What Are the Easiest and Safest Treatments Available?

If you have a straightforward case of Erectile Dysfunction (for example, if you are a 65-year-old diabetic) who would like rapid treatment, a general urologist is often a good starting point. Your doctor should take a thorough history and perform a basic evaluation. This should include a focused physical exam, measurement of penile sensation and a basic check of hormones. Your physician should explain your available options thoroughly. Most often, the first course of action will be to prescribe an oral medication. The side effects of any medication should be explained to you and a prescription written. You should then have follow-up exams on a regular basis. If the oral medication is not working well for you, you should be clearly informed that there are a number of other effective options available to you.
