Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common private requests we see at the clinic, and almost every patient asks the same first question: will this be confidential? The answer is yes. Consultations happen in a private room with the door closed, prescriptions go out in plain unmarked packaging, results and follow-up are sent only to your personal WhatsApp, and nothing is shared with hotels, travel partners, insurers or your home doctor unless you specifically request it. Our role is to take a brief medical history, screen for the cardiovascular and hormonal causes that often sit behind ED, prescribe the right medication at the right dose, and check in a few days later to see whether it worked.
What causes erectile dysfunction
An erection requires healthy blood vessels, intact nerves, adequate testosterone and a relaxed mind, and a problem in any one of these systems can cause ED. The most common cause is vascular: the same atherosclerosis (furring of the arteries) that causes heart attacks and strokes also narrows the small arteries supplying the penis, and because those arteries are smaller, ED often appears years before any other cardiovascular symptom. This is why a new diagnosis of ED in a man over 40 is treated by our team as a cardiovascular warning sign as much as a sexual problem, and why we always check blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Diabetes, smoking, hypertension, obesity and a sedentary lifestyle all act through this same vascular route. Neurological causes include spinal injury, multiple sclerosis and prostate surgery. Hormonal causes include low testosterone, an underactive thyroid and a raised prolactin level. Psychological factors such as performance anxiety, depression and relationship stress account for many cases, particularly in younger men with sudden onset. Several common medications cause ED, including SSRIs, older beta-blockers, thiazide diuretics, finasteride and opioids, and recreational drug use including alcohol excess is a frequent contributor.
What the consultation involves
A first ED visit takes around twenty minutes. We start with the validated five-question IIEF-5 score (a short questionnaire that grades severity), then ask about onset, partner factors, morning erections, libido, current medications and cardiovascular history. Examination covers blood pressure, BMI, basic genital examination and, where indicated, secondary sex characteristics. Investigations are tailored: a fasting glucose or HbA1c and a lipid panel for vascular risk, a morning total testosterone if libido is low or there are signs of hypogonadism, a TSH if thyroid disease is suspected, a prolactin if testosterone is low, and a PSA if you are 50 or over and have not had one recently. Most patients leave the same visit with a prescription and a follow-up plan, and lab results come back to your WhatsApp within one to three days.
PDE5 inhibitors: which one is right
PDE5 inhibitors (phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors) are the first-line treatment and work by relaxing the smooth muscle in the penile arteries so blood can flow in during sexual stimulation. They do not cause erections on their own, you still need arousal. All four agents are effective in roughly seven out of ten men. The right choice depends on how spontaneous you want sex to be, whether you can take medication on an empty stomach, and whether you have other medical conditions. Generic versions of all four are widely and legally available in Thailand at a fraction of brand pricing, and we prescribe either brand or generic depending on your preference.
| Medication | Typical dose | Onset | Duration | Food and notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sildenafil (Viagra) | 25 to 100 mg as needed | 30 to 60 minutes | 4 to 6 hours | Take on an empty stomach. A heavy or fatty meal delays absorption. |
| Tadalafil (Cialis) | 10 to 20 mg as needed, or 2.5 to 5 mg daily | 30 to 60 minutes | 24 to 36 hours | Food does not matter. Daily low dose allows spontaneous sex. |
| Vardenafil (Levitra) | 5 to 20 mg as needed | 30 to 60 minutes | 4 to 6 hours | Similar to sildenafil. Often chosen if sildenafil causes flushing. |
| Avanafil (Stendra, Spedra) | 50 to 200 mg as needed | 15 to 30 minutes | 4 to 6 hours | Fastest onset. Fewer visual side effects. Useful with food. |
Common side effects across the class are headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion, mild back pain (more with tadalafil) and brief blue-tinted vision (more with sildenafil). These are usually mild and settle within a few hours. If the first medication does not work, we either increase the dose, switch agent, or look again at the underlying cause before moving to second-line therapy.
Second-line and refractory ED
For men who do not respond to PDE5 inhibitors at maximum dose, second-line options include alprostadil as a urethral pellet (MUSE) or a small intracavernosal injection (Caverject) into the side of the penis, a vacuum erection device that draws blood into the penis mechanically, and testosterone replacement if blood tests confirm true hypogonadism with symptoms. Testosterone is never prescribed to men with normal levels purely to enhance performance. Refractory cases are referred to a urologist for shockwave therapy (low-intensity extracorporeal shockwave, evidence still mixed) or a penile implant, an inflatable or semi-rigid prosthesis used as a last resort with high satisfaction rates.
