What causes erectile dysfunction, and when should it be medically assessed in Europe?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) explained: vascular causes, hormonal factors, psychological triggers, medication effects, and clinical evaluation.

In this episode, we outline the most common causes of ED and how doctors distinguish temporary performance issues from underlying medical conditions.

You’ll learn:

• How reduced blood flow (vascular disease) affects erections

• The link between ED and cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, and smoking

• The role of testosterone and other hormonal imbalances

• How stress, anxiety, and depression contribute

• Medications that may impact erectile function

• When ED may signal early heart disease

• Situations where prescription requests may be declined pending cardiovascular assessment

We explain how doctors assess symptom duration, erection quality, morning erections, lifestyle factors, medication history, and cardiovascular profile during an online consultation in the EU. ED is often multifactorial and may require laboratory testing or specialist referral.

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