Primary care physician

Many men start with their primary care physician. This is usually their family doctor and is familiar with their health history. They may perform a physical exam and order tests to determine the cause of ED. If necessary, they will refer you to a specialist. For example, if laboratory tests indicate diabetes or prediabetes, you may be referred to an endocrinologist. Some family doctors prefer to initially treat ED with oral medications (tadarise tablet, vidalista tablet, Kamagra tablet, malegra tablet) and if that doesn't work, refer you to a specialist.

Urologist

Unless you have specific health conditions that require treatment, your first referral will probably be to the urologist. These doctors specialize in treating urinary tract and reproductive system problems. They will evaluate you for prostate problems, such as excessive urination, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer.

Mental health professional

A psychiatrist, psychologist, or therapist can help deal with ED. If your ED is caused by psychological problems, such as depression or anxiety, these professionals can provide treatment. ED can also cause stress or relationship problems. A mental health professional can help you cope with these effects of ED.

Pharmacist

If you are taking ED medications, your pharmacist can answer questions about the medication, its side effects, and how you should take it. In addition, your pharmacist keeps track of all the medications you take and can alert you if there are drug interactions.

Trainer or exercise coach

Regular physical activity can reduce the symptoms of ED. Participating in a supervised exercise program designed to meet your physical and medical needs can be helpful in your ED and beyond.

Your significant other

One of the most important people on your treatment team is your significant other. Ask your partner to accompany you to doctor's appointments and learn about ED. The more you both understand about this health condition, the better you can work together to find the best treatment.

As you manage your health care, your treatment team may change. For example, you might start with a urologist but learn that diabetes or heart disease is the cause of your ED, and so find a specialist in those areas. Keeping track of your health is a big job, so it's also important to send all your health records to your primary care doctor. That way, one person can help coordinate all of your care.
