other symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or vision changes, get immediate medical attention. These could signal a serious underlying health problem requiring urgent care.
