How can you bring up the subject of erection problems?*

Can you help me doctor... ?

  • I don't think my sex life is all that it could be
  • Sex is not what it used to be and I'd like to improve it
  • I'm having problems with my erections
  • I'd like to ask you about treatments to improve my sex life

Can you tell me doctor... ?

  • Are my erections normal for my age? – I'm having some problems...
  • Why is my erection not like it used to be?
  • Why am I having difficulty getting an erection?
  • Can erection problems be treated?
  • Do the treatments for erection problems really work?

You could also assess your erections using our questionnaire and print out the results to show your doctor. This may help your doctor understand what is happening with your erections.
