Question 1

Where do I start if I'm not sure what's causing the problem?

Accepted Answer

With an assessment. Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation can each have several contributing causes, and treatment is matched to what's actually found — not assumed from symptoms alone.

Question 2

Is Penile Doppler always required?

Accepted Answer

No. It's used when a vascular cause needs to be evaluated specifically, not as a routine step for every patient.

Question 3

Is shockwave therapy a first-line treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. It's one option that may be considered for selected patients after assessment, not a stand-alone starting point.

Question 4

Do you also see premature ejaculation, not just erectile dysfunction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Premature ejaculation is assessed with the same specialist approach, considering behavioural, psychosexual, medical and — in selected cases — procedural options.
