Start your search with your GP. They can perform an initial assessment, rule out underlying medical conditions, and refer you to a specialist if needed.
Alternatively, you can directly search for specialists using online directories like the Australian Medical Association (AMA) website. Filter by specialty – look for Urologists or Andrologists. These doctors have expertise in male reproductive health.
- Urologists: Deal with urinary tract and male reproductive system issues, including ED. Andrologists: Specialize in male hormone issues and fertility, frequently treating ED.
Consider location and appointment availability when choosing. Many specialists offer online consultations, potentially saving travel time. Check individual doctor profiles for their experience and areas of expertise within ED treatment.
Check online reviews – sites like Google Reviews or HealthEngine can offer patient perspectives. Confirm your health insurance coverage before booking an appointment to understand any out-of-pocket costs. Prepare a list of questions beforehand to make the most of your consultation.
Remember to discuss your medical history openly with your doctor to receive the best treatment plan. A thorough discussion ensures they can accurately assess your needs and determine the most appropriate course of action.
