Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Sydney

Difficulty getting or keeping an erection firm enough for sex, often enough that it bothers you. About half of men aged 40 to 70 have some degree of it.¹ It’s common, and usually treatable.

Usually a mix: blood vessel health, diabetes, blood pressure, hormones, medicines, alcohol, smoking, sleep, stress and anxiety.¹ Finding the mix is the point of the assessment, because the treatment follows the cause.

Yes. Stress, anxiety, low mood and performance pressure can cause erection problems on their own, and they make a physical cause worse. One bad night can start a cycle of worry that keeps it going. That’s why head space is part of every assessment, and counselling or sex therapy is one of the options.

It can happen at any age, and it becomes more common with time: about half of men aged 40 to 70 have some degree of it.¹ In younger men, anxiety is more often part of the picture, but physical causes still need ruling out.

By a doctor talking to you and examining you: when it started, morning erections, desire, your health, your medicines, and blood pressure, with blood tests for sugar, cholesterol and hormones where they’ll change the plan. There’s no single test, and no questionnaire that replaces the conversation.

Yes. Men with erectile dysfunction have a higher risk of heart attack and stroke,³ and in one study of men with both, two in three noticed the erection problems first, by an average of about three years.² That’s why we check your heart health, not just your erections.

Often it can be improved a great deal, and sometimes the cause can be fixed outright. Weight loss and exercise restored normal erections in about a third of obese men in one trial,⁴ and changing a medicine or treating a hormone problem can help too. When it can’t be cured, it can usually be managed well.

The one that matches the cause. For some men that’s a prescription, for others it’s weight, sleep or a medicine change, pelvic floor training, or help with anxiety. Often it’s a combination, and it’s reviewed until it works.

Online services are convenient, and for some men they’re enough. But a questionnaire can’t examine you, check your blood pressure or blood sugar, or ask why it started. If it’s new, getting worse, or you have other health conditions, see a doctor. That can be us.

Possibly, for some men, but it isn’t proven. One randomised trial found a clear benefit for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction at six months; another found no difference from placebo.^5,6 Larger, longer studies are needed. If PRP is discussed, you’ll hear both sides.

‘P-Shot’ is a trademarked name for one branded protocol of penile PRP. The idea is the same: platelets from your own blood, placed in the penis. We don’t use the trade name and aren’t part of that network. What matters more is how the PRP is prepared, who it suits, and what the evidence says.

Numbing is used first, and most men describe brief, mild discomfort. Some tenderness or bruising for a day or two is common.

They can. A proper programme of pelvic floor exercises improves erections for some men. It works best taught properly, and practised for months.

Yes. It’s worth checking at any age. Stress and anxiety are often part of it in younger men, but physical causes still need ruling out.

Not necessarily. If the cause can be treated, some men need less, or none. Others use medication only when they need it. Your plan is reviewed, not repeated on autopilot.

A face-to-face consultation at Male by Cleon is $100, which comes off your treatment if it’s done on the day, and a private video call is free. Treatment is priced in consultation, because it depends on what the assessment finds. If you’re coming for a medical concern, ask us what applies with Medicare when you book.
