Erection problems (or erectile dysfunction)
Erection problems (or erectile dysfunction) is a very common medical concern. Studies have shown that as many as half of all men over the age of 40 years in the USA experience some degree of problems with getting and keeping their erections. Unfortunately 90% of men remain undiagnosed because they do not seek treatment. This is made even more remarkable because the treatments available are highly effective provided they are used correctly. They are also very safe provided genuine medicines are taken and they are supplied in response to a prescription after a consultation with a qualified doctor.
If you have Erection Problems (erectile dysfunction) seek treatment...
The impact of suffering in silence with erection problems can be catastrophic on your self confidence, your love life and your relationships. This should be reason enough to seek help but recent research now provides a greater reason to seek treatment with your doctor. Erection problems are now widely recognised by doctors as early warning signs for other potentially more serious cardiovascular (heart and circulation) problems.
Erection Problems can be an early warning sign for heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes so seek treatment...
Men with heart problems or high blood pressure often suffer with erection problems, but new research has now shown that having erection problems is a predictor that heart and circulation problems might be around the corner. Erection problems are caused by insufficient blood flow to the penis, and this is often caused by furring up of the arteries associated with high cholesterol and smoking. Because the arteries in the penis are smaller, the blood flow to the penis can become a problem before the blood flow to the heart, the brain or the legs. Reduced blood flow in these areas is associated with heart disease, strokes and high blood pressure, which are the biggest killers of men in the Western world. In 93% of men with both erection problems and coronary artery disease, the erection problems came first by an average of 2 years.
These facts mean it is now even more important to seek medical treatment if you have erection problems. Talking to your doctor about these matters can be difficult and it is natural to feel embarrassed. Preparing for your visit to the doctors will help alleviate any nerves. The following websites help in this process and also offer a great deal of other useful advice and information. Why not try visiting

Online consultations
If you really can not face a visit to your GP, then it is far better to undertake an online consultation with a fully qualified UK doctor than trying to simply buy Viagra on the internet. Buying prescription only medicines on the internet without consulting a doctor is a very risky business. In many cases you will not receive a genuine supply. Even though the packaging may look the same, counterfeit medicines which will not work or can be very dangerous are not unusual.
In all cases the treatments for erectile dysfunction should only be taken on a doctors advice because they can be dangerous for certain people or when taken with other medicines. That is why a UK registered doctor and a UK registered pharmacy should ensure the safe use and supply of your medicines. This can be achieved through an online consultation with a reputable provider.

Avoid Paying too much
Unless you have an underlying medical condition such as diabetes or multiple sclerosis, the NHS does not pay for the main treatments of erection problems. In this case your doctor will give you a private prescription that means you have to pay for the full cost of the medicine and also any dispensing fee the pharmacist chooses to charge. Big differences can exist depending on where you take your prescription to be dispensed. This means that it is important for you to find the best price available to you.
Highly competitive prices are available at Pharmacy2U.
Getting the most from your treatment
Once you have received your treatment, it is important that you give them a chance to work. It may take a few tries before things leap to life, but many patients are not told this and expect the medicines to work like magic. The important things to remember are:
In all cases you will need sexual stimulation even when you have taken your tablet.
Wait a while after taking your tablet. To be safe wait an hour after you take your tablet, although 30 minutes will be OK in many cases.
Get used to having erections again. If it has been a while since you had an erection, we recommend a low risk trial when you first try your treatment. Take a tablet, wait the appropriate length of time (see below) and then try to masturbate. It is better this way than promising your partner the earth and then finding the extra pressure causes your erection to fail. Give yourself a few trial runs first.
Increase your dose. If things do not work as well as you hoped, but you did not experience side effects, ask your doctor if you can try increasing your dose, say from 50mg of Viagra to 100mg. If you are uncertain you could also ask your pharmacist.
It may take up to eight attempts. Getting used to having erections and finding the right dose can mean that you should give yourself eight attempts before you decide that your medicine is not working.
Even if after eight attempts you have not had success, please do not give up. In many cases a similar but different medicine can work, or other forms of treatment other than a pill can be offered. Go back to your doctor and seek further help.
