Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Online

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection that is firm or long enough for sexual intercourse. If you have ED, you’re not alone - ED is a common problem affecting 51.3% of Singaporean men above the age of 30.

Men with erectile dysfunction (ED) persistently experience difficulty getting or sustaining an erection that is firm and long enough for sex. This may present in various ways, including:

• - Difficulty achieving an erection at all
• - Erections that are not firm enough for intercourse
• - Erections that do not last long enough to complete sexual activity
• - Loss of erection during foreplay or penetration
• - Decreased frequency or absence of morning or spontaneous erections

Erectile dysfunction (ED) may be caused by physical or emotional factors or both.

Age isn’t the only cause of ED. Many other physical risk factors may cause blood flow to the penis to decrease, making an erection difficult. Common chronic medical conditions that may cause ED include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and heart disease. Other risk factors that involve your lifestyle include obesity, lack of exercise, smoking and alcohol intake.

ED may also be due to emotional factors, such as relationship conflicts, stress, anxiety and depression.

Certain prescription medications may be blamed for ED too. If you are on any medications or have any other medical conditions, inform our doctors during the video consultation/ note them down in the questionnaire.

The answer is both! Erectile dysfunction (ED) may be temporary, especially if caused by stress, alcohol, medication or performance anxiety. On the other hand, chronic ED is often due to chronic medical conditions or obesity.

No! While both are forms of sexual dysfunction, they are different and should not be confused with each other. PE, also known as rapid ejaculation, premature climax or early ejaculation, refers to when a man ejaculates too quickly or sooner than he or his partner would like. Think you may have PE?

Clinical studies have generally demonstrated that all erectile dysfunction medication are effective for treating ED and no particular erectile dysfunction medication is superior to the others. Each medication has particular advantages (act faster, last longer, work regardless of food intake, etc) and disadvantages. With enough information, a qualified medical provider can help you find an ED medication and dosage that is right for you.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) medication are part of a class of drugs known as PDE5 inhibitors.

Sexual arousal triggers a response in your body that then triggers nitric oxide production, which relaxes the blood vessels and smooth muscle in the penis. This allows a rush of blood to flow into the penis where it’s trapped, creating a hard or erect penis.

After ejaculation, an enzyme in the penis (PDE5) shuts this process off and the penis releases any trapped blood and the erection subsides.

ED medications work by blocking PDE5 and preventing this shut off. The result is an engorged penis that remains erect for longer.

Simply put, ED pills improve blood flow to the penis during arousal, allowing you to get and sustain an erection when sexually stimulated.

In Singapore, erectile dysfunction (ED) medications are prescription drugs and cannot be legally sold over-the-counter. Any website, doctor or person who sells ED medications without a prescription is breaking the law and may be selling potentially dangerous counterfeit drugs. According to Pfizer, the manufacturer of Viagra, Viagra is one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world.

Speak with a licensed doctor online through Siena from the comfort of your home, and have your medication delivered to you if prescribed.

Common side effects of erectile dysfunction (ED) pills include headaches, flushed skin, muscle aches, back pain, upset stomach, diarrhoea, stuffy nose and slight dizziness.

On very rare occasions, ED medications can cause priapism - a prolonged and usually painful erection. If you experience erections that last longer than 4 hours or sudden vision or hearing loss, seek medical attention immediately.

You must not take erectile dysfunction (ED) pills with grapefruit juice or if you are on heart disease drugs that contain nitrates. Doing so can cause a dangerous fall in your blood pressure. You are also advised not to drink alcohol excessively before taking ED pills, as alcohol can temporarily impair your ability to get an erection. Alcohol can also temporarily lower your blood pressure, leading to dizziness, headache and heart palpitations.

Men who are also on nitrate-containing medications for heart conditions should not take erectile dysfunction (ED) pills. If you are on alpha-blocker medications for urinary symptoms, take them at least 4 hours apart from ED pills as they may also lower your blood pressure. If you have any other medical conditions or if you are on any other medications, inform our doctors during the video consultation/ note them down in the questionnaire.

The best way to improve your erectile function is to take a multi-pronged approach. ED medications work best in the long term when combined with positive lifestyle changes that promote overall health. Keep a healthy lifestyle! Lose weight if you are obese, exercise regularly and maintain a low-fat diet. You should also quit smoking and reduce drinking alcohol. Reducing stress or seeking counselling services if you have depression, anxiety or other mental concerns will also help reverse ED. If you have other chronic conditions such as diabetes, ensure that you keep them under control.

Yes, erectile dysfunction (ED) can be diagnosed remotely by a doctor based on your medical history and symptoms! You will fill up a questionnaire and speak with a licensed doctor via video consultation. It is important to answer all questions truthfully and to the best of your ability. This ensures that our doctors can diagnose your condition accurately and come up with the best treatment plan for you.

Although erectile dysfunction (ED) is more common with age, ED is not normal. Thankfully, ED is easily treatable, and most men who seek treatment can maintain a healthy sex life.

Persistent erectile dysfunction (ED) may indicate an underlying heart condition, such as atherosclerosis where your arteries are clogged with fatty substance or high blood pressure. It may also be a warning sign of poorly controlled or undiagnosed diabetes, as well as other rarer but more serious conditions that affect the nervous system. You may want to discuss your health concerns with our doctors during the video consultation.

Having low levels of testosterone is associated with a reduced sex drive, which can lead to ED. Alongside a healthy lifestyle, testosterone support such as Medlac Testosterone Booster Plus helps to maintain your body's natural testosterone production. While supplements support the healthy production of hormones, you may need to address low levels of testosterone with a doctor.
