Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Overview
What Is Erectile Dysfunction?
Erectile dysfunction is an unwanted, unpleasant and emotionally draining experience which is surprisingly common in men over the age of 40. Through discreet, fully confidential consultations, we are able to help those suffering from this problem with highly effective erectile dysfunction treatments.
Commonly called ‘ED’ or ‘impotence’, about 40% of men over the age of 40 have at some time or another have experienced some form of erectile dysfunction. This is an unwanted, unpleasant and emotionally disturbing experience. In more than 95% of cases, erectile dysfunction can be treated.
It’s always important to seek erectile dysfunction help because sometimes impotence may be a symptom of an underlying illness such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, nerve damage or even a depressive state.
What Are The Symptoms Of Erectile Dysfunction?
This may seem obvious to most people, but some of the actual symptoms of ED may surprise you:
- Difficulty achieving an erection
- Reduced sexual desire
- Softer erections
- Premature ejaculation
- Delayed or absent ejaculation
It’s important to note that occasional difficulty with erections is common and may not necessarily indicate erectile dysfunction. However, if these symptoms persist, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and appropriate guidance.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
ED can result from a combination of physical and psychological factors. Here are some common causes:
- Physical Health Conditions:
-
- Cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and hypertension.
- Diabetes, which can affect blood flow and nerve function.
- Neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.
- Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone levels.
- Obesity, which can contribute to cardiovascular issues and hormonal imbalances.
- Medications:
-
-
- Some medications, such as those for hypertension, antidepressants, and certain sedatives, may have side effects that contribute to ED.
-
- Psychological Factors:
-
-
- Mental health issues such as stress & anxiety can interfere with sexual performance.
- A mood disorder such as depression can impact libido and sexual function.
- Strained relationships and relationship problems may contribute to ED.
-
- Lifestyle Factors:
-
-
- Smoking damages blood vessels and restricts blood flow.
- Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to temporary or chronic ED.
- Illicit drugs can affect sexual function.
-
- Age-related Changes:
-
-
- Ageing itself can lead to a natural decline in sexual function, but ED is not an inevitable part of ageing.
-
- Psychological Trauma:
-
- Previous traumatic sexual experiences or emotional trauma may contribute to ED.
How Do You Treat Erectile Dysfunction?
Assuming that you are in general good health, tablets such as Viagra or Cialis (known as PDE5 inhibitors) can be effective erectile dysfunction cures.
The appropriate tablet will be chosen for you and you will be counselled as to all the benefits and side effects of your erectile dysfunction treatment. You may also need some hormone preparations to assist you.
How Long Does The Erectile Dysfunction Treatment Take?
Once the consultation and investigations are done and erectile dysfunction treatments commence, the clinical response is very quick.
How Many Treatments Are Necessary?
Usually, you will have a series of well-spaced follow-up erectile dysfunction appointments with Wimpole Aesthetics to repeat your prescription and monitor your progress.

Dr. Natalie Hammer, brings 14 years of medical experience to her practice, with a significant focus of 8 years dedicated to aesthetics. She is a registered physician with extensive expertise in the field.
Is Erectile Dysfunction treatable?
Yes, ED is treatable. Treatment options depend on the underlying cause and may include lifestyle changes, medications (such as PDE5 inhibitors), or other interventions.
How do PDE5 inhibitors work?
These ED medications enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical in the body, which relaxes muscles in the penis and increases blood flow.
Are there natural remedies for ED?
Some people try lifestyle changes, herbal supplements, or acupuncture, but their effectiveness is not scientifically proven.
Healthy lifestyle choices, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol, can positively impact ED.
What our patients say
Natalie and Dr Josh have been incredible in boosting my confidence and my skin! They truly listen and deliver 100% natural results every time. Natalie is completely honest, professional, has integrity and that’s why I trust her fully. Wimpole clinic have a much greater range of cutting edge treatments beyond anti wrinkle treatment that have resulted in my skin improving with age. It’s mad but true. They always assess what is right for my face and my skin on the day and advise according to what my skin needs. I’ve been going to Wimpole Aesthetics for years now, initially drawn to their incredible IV boosts but am now unable to ever turn back. Class, quality and aesthetic results that are truly worth it!!!
Dr Josh is a caring and knowledgeable doctor, his consultation is very detailed, he answered all the questions that I am concerned. Dr Natalie did the filler and skin booster, she takes care of me a lot, even after the treatment she still cares about me, I booked the review after two weeks, highly recommended! Btw, they have a Chinese speaking staff so don’t worry if you are not familiar with medical terminology!
An unpretentious practice. Approachable team with honest, friendly advice. Dr Joshua is amazing and I would recommend him to anyone. He doesn’t prioritise making money like other practices- he will tell you honestly whether you need treatment or not. Acting on clients best interests and well being.

I have been living with scarring above my upper lip, as a result of electrolysis treatment 25 years ago, in the form of a deep vertical line and small indentations in the skin. I sought help from Wimpole Aesthetics, and from the moment that I entered the small, personal clinic I was totally put at ease and welcomed by the extremely professional and friendly team. I received a course of Mesotherapy and Dermapen treatment and am absolutely delighted with the results. I had almost given up on ever having smooth line-free skin above my upper lip again. I highly recommend letting Wimpole Aesthetics take care of you.
Having lived in Australia for over 10 years, my skin had suffered mild sun-damage and had developed a lot of discolouration on my face in particular. Also, as I approached the age of 40, I noticed a lot of wrinkles appearing! I decided to have Microdermabrasion treatment and the improvements after just 3 treatments were extremely encouraging. I have booked a further 2 treatments in coming months and I am so excited about seeing further benefits to the look and texture of my skin.
