Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Try to feel comfortable with your doctor. Realize that doctors talk to men about ED all the time. For doctors, it's like treating any other common condition. Don't let the fear, embarrassment or intimidation of a conversation with your doctor stop you from enjoying a more satisfying sex life.

  2. Step 2

    Talk to the doctor. You need to convey to your doctor that you're not satisfied with your erections. Other ways to bring it up include asking questions. For example, you can say, "Every now and then, I have a problem getting an erection," you can also try "I want to try Viagra, what are your thoughts about that?"

  3. Step 3

    Ask and answer all questions openly and honestly. Only with a precise medical history and knowledge of the specific problems you're facing can a doctor give you the correct treatment.

  4. Step 4

    Get a physical exam. Before you get a prescription, your doctor will likely perform a routine physical exam. He will assess your general health and take your blood pressure. Your doctor will also likely ask you questions about your sex life.

  5. Step 5

    Determine if you think that Viagra is right for you during your appointment. After listening to the pros and cons of using Viagra, let your doctor know for sure if you still want to try it. He will then write you prescription and you will be well on your way to a more satisfying sex life.
