Millions of Men in Europe do not seek help for Erectile Dysfunction

Recent studies done by the University of Hertfordshire discovered that millions of men who suffer from Erectile Dysfunction in Europe, do not seek medical attention for their condition. The number of men who do not treat ED surpasses the 6 million mark. By not seeking medical attention for Impotence, men put themselves at risk for future health problems such as cardiovascular disease.

A professor at Hertfordshire University says 50% of men over the age of 40, suffer from erectile dysfunction and only 30 percent of them decide to talk to their doctor about it and seek treatment. This leaves the vast majority of men untreated and at risk.

The same professor also conducted a similar study on over 11,000 men with Erectile Dysfunction in Europe, to see how sexually active they are and how they obtained a PDE5 inhibitor (Viagra, Cialis or Levitra).

They found that out of 10 men who got the erectile dysfunction medications, 7 of them obtained it through visiting their doctor. While 3 men bought the ED medications through online pharmacies. Their study concluded that millions of men in Europe do not follow the correct healthcare system by discussing ED with their doctors. A large percentage of them obtain treatment through other means.
