How can you get hard and stay hard, and when do erection problems require medical assessment in Europe?

Erection problems explained: erectile dysfunction (ED), blood flow, nerve signalling, hormone balance, psychological factors, and treatment criteria.

In this episode, we provide a physician-led overview of how erections work and how doctors evaluate and manage erectile dysfunction under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• The physiology of erection (vascular, neurological, and hormonal components)

• Common causes of ED: cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low testosterone, anxiety

• The link between ED and heart health

• Lifestyle strategies: smoking cessation, exercise, weight management

• How PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) improve penile blood flow

• Side effects and contraindications, including nitrate use

• Situations where prescription requests may be declined pending cardiovascular assessment

We explain how doctors assess erection quality, duration, morning erections, medication interactions, testosterone levels, and overall cardiovascular risk during an online consultation in the EU. ED can be an early marker of systemic disease and should be properly evaluated before treatment.

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.
