Can Lifestyle Changes Cure Erectile Dysfunction? Research & Options

Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects many men, impacting quality of life and confidence. While lifestyle changes can play a significant role in improving erectile function for some, medical treatments like Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) are often necessary. If you're looking to get an ED medication prescription online from an EU-licensed doctor, Hi-Doctor offers a fast, discreet, and affordable solution. Our EU-licensed doctors review your case individually for just €25. If appropriate, you receive a valid REMPE electronic prescription in under 24 hours, valid at any pharmacy across the EU. If treatment isn't appropriate, you pay nothing — we refund your €25.

How it works — get your ED medication prescription in 4 steps

1. Fill the online medical questionnaire (2–3 minutes) and pay the €25 consultation fee.
2. A licensed EU doctor reviews your case in private. If the doctor determines the treatment is not appropriate for you, your €25 is refunded automatically — no risk.
3. If approved, you receive a REMPE electronic prescription (PDF file) in your Hi-Doctor account and by email within 24 hours.
4. Print the PDF or show it on your phone — present it at any pharmacy in the EU (Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Ireland, etc.) to collect the medication.

Who qualifies for ED medication

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your medical history and current health to determine if ED medication is appropriate. They look for:

• A confirmed diagnosis of Erectile Dysfunction.
• No contraindications to PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Sildenafil, Tadalafil), such as severe heart conditions, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or a history of stroke.
• You are not taking nitrates or alpha-blockers, which can dangerously interact with ED medications.
• You are over 18 years old.

The doctor's review ensures your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment.

What ED medication actually does (and doesn't do)

ED medications like Sildenafil (Viagra) and Tadalafil (Cialis) are known as PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated, helping you achieve and maintain an erection firm enough for satisfactory sexual intercourse. They do not increase libido or provide an erection without sexual arousal. Results typically appear within 30-60 minutes for Sildenafil and can last up to 36 hours for Tadalafil.

Side effects and when to stop

Common side effects of ED medications can include headache, flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, and visual disturbances. These are usually mild and temporary. More serious but rare side effects include a sudden decrease or loss of vision or hearing, or an erection lasting longer than 4 hours (priapism). If you experience any severe side effects or an erection lasting too long, seek immediate medical attention. Always follow the doctor's instructions and discontinue use if advised.
