Telemedicine and online prescription drug services help to overcome some of the barriers to timely treatment for erectile dysfunction. These barriers fall into three primary categories: emotional, logistical, and financial.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h3>\n

What is it about men and doctors? Unless they fear they\u2019re facing imminent physical collapse, many men find countless reasons to avoid visits to the doctor\u2019s office. Could it be some deep-seated angst over the fact that it was a doctor who first whacked their butts into consciousness at birth?<\/p>\n

And it can become nearly impossible to convince some men to consult a doctor when the problem they\u2019re facing is of an especially intimate nature. As in erectile dysfunction. It\u2019s a topic that most males feel uncomfortable discussing face to face.<\/p>\n

3 Major Obstacles<\/h3>\n

Male reluctance to visit a doctor seems to fall into three major categories: emotional, logistical, and financial. First, the emotional barrier is perhaps the hardest to overcome, probably because it\u2019s the most difficult one to pin down. It\u2019s likely that, when pressed for an answer, most men couldn\u2019t really sum up in a few paragraphs their reasons for avoiding the doctor. They just know they\u2019d rather not go.<\/p>\n

Secondly, the logistics of setting up a visit to the doctor\u2019s office can also be challenging. If you work a 9-to-5 job, you will have to take some time off from work to see the doctor unless, of course, you\u2019re fortunate enough to have a doctor with evening or weekend hours.<\/p>\n

And lastly, finances are always a primary consideration. For men who have health insurance, the co-pay for a doctor\u2019s visit is usually not that high and thus no great barrier. However, in the case of ED, most health insurance plans don\u2019t cover the medications most often prescribed to treat the disorder. And these drugs can be expensive, although the advent of generic alternatives in recent years has brought their costs lower.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an Easier Way<\/h3>\n

Fortunately, there are ways to get help today without having to sit down face to face with a doctor to admit that one\u2019s sexual equipment just isn\u2019t working the way it should. Telemedicine and online prescription drug services, or the two in combination, offer a less nerve-wracking option to get counseling for the problem and be prescribed medications that can ease its symptoms.<\/p>\n

By their very nature, telemedicine and online prescription drug suppliers easily overcome most of the emotional and logistical hurdles to getting help for ED. And, as you\u2019ll see, some online options eliminate the cost of a doctor\u2019s visit, leaving only the cost of the medication to deal with.<\/p>\n

Results of Recent Survey<\/h3>\n

If there were ever any real doubt about male reluctance to see the doctor, a recent Cleveland Clinic survey should help to banish it. The world-renowned Ohio medical center surveyed 1,174 adult men about their attitudes toward doctors and doctor\u2019s visits. A whopping 72 percent of the survey\u2019s respondents said they would rather clean the bathroom or do other household chores than visit the doctor, according to a report at AARP.org<\/a>. Sixty-five percent of respondents said they postpone a visit to the doctor as long as possible.<\/p>\n

The survey found that many men simply don\u2019t like talking about their health with anyone, including a doctor. One in five admitted that they\u2019ve failed to be completely honest with doctors, citing discomfort about discussing certain issues. Many also said they dreaded being told that they might have to change their diets or lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Among older men, the survey found a definite reluctance to broach topics such as ED and urinary problems. This can be particularly perilous to their health because of the close association between erectile function and cardiovascular health. And both urinary problems and ED can result from prostate health issues, which usually can be successfully treated if diagnosed early enough.<\/p>\n

Telemedicine offers patients an appealing alternative to face-to-face visits with medical professionals.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There\u2019s a Name for It<\/h3>\n

When reluctance to see a doctor crosses the line into a pathological fear of doctors, you\u2019re dealing with a very real mental disorder, which is called iatrophobia, according to an article at VeryWellMind.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Most folks, whether men or women, don\u2019t really enjoy going to the doctor these days. However, iatrophobics vehemently resist medical treatment of any kind, which can make treatment of the disorder next to impossible.<\/p>\n

Telemedicine to the Rescue<\/h3>\n

Remote interaction with medical professionals isn\u2019t really new, but it is far more sophisticated and technologically advanced than it once was. A telephone call to the doctor is perhaps the simplest form of telemedicine there is.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s advanced telecommunications and telemetry technologies make telemedicine a satisfactory substitute for face-to-face doctor-and-patient interaction in all but a few medical specialties. At the very least, it is a way to establish an initial line of communication between patient and doctor that can continue to operate in the virtual realm or develop in time to a mix between in-person and virtual interaction.<\/p>\n

Telemedicine is an obvious solution to the challenge of bringing medical care to those located far from urban medical centers. It is also an easier way for those who are reticent about their medical problems to broach the subject with someone who is equipped to help.<\/p>\n

And unlike most doctor\u2019s offices, which operate on a fairly inflexible 9-to-5 schedule, telemedicine allows patients to get medical attention when they need it, no matter the time of day or night.<\/p>\n

Telemedicine consults are generally less expensive than a visit to the doctor\u2019s office, which makes this form of health care available to an ever-larger audience than regular medical care.<\/p>\n
