More about your care

What is it?

Sexual performance anxiety is excessive worry about one's own sexual performance, creating a fear-of-failure cycle that ends up interfering with the sexual response. It can affect erection, ejaculation and desire.

It is one of the most common causes of sexual difficulties, especially in younger men, and is often confused with pure erectile dysfunction. The difference matters because the approach is distinct.

The doctor can help distinguish whether the main problem is anxiety or whether there is an underlying organic cause. In many cases, a combination of psychological guidance and, when necessary, occasional pharmacological support can break the anxiety cycle.

Read the full condition information

Performance anxiety is more common than pure erectile dysfunction. The doctor helps tell one from the other and decide the next step.

HOW COMMON IT IS

A very common cause of sexual difficulties, especially in younger men. Many cases of erectile dysfunction have a significant anxiety component.

CAUSES

  • Pressure to meet self-imposed or partner expectations
  • Previous experience of sexual failure
  • Rigid beliefs about sexuality
  • General or work-related stress
  • Lack of communication with partner
  • Perfectionism or high self-demand

TREATMENT APPROACHES

  • Sex therapy or psychological counselling (cognitive behavioural therapy)
  • Mindfulness techniques and anxiety reduction
  • Sexual education and expectation restructuring
  • Partner communication
  • Occasional medication if concomitant erectile dysfunction exists

WHEN TO SEE A DOCTOR

If worry about performance is recurring and affects your sex life or relationship, a doctor can help distinguish it from other problems and guide the most appropriate treatment.

Performance anxiety falls within sexual health, but it isn't always the primary indication of our treatments. The doctor reviews your case and tells you clearly whether Performance anxiety fits our current scope or whether you should be referred on.
An individualised medical review within sexual health, no algorithms. If your case is eligible, we propose a treatment plan with clinical evidence and EU authorisation. If it isn't, the doctor tells you and the consultation is refunded.
The doctor tells you during the consultation and points you to the most appropriate route. Hi Doctor does not issue prescriptions outside the scenarios we can review safely via telemedicine.
Yes. Hi Doctor runs 100% online across the EU, so from Zagreb you can fill in the questionnaire and receive the medical review without travelling. The EU-licensed doctor issues the electronic prescription under Directive 2011/24/EU, and each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it; outside Spain some pharmacies do not accept PDF prescriptions, and those that do dispense the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
Yes. All communication happens in the private chat of your account, GDPR-compliant. The doctor treats discretion as a core of the service and there is no history visible outside your consultation.
The private electronic prescription (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) is issued by an EU-licensed doctor. It is a PDF carrying every field required by EU Directive 2011/24/EU (patient, prescriber with country of registration, active ingredient, dose). Each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense it. In Spanish pharmacies it is dispensed from the QR; outside Spain, some pharmacies do not accept PDF prescriptions, and those that do dispense the locally marketed equivalent of the same active ingredient.
