Erection difficulties

Erection problems can have a profound effect—on you personally, your relationship, and your self-confidence. You may feel uneasy discussing it, and we completely understand. At Doctoronline, you can tackle this issue safely, discreetly, and with professional medical guidance.

The causes of erection problems differ from person to person. Factors such as stress, ageing, or an underlying physical condition may play a part. Health concerns like high blood pressure or sleep apnoea can also contribute. That’s why, at Doctoronline, your request is always assessed by a certified EU doctor. This ensures that the treatment is both medically appropriate and tailored to your individual needs.

Medical treatments: more than just Viagra

There are several reliable treatments available to help you regain control over your erections. These medications are available in three forms:

  • Tablets – simple and quick to take
  • Cream – applied directly to the area
  • Injection – suitable for more severe cases of erectile dysfunction  

Some medications take effect within 30 to 60 minutes, while others remain effective for up to 35 hours. The best choice depends on your personal preference: do you prioritise spontaneity, or would you prefer to plan in advance?

Our partner pharmacies supply only certified medications that comply with the strictest European safety standards. An EU-licensed doctor will review your medical questionnaire before prescribing a treatment. This ensures a safe and carefully managed approach.

Not sure which treatment is best for you? With Doctoronline's decision aid, you can easily find the option that suits your preferences and health.
