Most men suffering from ED go online and reach for the medication before really understanding the cause of their ED.

Possible downsides of Oral Medications (PDE5 Inhibitors):
⚠️ 1. They Don’t Work for Everyone
• Around 30–40% of men don’t respond well, especially if the ED is caused by nerve damage (e.g., after prostate surgery) or vascular disease.

⏳ 2. Timing Can Be Tricky
• Most medications require planning — typically taken 30–60 minutes before s*x.
• This can affect spontaneity and cause pressure around performance.

🧠 3. They Don’t Address Psychological Causes
• If ED is linked to stress, anxiety, or relationship issues, pills may not help — and could even lead to overreliance or frustration when they “don’t work.”

💊 4. Side Effects
Common side effects include:
• Headaches
• Flushing
• Nasal congestion
• Upset stomach
• Dizziness
• Back pain (especially with tadalafil)
• Changes in vision (e.g., a blue tinge)
• Heart Palpitations

❤️ 5. Not Safe for Everyone
• Men taking nitrates (e.g., for angina) or with serious heart problems must avoid these medications — the combination can cause dangerous drops in blood pressure.

💸 6. Cost and Convenience
• For some, ongoing prescriptions can be expensive, especially if not covered by insurance or NHS.
• There may be restrictions on the number of tablets dispensed per month.

🧠 7. Temporary Fix, Not a Cure
• These medications treat the symptom, not the cause.
• They don’t reverse underlying vascular, hormonal, or psychological issues.

Understanding the type of ED you have is key.

Understanding the Different Types of Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
ED isn’t one-size-fits-all — it can have various causes, and knowing the type can guide the right treatment:
🔹 Vascular ED: The most common type, caused by reduced blood flow to the p***s due to conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or smoking.
🔹 Neurogenic ED: Results from nerve damage, often linked to conditions such as spinal injuries, multiple sclerosis, or surgery.
🔹 Psychogenic ED: Linked to mental health factors like stress, anxiety, or depression.
🔹 Hormonal ED: Caused by imbalances in hormones like testosterone.
🔹 Medication-induced ED: Some medications can affect erectile function as a side effect.
If you’re experiencing symptoms, don’t wait—talk to a Men’s Health specialist to find the right approach for you. There are effective treatments available!

Men typically wait an average of 2 to 5 years before seeking help for erectile dysfunction (ED). This delay is often due to a mix of factors, including:
• Embarrassment or shame
• Belief that it’s a natural part of aging
• Fear of being judged or dismissed
• Lack of awareness that effective, non-invasive treatments are available
Unfortunately, the longer men wait, the more likely ED can affect not only their physical health but also mental well-being and relationships.
Early conversations—especially with healthcare providers who specialise in men’s health—can make a huge difference. Many cases of ED are treatable, especially when caused by vascular issues, nerve problems, or lifestyle factors.

💬 Let’s Talk About It: Erectile Dysfunction Isn’t a Dirty Word
Too many men suffer in silence with erectile dysfunction, feeling ashamed or alone. But here’s the truth:
👉 ED is incredibly common – affecting up to 1 in 2 men over 40
👉 It’s often treatable – with lifestyle changes, therapy, medication, or medical devices
👉 It’s nothing to be embarrassed about
🚫 The stigma around ED stops people from seeking help. But ignoring it doesn’t make it go away — and it can seriously affect self-esteem, relationships, and overall health.
Let’s break the silence. Let’s drop the shame. Let’s talk about ED — openly, honestly, and without judgment.
💙 Your health is worth the conversation.

Chartered Society of Physiotherapy report reinforces the CSP's urgent call for a systematic review of paediatric physiotherapy and rehabilitation as part of the government’s NHS Plan for Change.

The report revealed that over 314,000 children and young people are currently waiting for community health services in England which is an increase of more than 40,000 in just one year.

It warns that delays in care are causing “irreparable harm” in some cases with average waiting times for children’s community health services are now among the longest in the NHS.

A stark new report from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) highlights the growing crisis in community health services for children.
