Frequently Asked Questions
Impotence can be caused by a variety of factors including age, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, obesity, smoking, certain medications, and underlying conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
A general practitioner and urologist will be able to further assess the condition to understand the underlying cause.
Erectile dysfunction can often be treated with lifestyle changes, medications, therapy, or surgery, depending on the underlying cause. Having an accurate diagnosis is the first step to managing the condition.
Erectile dysfunction can sometimes indicate underlying health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension. The doctor will be able to conduct a full assessment to investigate underlying conditions.
Erectile dysfunction can affect men of all ages. While it is more common in older men due to age-related health changes, younger men can also experience erectile dysfunction due to factors such as stress, anxiety, lifestyle habits, or underlying medical conditions.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, balanced nutrition, stress management, and avoiding smoking or excessive alcohol can significantly improve sexual health. Schedule regular check up with your doctor for specific recommendations.
Low libido can result from physical or emotional issues. If you’re experiencing low sex drive, it’s important to consult with a doctor who can help identify any underlying causes such as hormonal imbalances, stress, or medication side effects.
Wearing supportive underwear, maintaining a healthy diet, avoiding excessive heat exposure, and practicing safe sex can all contribute to maintaining testicular health.
A testicular self-exam involves gently rolling each testicle between your thumb and fingers to check for lumps, swelling, or changes in size.

It is important to consult a doctor if you notice any of these symptoms.
Men should discuss prostate cancer screening with their doctor, usually around age 50 or earlier if there’s a family history.
Screening typically involves a blood test for PSA (prostate-specific antigen), a digital rectal exam and other imaging diagnosis if required.
Men commonly face challenges like stress, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Due to stigma, men may be less likely to seek help, which can worsen these conditions over time.
Signs can include persistent sadness, irritability, loss of interest in activities, fatigue, changes in appetite or sleep, and feelings of hopelessness. If these symptoms interfere with your daily life, it’s time to seek help.
Start by sharing your feelings honestly with a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare professional. It’s okay to ask for help.
