How do I bring up ED at a urology visit?

What the conversation looks like with us

Men raise erection concerns with us often, and they're seen for them at our Marietta, Canton, Jasper and Dallas clinics alike. You can say it in a single sentence when you check in or when the clinician asks what brought you in. We'll ask how long it's been happening, whether morning erections still occur, and what medicines you take.

How our urologists approach ED

Erection changes can reflect blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol or low testosterone, so we look at your overall health as well as the symptom itself. Treatment usually starts with simple steps and pills, and can move to low-intensity shockwave therapy, a vacuum device or an implant if needed. You decide how far to go.

Helpful things to bring

• A list of your medicines and supplements
• Recent blood work from your primary care doctor
• Notes on what you've already tried and how it worked
• Any questions your partner would like answered

Call (678) 344-8900 or book online whenever you're ready.

If talking face to face feels awkward, write it on the intake form and we'll take it from there.
