Procedure at a Doctors Office if you have ED issues and want Viagra or similar

I am wondering how difficult it is to obtain something for ED, think my levels for desire are starting to decline. But want to weigh it up against the intrusion by physicians etc.

Not hard (har, har!) at all where I live. I just asked my doctor and he prescribed first Cialis and when that no longer did it for me, a Viagra generic called Avigra.

Johnny.

You seem to be saying you have a reduced sex drive. Erectile dysfunction is something different, where you do have desire but have difficulty achieving and maintaining an erection. I think you need to have some clarity about what your problem actually is.

Perhaps the medical professionals can weigh in on this.

All you have to do is ask. If you don't have a medical issue that contradicts its use they should give you an RX. When I first saw a urologist at about age 50 he asked me if I wanted some free samples without me even saying a word about ED problems.

Intrusion by physicians? What do you mean? I agree with Dr Z that a diminished desire would not be helped by ED drugs. You might want to consider being worked up by a urologist.

Your doctor will do some simple things including a genital exam and DRE. There will likely be some blood work because there are more than a few conditions that can lead to either ED or low libido.

If you're shopping for a blue pill or other ED drug, you're trying to treat yourself and you have a fool for a patient. Do things the right way. Get a diagnosis before a treatment.
