Deciding to seek treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) is an important step toward improving your health and quality of life. But what should you expect during your first consultation? How can you prepare to ensure that you get the most out of your visit? In this article, we’ll guide you through the process to help you prepare for your first ED treatment consultation in Orlando.
What to Expect During Your Consultation
Your first ED consultation is where you’ll begin to get the help you need to conquer erectile dysfunction. It’s an opportunity to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals with a medical expert on male sexual health. Here’s what typically happens during the visit:
- Medical History Review: We will ask about your medical history, including any conditions, medications, and previous treatments related to ED.
- Symptom Discussion: You’ll disclose your ED symptoms in detail, including when they started, how they’ve progressed, and how they’re impacting your life.
- Physical Examination: A physical exam may be performed to assess your overall health and identify whether there may be any physical causes of ED.
- Treatment Considerations: Based on your history and symptoms, as well as any identified potential causes, we will discuss treatment options. Most patients will benefit most from getting treatment with GAINSWave® Therapy and/or P-Shots.
- Next Steps: We will recommend a personalized treatment plan and explain the next steps, including any additional tests or follow-up visits.
How to Prepare for Your Consultation
To ensure that your ED consultation goes well, you can prepare by doing the following:
- Gather Your Medical Records: Bring any relevant medical records, including information about current medications, past treatments for ED, and underlying health conditions. Many patients are unaware that seemingly unrelated health conditions (including emotional and psychological conditions) can have an impact on ED and should be discussed during your consultation.
- Prepare Your Questions: Write down any questions you have about erectile dysfunction and your treatment options. You should feel free to ask anything about ED and its treatments (this is not the time to be shy). This will help ensure that all your concerns are addressed during the consultation.
- Be Honest About Your Symptoms: The more open and honest you are about your symptoms and how they’re affecting you, the better we can tailor your treatment to your needs. If you need to, write a list of your symptoms and bring it with you to your appointment.
- Consider Bringing a Partner: Bringing your partner is not necessary, but it may be beneficial for both you and them. If you feel comfortable, bring your partner to the consultation for additional support and to help them understand the treatment process.
