Talking to your Doctor
It's understandable to feel a little uncomfortable talking to your doctor about sex and ED. But overcoming your discomfort with the topic may be the best thing you can do to improve your health and to restart intimacy with your partner. ED may be an indicator of more serious health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, so it's important to talk to a doctor if you are concerned. Your doctor will ask you questions in order to make a proper diagnosis and prescribe the treatment that will be best for you. Remember, your doctor is there to help you and is quite familiar with ED as well as the latest treatments – so don't be embarrassed. It may be awkward to bring up the subject, but you'll be glad you did. If you want to prepare for your doctor's visit, have a look at the topics below. The best way to determine if Cialis® is right for you is to see your doctor for an ED assessment. If you're not sure what to ask your doctor, print off and complete the Men's Health Checklist and take it with you, or here are some conversation starters and questions you can print out and take with you. Questions to Ask Is it possible that medicines I take cause me to have erection problems? Can having high blood pressure cause erection problems? Can sexual activity pose any health risks for me? Can you tell me more about Cialis? Is Cialis right for me? Will Cialis work for me? What to Expect When you visit your doctor for a physical examination, the doctor will probably ask you questions about your general health and if anything different or new is bothering you since your last visit. At this point you can mention that "your love life isn't what it used to be" or that "you've seen advertisements about treatments for ED such as Cialis." Or you can simply ask what ED stands for and your doctor will explain what it means and ask you if you're having any related problems. While sex is a sensitive subject for many people, talking about it with your doctor can be easier than you think.		Download a Men's Health Checklist
