Questionnaire
Use this checklist to reflect on symptoms, timing, risk factors, and triggers that may influence erections. Answer honestly and note patterns over time.
- Have you had difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection on more than one occasion?
- How long have the difficulties been present (weeks, months, longer)?
- Do erections improve in some situations (e.g., mornings, masturbation) but not others?
- Is sexual desire (libido) reduced, unchanged, or increased?
- Do stress, anxiety, or relationship concerns seem to trigger or worsen the issue?
- Have you noticed changes after starting or stopping any medications or supplements?
- Do alcohol, smoking, or recreational substances play a role?
- Are there medical conditions in your history (e.g., blood pressure, diabetes, heart concerns)?
- Have you experienced pelvic surgery, injury, or chronic pain?
- Do erections vary with sleep quality or fatigue?
- Have you tried lifestyle changes (exercise, weight management) and noticed differences?
- Are there side effects or discomfort during sexual activity?
- Is the difficulty consistent with one partner or across situations?
- Do you feel low mood or loss of confidence related to performance?
- Have you previously used any erection-related pills or aids? If yes, what was the outcome?
How to interpret answers
This section helps you gauge whether seeking help might be useful. It does not confirm a cause.
- Low reason to seek help: Occasional issues, clear situational triggers (stress, fatigue), improvement with rest or reduced alcohol, no ongoing distress.
- Medium reason to seek help: Recurrent difficulties over weeks, mixed situational patterns, possible medication or lifestyle links, growing concern or confidence impact.
- High reason to seek help: Persistent problems for months, reduced morning erections, notable health conditions, pain, or significant emotional strain.
Next steps: what to do
- Self‑monitor: Track frequency, timing, and context for 2–4 weeks.
- Record triggers: Note stress, sleep, alcohol, meals, and exercise.
- Review medications: List prescriptions and supplements to discuss with a clinician.
- Choose a specialist: Start with a primary care clinician; they may refer to urology or endocrinology.
- Prepare questions: Ask about safety, interactions, and non‑pill options.
