How to Start an Online Erectile Dysfunction Consultation

To start an online ED consultation with The Independent Pharmacy, all you need is an internet connection and a device like a phone, tablet, or computer. Expect the questionnaire to take less than 3 minutes. Answer honestly about your ED symptoms, medical history, and medications you take.

Erectile dysfunction can cause anxiety and relationship tension. It is normal to feel worried. Finding treatment often eases these worries. Before your consultation, take a moment in a peaceful setting to reflect on your situation and goals. This self-reflection is a brave step towards understanding and managing your ED, and we are here to guide you through it.

The Online Consultation Process for Erectile Dysfunction

When you have an online consultation about ED through The Independent Pharmacy, health experts carefully evaluate your symptoms, lifestyle, medical conditions, and current medications.

They assess overall erectile function, including issues like weak erections or trouble maintaining erections needed for sexual activity. The experts also consider blood flow and circulation. Health factors like high blood pressure can sometimes contribute to erectile problems.

You will be asked questions about your situation and history with ED. For example:

  • Can you always get an erection when you need it?
  • Have you taken any ED treatments before?
  • Have you ever had a painful erection?

Medications for other conditions can also sometimes interfere with erectile ability. Providing full information helps our team make proper treatment recommendations based on your unique needs.

Exploring Treatment Options During Your Online ED Consultation

During online consultations at The Independent Pharmacy, health experts talk about therapies that may help manage erectile dysfunction symptoms:

Oral Medications

  • Pills can help increase blood flow into the penis for stronger, longer-lasting erections. Examples are Sildenafil (the generic form of Viagra) and Tadalafil (the generic form of Cialis, also known as the “weekend pill” because it works for up to 36 hours). These require a prescription.
  • Oral medicines work best when there is stimulation, like touching from a partner. They do not automatically cause an erection.
  • Doctors consider your medical history and ED severity to recommend suitable medications. People with some conditions like heart disease may not be candidates.
  • If pills are advised, clear instructions are provided on proper dose, pill strength, and usage frequency based on your needs. For instance, some ED medications should be taken 30-60 minutes before sexual intercourse. Others are taken daily.

Lifestyle Changes

  • Improving diet, exercising regularly, reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking can relieve ED issues related to blood flow.
  • Understanding and controlling health factors like blood pressure and cholesterol can prevent the worsening of erectile function over time.
  • Doctors may suggest managing stress and relationship counselling for psychological causes of ED.

After the Consultation: Next Steps

If the experts determine that the medication is suitable, they can provide an online prescription through The Independent Pharmacy. The pills are delivered quickly to your home in discreet, plain packages. No one else needs to know.

However, if there are issues with the preferred treatment of erectile dysfunction, our team will discuss alternative treatments or recommend seeing a GP

Be sure to follow the medical team’s exact recommendations on how to take your ED prescription medication. Never adjust doses or usage instructions on your own without consulting the doctors first.

Common side effects from oral ED drugs may include:

  • Headaches
  • Flushing in the face or neck
  • Stuffy nose
  • Muscle aches

Contact your consultation team if adverse effects do not go away after a few doses or if new concerning symptoms develop. They can adjust your treatment plan as needed over time.

But if you experience serious or persistent side effects, don’t hesitate to seek out immediate medical attention.

You also get complimentary access to guides about managing erectile dysfunction through lifestyle choices like healthy diet, exercise, stress relief techniques and more. Take advantage of this wealth of expert advice available through your consultation and The Independent Pharmacy website.