When to see a doctor
Any persistent erection difficulty for more than a few weeks is worth assessing, both to restore sexual function and to screen for the cardiovascular and hormonal conditions that often sit behind it. ED that comes on suddenly in a man under 40, ED with a painful curvature of the penis, ED with breast development or testicular shrinkage, or ED in a man with chest pain on exertion all need same-week evaluation. Never buy PDE5 tablets online or from unregulated vendors without a consultation: counterfeit Viagra is widespread in tourist areas, and the nitrate interaction below is genuinely dangerous.
You take any nitrate medication (sublingual glyceryl trinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate or dinitrate, amyl nitrite or “poppers”). The combination causes severe and sometimes fatal hypotension. Recent heart attack within six weeks, unstable angina, severe heart failure, recent stroke, or uncontrolled blood pressure. Severe liver disease. A four-hour or longer painful erection (priapism) is a medical emergency and needs immediate attention. Sudden loss of vision or hearing during use. A painful curvature of the penis (Peyronie’s disease) needs urology referral rather than self-treatment.
You are unsure whether ED medication is safe with your other prescriptions, especially nitrates, alpha-blockers for prostate symptoms, or HIV protease inhibitors. A five-minute private conversation by WhatsApp or in person settles the dose, the agent and the timing. WhatsApp +66 95 073 5550 for a same-day discreet appointment or hotel visit.
Prevention and lifestyle
Lifestyle change is the foundation of ED treatment and is often the missing step in men who feel the tablets are “not working well enough”. A 5 to 10 percent loss of body weight restores spontaneous erections in many overweight men by improving vascular function and raising testosterone. Regular aerobic exercise of 150 minutes per week improves the endothelial lining of penile arteries within weeks. Stopping smoking improves erectile function measurably within months. Alcohol moderation matters: heavy drinking damages both nerve function and testosterone. Obstructive sleep apnoea is a frequently missed cause, particularly in men who snore loudly and feel tired all day, and treating sleep apnoea often improves both libido and erectile function. Treating depression and addressing relationship stress, with counselling where appropriate, completes the picture.
Summary
ED is common, treatable and often a window onto wider cardiovascular health. A short private consultation in Patong, a basic blood pressure and blood panel, and the right PDE5 inhibitor will restore satisfactory sex for the majority of men the same week. Generic options keep cost low, lifestyle change keeps results lasting, and the entire process stays inside the consulting room. Discretion is not an add-on at this clinic, it is the default.
“Most men who come in for ED are embarrassed for the first two minutes and relieved for the next eighteen. The medication works, the consultation is private, and we treat the heart and the erection together. Nothing about this visit shows up anywhere outside this clinic.”

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a physical examination to get a Viagra prescription?
A brief examination is part of safe prescribing, primarily a blood pressure check and a short medical history. We do not require a genital examination unless you describe pain, curvature, a lump or a specific symptom that needs it. The whole visit takes around twenty minutes and is conducted in a private consulting room.
Is the consultation really confidential?
Yes. You may register on a first-name basis, prescriptions are dispensed in plain packaging, results go only to your personal WhatsApp, and we do not bill insurance or share notes with your home doctor unless you ask us to. Hotel visits arrive in unmarked clothing and bring a discreet bag. Nothing about the visit identifies it as an ED consultation.
Can I get a long supply to take home?
Yes. After the initial consultation we can prescribe a one to three month supply, brand or generic, in a single dispense. Patients flying home often request a three-month supply of daily low-dose tadalafil or as-needed sildenafil. We can also arrange a short telehealth review for repeat prescriptions once you are home.
How much does ED treatment cost in Patong?
The consultation fee is a single transparent figure, and medication is charged separately. Generic sildenafil and tadalafil are very affordable in Thailand. We provide a clear written quote before any prescription is issued, and there is no obligation to proceed. WhatsApp us for current pricing.
What are the common side effects of Viagra or Cialis?
Headache, facial flushing, nasal congestion, indigestion and mild back pain are the most common. Sildenafil can occasionally cause a brief blue tint to vision. These effects are usually mild and resolve within a few hours. Serious side effects are rare in correctly prescribed patients without nitrate or significant cardiac contraindications.
What if Viagra or Cialis does not work for me?
Around three in ten men respond poorly to PDE5 inhibitors. We re-check the dose, the timing and the food interaction, look again at testosterone and cardiovascular risk, and consider switching agent. If a properly trialled PDE5 inhibitor still fails, we discuss second-line options including alprostadil injection or pellet, a vacuum device, or referral to urology for shockwave therapy or a penile implant.
