FAQs
Is there a difference between erectile dysfunction and impotence?
The 2 terms technically refer to the same thing and can be used interchangeably. The word “impotence” may carry a negative connotation to some people however, whereas “erectile dysfunction” has a more neutral connotation.
Must I see a doctor for erectile dysfunction?
Most men would experience some degree of erectile dysfunction at some time in their life. Often, these may be due to temporary circumstances such as work stress or fatigue. If the condition persists, you should consider consulting a doctor.
Is erectile dysfunction a symptom of a serious health condition?
Persistent erectile dysfunction may be caused by poor cardiovascular health which resulted in blockages of arteries supplying blood to the penis. Consult a doctor if the condition persists. Consider also going for regular health screenings to monitor your overall health.
Can a person get an STI without sex?
It is rare, but possible to contract an STI without sexual contact. Some STI scan be transmitted via contaminated food, contaminated fabric such as shared towels, beddings and clothing, and contaminated surfaces, such as shared toothbrushes, razors, or unwashed sex toys.
Should I get screened or tested for STIs?
Even without symptoms, you should consider STI screening if you are sexually active, especially if you have had vaginal, anal or oral sex with a new partner. Pregnant women should also undergo testing.
