Erectile Dysfunction: Assessment and Treatment
Medically reviewed by Dr Vafa Derakshan, MBBS, FRACGP · AHPRA MED0001663310 · Last reviewed: 23 September 2026
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common and treatable. It can also be an early warning sign of heart disease or diabetes, so a good assessment looks at your overall health, not just the prescription.
Your assessment
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, general health, medicines and lifestyle. They may send a pathology request for blood tests, for example for diabetes, cholesterol and testosterone. A full assessment also includes a blood pressure check and physical examination, which your regular GP can do in person.
Treatment
The most common treatment is a prescription tablet. If it's suitable for you, your doctor can send an eScript to your phone. Other options include injections, vacuum pumps, rings and implants. You may be referred to a urologist if tablets don't work, or if there's a curve or injury to the penis.
Important safety information
- Never take ED tablets with nitrates, including chest-pain sprays or tablets, or with amyl nitrite ("poppers"). The combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
- A painful erection that won't go down (priapism) needs urgent medical treatment.
- If sexual activity could be unsafe for your heart, talk to your doctor first.
Your sexual health
If you've had a new partner, an STI check is a good idea at the same time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get ED medication online?
Yes, if it's suitable for you. Your doctor will assess your health by phone or video and can send an eScript to your phone.
Why does the doctor ask about my heart health?
ED can be an early warning sign of heart disease or diabetes, and ED tablets aren't safe for everyone, so checking your overall health is part of safe prescribing.
Can I take ED tablets with poppers?
No. ED tablets must never be combined with nitrates, including poppers or chest-pain medicines, because of the risk of a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
What if the tablets don't work?
There are other options, including injections, pumps and implants. Your doctor can refer you to a urologist.
