When Should You See a Doctor for Erectile Dysfunction?

If ED is persistent, worsening, new, or affecting your quality of life, medical evaluation is reasonable. ED can sometimes be connected with cardiovascular, metabolic, hormonal or medication-related issues.

Make an appointment if

  • Erection problems are happening repeatedly.
  • The change is new or unexplained.
  • You also have diabetes, vascular disease, high blood pressure or other chronic conditions.
  • You suspect a medication is contributing.
  • You have low desire, fatigue or other symptoms that could suggest a hormone issue.

What to bring up

Be ready to discuss medications and supplements, when the problem started, whether morning erections still occur, whether desire has changed, and whether the problem happens in every situation or only some situations.

Urgent issue: An erection lasting more than four hours requires emergency medical attention. Sudden vision or hearing changes after an ED medication also warrant prompt medical care.
