Erectile dysfunction explained

What is erectile dysfunction?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is when a man has trouble getting or keeping an erection strong enough for sex. There are several reasons why this might happen, and they can range from physical health issues to emotional or psychological factors. The good news is, ED is treatable.

How can PDE5 inhibitors help to treat ED?

PDE5 inhibitors are medications taken orally and they work by making it easier to get and maintain an erection when stimulated. Usually, these medications are taken before sexual activity but depending on the type, they have slightly different features including their duration. The choice of which one to use depends on individual preferences, lifestyle, and how your body responds.

How does ED treatment work?

Enhanced performance

Firmer, more dependable erections, increased desire, improved mood, and a renewed sense of confidence and control are the results you can expect.

Treating the whole picture

ED treatments like PDE5 inhibitors (e.g., Sildenafil, Tadalafil) restore blood flow by relaxing vascular smooth muscle, while addressing psychological and hormonal contributors like stress, anxiety, and low testosterone. Advanced care may also include lifestyle changes, TRT, or psychosexual therapy for a full-spectrum solution.

Results beyond the bedroom

The result is stronger, more reliable erections, but also greater confidence, reduced anxiety, improved intimacy, and often an upstream impact on cardiovascular health and overall wellbeing — making it not just a treatment for ED, but a gateway to whole-body optimisation.

Men’s health is broken. We’re here to fix it.

Prof. Suks Minhas

MD FRCS Urol

"As a Consultant Urologist and Andrologist, my mission is to provide world-class, evidence-based care across the full spectrum of men’s health—encompassing sexual function, fertility, low testosterone, hormonal health, and urological wellbeing. Every man deserves access to expert, compassionate care regardless of background, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Equitable healthcare is not just an ideal—it is a responsibility."

DR. Ian Gallen

Endocrinologist & Medicine Advisor

"In the UK, we know that men are disproportionately less likely to seek medical help for various reasons, not least when it comes to conditions that may seem to carry a stigma. Heracles wants to break that cycle not just through treatment, but by equipping men with the knowledge and confidence to own their health and to thrive inside out."

Dr. Richie Kirwan

PhD Nutritionist

"Our modern food environment, our activity levels and the way we live our lives simply do not lead us towards health. My goal at Heracles is to help educate and guide men towards healthier food, movement and lifestyle habits that will lead them to the state of optimal health and function that they deserve, and that will help them live a longer, healthier, more fulfilling life."

FAQs & Common Concerns

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition. Studies show that about 30 million men in the United States alone experience some form of ED. In general, about 1 in 10 men will experience ED at some point in their lives.
Age is considered a strong risk factor. As you get older, you are more likely to have erectile dysfunction (ED)—affecting around 5% of men in their 40s and around 15% in their 70s. However, ED can happen at any age due to rising rates of obesity and lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes, which increase the likelihood of ED.
The tests a doctor performs for erectile dysfunction (ED) depend on symptoms, medical and sexual history, and risk factors. At Heracles, we begin by asking you to fill in the IIEF-5 medical questionnaire. Depending on your score, we may prescribe treatment. We also offer optional add-on blood tests and a doctor’s consultation, both of which we advise for a thorough evaluation.
At Heracles, we offer PDE5 inhibitors as convenient and effective oral tablets. We have three options:
  • Sildenafil (Viagra) – Relaxes penile blood vessels to improve flow during sexual stimulation. Typically taken 30–60 minutes before sex; lasts ~4–6 hours.
  • Tadalafil (Cialis) – Similar to sildenafil but longer-acting (up to 36 hours), earning the nickname “the weekend pill.” Fast-acting and taken as needed.
  • Tadalafil daily – A lower dose formulated for daily use, providing continuous readiness. Best for frequent sex (2+ times per week) and spontaneity.
Pretty quickly! Sildenafil and standard tadalafil typically take effect within 60 minutes after ingestion. Tadalafil daily (lower dose) can take a few days to build up in your system.
PDE5 inhibitors are generally safe for most healthy men, including older adults, when used appropriately under medical supervision. Like all medications, they have risks and contraindications—especially with certain health conditions or drug combinations. Please consult one of our specialist doctors for a thorough review of your suitability.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be a symptom of underlying medical conditions—many detectable through blood work. Identifying root causes enables effective, targeted treatment rather than just symptom management.
A consultation helps uncover root causes of erectile dysfunction (ED). Physical factors (heart disease, hormonal imbalance), lifestyle (diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol), and mental health (stress, depression, anxiety) can be missed when using first-line treatment alone.
