You’ve probably asked yourself two critical questions: “Is ED permanent?” and “Can this problem be fixed?”
The good news is in most cases, no it’s not permanent and yes it can be fixed!
The first — and biggest — hurdle to correcting your ED is having the courage to talk about it. The sooner you seek medical guidance, the sooner you can start treatment to get back to a more fulfilling sex life.
If you’ve been struggling with ED recently, or for some time now, book an initial ED consultation and take the first step to rediscovering a healthy sex life.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction refers to difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection sufficient for penetration. The condition prevents a man from having sex or finishing sex.
Experiencing occasional difficulties with erections is not usually a cause for concern. However, if erectile dysfunction persists over time, it can lead to stress, anxiety, strained relationships, and diminished self-confidence. This condition used to be called impotence.
While many men may feel embarrassed and hesitant to seek medical help and advice, it’s important to recognise its prevalence. Our clinicians prioritise discretion, empathy and understanding in addressing such concerns.
Studies show that ED is more common that people realise; indicating that over half of men aged 40 to 70 encounter some level of ED.
Having the confidence to book an ED consultation marks the first step towards a healthier and more fulfilling sex life.

What could have caused my ED?
There are many factors that can affect the blood flow and the quality of the blood vessels in the penis. ED can result from medical problems, medication, emotional factors, or a combination of these.
Some known causes and risk factors or ED are:
- Being over a certain age (although it can happen at any age)
- Being overweight – Obesity is a common factor related to ED.
- Having high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease or high cholesterol
- Depression, fatigue, and sleeping disorders
- High stress levels
- Relationship problems – Arguments and bad communication can make the bedroom an uncomfortable place.
- Low testosterone
- Tobacco use, heavy alcohol consumption, and other substance abuse all tend to constrict blood vessels, which can lead to or worsen ED.
Occasionally, a patient may have a combination of factors contributing to erectile dysfunction. Finding and treating the reason for ED is vital.
