Understanding ED

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It affects around 4.3 million men in the UK — approximately 1 in 5 — and becomes more common with age, though it can affect men at any stage of life.

ED is not a character flaw or a sign of weakness. In most cases it has clear physical or psychological causes that respond well to treatment. The most important step is getting an accurate assessment from a qualified doctor.

ED can sometimes be an early indicator of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. A proper medical assessment isn’t just about treating the symptom — it’s about your overall health picture.

Physical causes

Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, hormonal imbalances, certain medications.

Psychological causes

Stress, anxiety, depression, performance anxiety, relationship issues, past trauma.

Mixed causes

Most cases involve both physical and psychological components that can reinforce each other over time.

Lifestyle factors

Smoking, excess alcohol, recreational drug use, lack of exercise, and poor sleep quality.

of men over 40 experience ED — yet fewer than 1 in 4 seek treatment

ED can signal underlying cardiovascular issues — early assessment matters

Psychological factors play a role in the majority of cases

First-line treatments are highly effective for most men

Common Questions

Common questions about ED treatment

Yes. Our assessment process is entirely written. You do not need to appear on camera or speak to anyone by phone unless you choose to. Your named doctor reviews your written assessment and may send follow-up questions by message.
Your GP is informed of your treatment in line with UK clinical guidelines. You control who has access to your medical information. We do encourage patients with complex health histories to keep their GP informed, but this is always your choice.
Most assessments are reviewed within 24 hours on weekdays. Once approved, medication is dispatched for next-day delivery in plain, unmarked packaging.
If your initial prescription doesn't produce the results you hoped for, your doctor will review your case and adjust your plan. This is included in your ongoing care and there are no additional assessment fees.
Certain medications — particularly nitrates (e.g., GTN spray) — are contraindicated with common ED treatments. Your doctor will review all your current medications during the assessment to ensure safety.
Some patients use medication on an as-needed basis; others prefer a daily low-dose approach. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate strategy based on your health profile and how you want to use it.

All ED treatments are subject to a full clinical assessment by a GMC-registered doctor. Not all medications are suitable for everyone — contraindications include use of nitrate medications (e.g. GTN spray) and certain heart conditions. Your doctor will advise based on your individual health profile.
