What help is available for erection problems, and when should erectile dysfunction be medically assessed in Europe?

Erection problems explained: erectile dysfunction (ED), vascular causes, hormonal factors, psychological triggers, and treatment criteria.

In this episode, we outline how erectile difficulties are evaluated and what evidence-based treatment options may be considered under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• The medical definition of erectile dysfunction

• How blood flow, nerve function, and hormones affect erections

• The link between ED and cardiovascular disease

• When lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, weight management) are first-line

• How PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil or tadalafil work

• Common side effects and contraindications (e.g., nitrate use)

• Situations where prescription requests may be declined pending cardiovascular assessment

We explain how doctors assess erection quality, symptom duration, morning erections, medication use, testosterone levels, diabetes status, and overall cardiovascular risk during an online consultation in the EU. ED can be an early marker of heart disease and requires proper medical evaluation.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where sexual health consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU prescribing guidance.
