Your provider will review the information that you provide in the questionnaires and perform a physical exam. A psychologic assessment may be recommended as a first step or included in your treatment plan.

You will undergo a physical exam and, when appropriate, a psychological assessment.

You may also undergo:

  • Lab testing

  • Evaluation of blood vessel elasticity and cardiovascular risk assessment
  • A Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow to the penis

Your provider will review your testing, provide a summary of findings and recommend a treatment plan.

Treatments and Therapies

Treatments and therapies may include:

  • Oral medications
  • Medications inserted into the urethra
  • Medications injected into the shaft of the penis
  • Use of a vacuum erection device (VED)
  • Therapy with a sexual psychologist
  • Referral to a urologist for evaluation for a penile implant, if applicable

A copy of your evaluation will be mailed to both your urologist and primary care clinician.

If you are found to be at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease, we will make recommendations to your urologist or primary care physician to lower this risk, or will refer you to a cardiologist.

Balancing chronic medical conditions with sexual health can help to maintain healthy relationships and wellbeing throughout all stages of life.
