Walk in ready to talk openly. Leave with a plan.
General guidance to help you make the most of your visit. Not a substitute for medical advice.
Erectile dysfunction is common and treatable, and it can also be an early signal about your wider health, so an honest account helps your doctor find the cause. Here is what to prepare, what to ask, and how to follow up.
Track when the difficulty happens, whether it is every time or some of the time, and how long it has been going on. Note whether it came on gradually or suddenly, and whether morning erections still happen.
Write down anything else going on, like stress, low mood, fatigue, or relationship strain. List your current medications, alcohol and smoking habits, and any history of diabetes, heart, or blood pressure conditions.
Expect your doctor to ask about your health and habits, check things like blood pressure, and possibly order blood tests. Lead with your notes so the visit focuses on finding a cause, not just the symptom.
Take notes as the doctor talks, record the meeting (with their permission!) in myStoria, or add a quick voice note to myStoria as soon as possible afterward so that you are not relying on memory alone.
Before you leave the clinic, ask for copies of anything from the visit, like lab results, assessments, or referrals, and upload them to myStoria to keep your history complete. (If you aren't able to get copies, connect with Concierge and we can help you source them!)
After the visit, track whether the plan is helping and note any side effects or changes. A clear record helps you and your doctor adjust the approach.
If you have an erection that is painful and lasts more than four hours, seek urgent care right away. And if chest pain or breathlessness comes on with exertion, treat that as an emergency.
myStoria keeps your symptoms, relevant habits, and history in one private place, so your appointment starts from a clear picture rather than an awkward start. It stays with you between visits, so a follow-up builds on the last. And when you want to talk something through, you can schedule a video consult in advance with a member of our team, several of whom are nurses.
This page offers general information to help you prepare for and follow up on your erectile dysfunction appointment. It is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
