Men’s Health
Men are notorious for ignoring health symptoms, because of their reluctance to visit the GP or other healthcare professionals. We make the process easier by offering a range of services and medications or supplements that can all be accessed remotely from anywhere in the country. Some of our key services for men are listed below...
Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile dysfunction is when a man is unable to gain or maintain an erection. It is relatively common with research indicating it can occur in about 50% of men over 40. Although it can have physical or psychological causes, the risks of developing it are heightened by poor lifestyle choices such as a lack of exercise, smoking and being overweight. Other medical conditions or medications can also cause ED and we advise you to contact us if this applies to you.
ED often involves reduced blood flow to the penis and most ED oral medications work to reverse this. Oral medications have been shown to be effective in 75% of men suffering from erectile dysfunction. Their effectiveness is further increased when taken alongside other lifestyle interventions and appropriate sexual stimulation.
We offer a choice of all three oral ED drugs currently on the market. The choice is somewhat dependant on suitability and the slight differences between them...

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)/ Enlarged Prostate
This often presents as an enlarged prostate, causing urinary retention and an impaired flow of urine. Risk increases with age, with almost 40% of men aged 50 likely to experience symptoms. Diabetes, weight gain, increased consumption of diets rich in fat and red meat, alcohol and fizzy drinks further increase the risk of its development.
As part of our online BPH service we can offer Tamsulosin (after a pharmacist consultation), a well established treatment which helps improve the flow of urine, the continuous urge to urinate and the feeling of unfinished urination.

Tamsulosin is an alpha1-adrenoceptor antagonist (alpha-blocker) that relaxes the muscles in the prostate gland and urethra by improving the flow of urine, reducing the urge to frequently urinate and the feeling of incomplete emptying of the bladder. We also sell a range of herbs that may help support good functioning of the prostate glands.
