A recent survey has reported that 33% of men would rather not consult their own family doctor...

when seeking medical advice and that, over 40% of those men would consider that discussing erectile dysfunction problems was a definite no-go area. A third of the men asked also confirmed that they would rather not get medical treatment at all, preferring to resolve the problem themselves.

This is not uncommon with men in general, who are far more likely to turn a blind eye to a pressing medical problem, than their female counterparts.

Results also suggest that more and more men are turning to remote, online medical services, to avoid the embarrassment of a face to face consultation.

Issues such as impotence can often be successfully treated remotely, although it is advised that men suffering from ED should consult their own doctor, as impotence can often be a marker for underlying health problems.
