About Sexual Health

Sexual problems are common and usually more treatable than people expect. Yet embarrassment keeps many men and women silent for years, sometimes turning to unverified “remedies” instead. A sexual health specialist listens without judgement and looks for the real cause, which can be physical, emotional, or both.

When to See a Sexual Health Specialist

Difficulty getting or keeping an erection most of the time
Ejaculating too early, or being unable to ejaculate
Low or no interest in sex that bothers you or your partner
Pain during or after sex
Anxiety about sex or performance that is affecting your relationship

Online or In-Clinic?

For many people, an online consultation is the easiest way to start this conversation privately. Most sexual health concerns can be discussed, and often treated, online. If the doctor suspects an infection or another condition, they may ask for tests or an in-clinic visit.

Get Medical Help Straight Away If You Notice

An erection that lasts more than four hours
Sudden, severe pain in the penis or testicles

Contact your nearest healthcare provider straight away, or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can erection problems be a sign of another health condition?

Sometimes. Erection problems can be an early sign of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease, because these affect blood flow. That is one more reason to see a doctor instead of just buying tablets.

Are “power” supplements sold online safe?

Many unregulated products claim to boost performance, and some contain hidden prescription drugs or harmful ingredients. Medicines for erection problems can also interact dangerously with some heart medicines. Take them only on a doctor’s advice.

Is it normal to lose interest in sex?

Desire naturally varies with stress, tiredness, relationship issues, medicines, hormones and stage of life. It is only a problem if it bothers you or your partner. A doctor can check for physical causes and suggest what may help.

Will my consultation be private?

Doctors are bound by patient confidentiality, and you do not have to share anything you are not ready to. It is fine to start by describing the problem in your own words; a good doctor will guide the conversation from there.
