Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (impotence) is common. It becomes increasingly common with age, affecting 40% of men over the age of 40.
What is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile Dysfunction (impotence) is the frequent inability to get and/or maintain an erection.
There is no need to worry about the occasional failed erection. This is normal and is generally a result of other factors such as excessive alcohol, tiredness or stress. However, if failed erections continue for over three months it may be time to seek medical advice.
There are various causes of erectile dysfunction, both physiological and physical including:
- increasing age
- medical conditions such as hypertension, heart disease and diabetes.
- lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol and medications
- prostate, bladder and bowel surgery
The sooner erectile dysfunction is treated, the better the outcome.

What happens at a consultation?
Every man is different, but here’s what to expect from a typical treatment plan with our expert doctors:
Our initial consultation
At our initial consultation, we’ll review your medical history, including current health, chronic conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors. We’ll discuss psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, and depression as well as the current erectile dysfunction symptoms you’re experiencing.
Once we have understood your condition, we will determine if further medical investigation is necessary or appropriate, and we will determine a customised treatment plan to get your erectile function and sexual function back on track.
Your treatment plan may include one or a combination of the following:
- oral medication such as sildenafil or tadalafil
- customised injection therapy, using medication such as Prostin (alprostadil), and other vasodilators
- lifestyle advice, if it is likely to be of benefit.
We aim to deliver robust medical assessment and treatment, in a supportive way, with clear communication.
The initial consultation with the Doctor takes 30 minutes and is $230 plus medication or injections.
Ongoing Support and Follow-up
During the initial period of treatment, we’ll closely monitor your progress and together we’ll refine your treatment to achieve the best possible outcome.
