HOW IS ED DIAGNOSED?

Generally speaking, if you cannot gain an erection strong enough for penetration at least 50% of the time you should be screened for erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is primarily diagnosed through a comprehensive medical and sexual history. Some additional tests and possibly a physical examination are also required when erectile dysfunction is secondary to other pathologies and chronic illnesses.

IS ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION AND IMPOTENCE THE SAME?

The first step is always a comprehensive medical consultation and psychological screening to discover what treatment methods will be most effective for you and most importantly, to uncover if there is something more serious causing your ED. Once we have established a baseline and potentially an underlying cause we co-ordinate the treatment process for you so that we can find you the most effective treatment and strength. It could be a treatment from a variety of treatment options and delivery methods. It all depends on you and your body.
