About Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED), sometimes called impotence, is when you cannot get an erection, or cannot keep one long enough to have sex. You may still get erections at other times, such as when you wake up.
Very common, particularly in men over 40. Most men sometimes have problems, usually because of stress, tiredness or alcohol. This is nothing to worry about.
Yes, treatment can usually help. Options include lifestyle changes, tablets that increase blood flow to the penis, vacuum pumps, and treating the cause.

Frequently asked questions
Occasional problems are usually caused by stress, tiredness or alcohol. Frequent problems may be caused by high blood pressure or cholesterol, diabetes, depression or anxiety, hormone problems, or a medicine side effect.
It depends on the cause. Treatment can usually help. If ED is caused by something that can be changed, such as a medicine, stress or alcohol, dealing with that may help.
Not usually. Occasional problems are common and pass. If it keeps happening, see a GP, as treating the cause or using treatment can usually help.
Some medicines, including some for high blood pressure, can cause ED as a side effect. Do not stop a prescribed medicine yourself. Talk to your GP or pharmacist, who may be able to switch it.
Yes, diabetes is one of the conditions that can cause it. See a GP if ED keeps happening.
The NHS does not recommend any food, drink, herbal remedy or supplement as a treatment for ED. Some products sold online as natural have been found to contain hidden prescription medicines, which can be unsafe. The lifestyle changes above can help. Speak to a pharmacist before trying any supplement.
The main treatments are still tablets that increase blood flow to the penis, vacuum pumps, and treating the underlying cause.
Yes, from a pharmacy (one type) or through an online consultation with a UK-registered prescriber. If ED keeps happening, it is still worth seeing a GP to check for an underlying condition.
Only from a GPhC-registered pharmacy after a health check. Many websites sell fake medicines.
There is no instant fix that suits everyone. Tablets that increase blood flow to the penis can help when taken before sex, but a pharmacist or prescriber must check they are safe for you first. Treating the cause, such as stress or a medicine side effect, can take longer.
They can play a part. The NHS lists smoking and drinking too much alcohol as possible causes, and stopping smoking and cutting down on alcohol can help.
It depends on the type of tablet. Most work for a few hours, and one type lasts longer. The patient leaflet, and your pharmacist or prescriber, will tell you how long yours works and how often you can take it.
