What Causes Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Up to 80% of ED cases have a physical (organic) cause—often linked to underlying health issues like cardiovascular disease.
Other possible causes include:
Aging
Medication side effects (e.g., SSRIs)
Mental health factors like anxiety or depression
Lifestyle risks such as smoking, alcohol use, or obesity
How Do ED Treatments Work?
Common ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are called PDE5 inhibitors. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain an erection during sexual arousal.

What are your telehealth options for ED treatment?
iVisitDoc offers private virtual visits for men seeking evaluation and treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED). If appropriate, your provider may prescribe medications such as sildenafil (Viagra) or tadalafil (Cialis) and send them to the pharmacy of your choice.
Can I use my health insurance for iVisitDoc visits?

What happens if my provider can’t treat ED through telehealth?

Can I message my provider after the visit?
Yes. You’ll have access to secure post-visit messaging to ask follow-up questions about your treatment or medication plan.
Can I request a refill for ED medication?
Yes. If your prescription is still medically appropriate, your provider may approve a refill or renewal request after reviewing your health information.

About ED Treatment
Do erectile dysfunction medications work?
Yes. Prescription ED medications like sildenafil (Viagra) and tadalafil (Cialis) are clinically proven to help many men get and maintain erections when sexually stimulated.
What’s the difference between ED medications?
The main difference is how long they last:
Sildenafil (Viagra) works for about 4–6 hours
Tadalafil (Cialis) can last up to 36 hours
Your provider can help choose the best option based on your health and preferences.
How many tablets can be prescribed through Pay-per-visit?
You may be prescribed up to 6 tablets per visit, depending on your health history and provider’s clinical judgment.
How safe are ED medications?
When prescribed appropriately, ED medications are safe and effective. However, they may not be right for you if you have heart disease, uncontrolled high blood pressure, or take medications like nitrates. Your provider will review your history first.
Are there natural ways to improve erections or make them last longer?
Healthy lifestyle habits may help, including:
Regular exercise
Weight management
Limiting alcohol and avoiding tobacco
Managing stress and anxiety
These changes may support better blood flow and overall sexual health, but they don’t replace medical treatment if needed.
Can I get treatment for premature ejaculation (PE)?
Yes. iVisitDoc providers can evaluate your symptoms and may recommend prescription medications, topical treatments, or behavioral strategies to help manage PE.
Can I get ED treatment if I don’t get erections at all?
Yes, but your provider may recommend additional testing or in-person care if no erection occurs under any circumstances, as this may indicate an underlying medical issue that needs further evaluation.
Can I get testosterone testing through Pay-per-visit?
No. iVisitDoc does not currently offer lab testing for testosterone levels through telehealth. If low testosterone is suspected, your provider can refer you for in-person lab work.
Can I get penile injection therapy through Pay-per-visit?
No. iVisitDoc does not prescribe penile injections for ED via telehealth. This treatment requires in-person training and monitoring.
Do supplements help with erectile dysfunction?
Some over-the-counter supplements claim to support sexual function, but most lack strong scientific evidence and may contain unregulated or unsafe ingredients. Talk to your provider before using any supplements.
