The survey revealed that:

Treated.com GP Clinical Director, Dr Daniel Atkinson, said: ‘It’s interesting (and will no doubt be somewhat surprising to some) to see that men from Yorkshire had a much more open attitude to discussing treatment with their romantic partner than those from other parts of the country.’

‘Many might have a preconception of Yorkshire men as being more traditional in their masculinity; but this data seems to suggest that they’re quite open about discussing ED, and ready to confront problems of a more intimate nature.’

‘As we know, erectile dysfunction is a sensitive health topic, which many men might feel reluctant to seek advice for.’

‘More recently, there has been a push to reduce the stigma surrounding ED but there is still a long way to go. Last year saw the release of Viagra Connect as a pharmacy medicine, effectively removing the need for a visit to the doctor for some ED patients.

“However, the results of this survey would indicate that there is still work to be done in dispelling the stigma that surrounds seeking help for this fairly common health condition.’
