Dr. Brown, it's quite hard for me to discuss it, but I suspect having ED - and I really want to do something about it.
You are free to discuss ED (erectile dysfunction) with your physician during your usual medical exam. Your healthcare assistant will ask you if anything bothers you or anything has changed since your last visit and this is the perfect moment to tell him or her that something bothers you.
Having problems with finding the right words with your doctor? A good start is giving your physician a completed "Could It Be ED?" Quiz. Then it is time to describe your situation. Something like this:
1.I'm not quite comfortable about saying this, but I have some issues with erection. In case it's erectile dysfunction I want to know more about Cialis.
2.I ran across a Cialis ad lately and have been hearing a l ot about erectile dysfunction. I feel that I have it too and want to know more about it.
3.People say that impotence can be a sign of more serious health issues. I want to learn about it, but feeling a bit nervous.
4.Can my health condition or any drug that I'm taking cause erectile dysfunction
Keep in mind, that all the information you give to your doctor is confidential. So there's no reason for hiding something and being no fully honest. The straighter and informative your answer is, the easier it is for your doctor to fully understand the situation and find possible treatment options for you. It is a team work between you and your physician, and the better you collaborate, the easier it will be for you to regain your sexual abilities. |
