    Dr. Mehmet Oz answered:
    When you see your doctor about erectile dysfunction (ED) be prepared to ask about causes, tests, health conditions, treatments, medications, and specialists. You’ll want to know what might be causing your ED, and what tests your doctor will perform to figure that out. Ask how he or she may treat your ED, and whether you should see a specialist such as a urologist. Ask about what medications may be prescribed. Most importantly, ask questions that are on your mind. In many cases, it’s a good idea to bring your spouse or sexual partner, who may remember to ask questions you’ve forgotten. ED is a problem in a relationship, and solving together it can improve your relationship.
