Since sexual intercourse is a significant physical exercise, it is important to make certain that the activity is safe. A frank discussion with a health care practitioner should occur if the patient has significant heart disease, stroke, and/or poorly controlled high or low blood pressure.
As with all prescription medications, it is important inform the health care practitioner or pharmacist if there has been a change in the patient's medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, to prevent drug interactions and side effects.
Medications like such as sildenafil (Viagra), Tadalafil (Cialis), and vardenafil (Levitra) are allowing patients to have more fulfilling sexual experiences, although they may not work for every individual. If an underlying medical condition is the cause of erectile dysfunction, addressing and treating that condition may be all that is needed. Other alternative therapies that are available include injectable medications, hormonal replacement therapy, and surgical implants. If appropriate, psychological counseling may be helpful.
The diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction will occur if the patient allows the health care practitioner the opportunity to help. Often the step in making the first appointment is the hardest one.
