The vast majority of ED cases respond to treatment. The right approach depends on the underlying cause \u2014 vascular, hormonal, neurological, or psychogenic. With proper diagnosis, over 90% of men can achieve satisfactory sexual function through some level of treatment.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q2: When should I see a urologist for ED?<\/h3>\n<p>Consult a urologist if you experience consistent difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection for more than 3 months, especially if you are under 50 \u2014 vascular ED in young men may be the earliest sign of cardiovascular disease and warrants prompt evaluation. <a href=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/2022\/08\/27\/erectile-dysfunction-preventive\/\">See lifestyle strategies to prevent ED \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q3: Are PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis) safe long-term?<\/h3>\n<p>PDE5 inhibitors have an excellent long-term safety profile when prescribed by a qualified physician. However, they are contraindicated in patients taking nitrates and require caution in those with severe cardiovascular disease. Self-medication without medical evaluation is strongly discouraged.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q4: What is Penile Duplex Ultrasound and do I need it?<\/h3>\n<p>Penile Duplex Ultrasound (PDU) is a specialized vascular study that assesses blood flow to the penis. It distinguishes arterial insufficiency from venous leak \u2014 critical information for selecting the right treatment. PDU is particularly valuable for men under 50 with ED, men who failed oral therapy, or those considering surgical treatment.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q5: Does insurance cover ED treatment in Thailand?<\/h3>\n<p>Insurance coverage varies by provider and policy. Some Thai insurance policies cover diagnostic evaluation when ED is associated with underlying medical conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular disease). International insurance often covers consultation and prescription medications. We recommend contacting Bangkok Hospital&#8217;s international patient services for specific coverage inquiries.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q6: Can I consult Dr. Soarawee online before traveling to Bangkok?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Dr. Soarawee offers online video consultations for international patients via WhatsApp, LINE, or Telegram. This allows preliminary discussion of symptoms, review of any previous test results, and planning of in-person evaluation if needed.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q7: What makes Bangkok a destination for ED treatment?<\/h3>\n<p>Thailand offers world-class urological care at internationally accredited hospitals (JCI), English-speaking specialists trained in the USA, Japan, and Europe, and cost-effective treatment compared to Western countries \u2014 all while maintaining complete privacy and discretion for sensitive conditions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:60px;padding-bottom:60px\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-family:Playfair Display;font-size:34px;font-weight:600\">Book Your Confidential Consultation<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Take the first step toward restoring your sexual health and confidence.<br \/>All consultations are conducted with complete discretion and privacy.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokhospital.com\/en\/bangkok\/doctor\/dr-soarawee-weerasopone-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bangkok Hospital \u2014 Online Booking<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:088-022-1445\">Samitivej Sriracha \u2014 Call 088-022-1445<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@graph\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Physician\",\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/about\/#physician\",\n      \"name\": \"Dr. Soarawee Weerasopone\",\n      \"alternateName\": \"Dr. Pom\",\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/about\/\",\n      \"image\": \"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/IMG_7640.jpg\",\n      \"medicalSpecialty\": [\"Urology\", \"Men's Health\", \"Sexual Medicine\"],\n      \"worksFor\": { \"@type\": \"Hospital\", \"name\": \"Bangkok Hospital Headquarters\" }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"MedicalCondition\",\n      \"name\": \"Erectile Dysfunction\",\n      \"alternateName\": [\"ED\", \"Impotence\"],\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/services\/erectile-dysfunction-bangkok\/\",\n      \"code\": { \"@type\": \"MedicalCode\", \"code\": \"N52.9\", \"codingSystem\": \"ICD-10\" },\n      \"associatedAnatomy\": { \"@type\": \"AnatomicalStructure\", \"name\": \"Penis\" },\n      \"signOrSymptom\": [\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalSignOrSymptom\", \"name\": \"Difficulty achieving erection\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalSignOrSymptom\", \"name\": \"Difficulty maintaining erection\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalSignOrSymptom\", \"name\": \"Reduced libido\" }\n      ],\n      \"riskFactor\": [\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalRiskFactor\", \"name\": \"Diabetes mellitus\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalRiskFactor\", \"name\": \"Cardiovascular disease\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalRiskFactor\", \"name\": \"Hypogonadism\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalRiskFactor\", \"name\": \"Smoking\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalRiskFactor\", \"name\": \"Obesity\" }\n      ],\n      \"possibleTreatment\": [\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalTherapy\", \"name\": \"PDE5 Inhibitors (Sildenafil, Tadalafil)\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalTherapy\", \"name\": \"Low-Intensity Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalTherapy\", \"name\": \"Intracavernosal Injection (Trimix)\" },\n        { \"@type\": \"MedicalProcedure\", \"name\": \"Inflatable Penile Prosthesis (IPP)\" }\n      ],\n      \"recognizingAuthority\": { \"@id\": \"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/about\/#physician\" }\n    },\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n      \"mainEntity\": [\n        { \"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Is erectile dysfunction curable?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": { \"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes.
