Levitra

Disclaimer: This self‑check questionnaire is for educational purposes only and does not diagnose any condition or replace professional medical advice. Erectile symptoms can have many causes. If you are unsure about your answers, symptoms persist, or you have concerns about medications such as Levitra (vardenafil), consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Questionnaire

Use the checklist below to reflect on your experiences. Answer honestly based on the past 3–6 months unless otherwise noted.

• Do you sometimes have difficulty achieving an erection firm enough for sexual activity?
• Do you notice erections that are less consistent than before?
• Has this change been present for more than a few weeks?
• Do erections tend to fade during intercourse?
• Are morning or spontaneous erections less frequent than they used to be?
• Do symptoms vary depending on stress, fatigue, or relationship factors?
• Have you noticed changes in sexual desire alongside erection difficulties?
• Do symptoms occur despite adequate sexual stimulation?
• Have you been diagnosed with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease?
• Do you smoke, vape, or use nicotine products?
• Do you drink alcohol frequently or in large amounts?
• Are you taking prescription or over‑the‑counter medicines that might affect sexual function?
• Have you experienced pelvic surgery, injury, or radiation therapy?
• Do anxiety, performance concerns, or mood changes seem to trigger symptoms?
• Have you tried lifestyle changes (sleep, exercise) and noticed any improvement?

How to interpret answers

This guide helps you consider whether it may be reasonable to seek medical advice. It does not confirm or rule out any condition.

• Low reason to seek help: Occasional difficulties tied to stress, fatigue, or temporary factors that resolve on their own.
• Medium reason to seek help: Recurrent symptoms lasting several weeks, especially with risk factors (e.g., smoking, chronic conditions).
• High reason to seek help: Persistent symptoms for months, worsening over time, or accompanied by other health issues (pain, cardiovascular symptoms, medication side effects).

Next steps: what to do

1. Self‑monitor: Note frequency, timing, and triggers of symptoms.
2. Record context: Include sleep, stress, alcohol use, and exercise.
3. Review medications: List all drugs and supplements you take.
4. Consider lifestyle steps: Improve sleep, reduce alcohol, stop smoking, and stay active.
5. Choose a specialist: Start with a primary care clinician; they may refer you to a urologist or endocrinologist.
6. Prepare questions: Ask about causes, testing options, and whether medicines like vardenafil are appropriate for you.
7. Follow up: Reassess after any changes or treatments recommended by your clinician.
