The ultimate guide to solving your erectile dysfunction in Singapore (2026)

What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?

ED is the condition where it is difficult to get or keep an erection adequate for sexual activity.

This is usually due to insufficient blood flow into the penis, which can be a result of many different physical or lifestyle factors.

How common is ED in Singapore?

In Singapore, ED affects more men than we think.

Over 50% of men reported to have experienced some degree of ED. Of these, around half reported mild ED while the rest have moderate to severe ED. It was also shown that Singaporean men aged 50 and above are more likely to suffer from more severe ED.

What causes ED?

In general, ED is the result of poor blood flow to the penis, and can be caused by a combination of psychological and physical factors.

Psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, fatigue, depression, and fear of sexual failure (i.e. “performance anxiety”) can affect your ability to hold an erection.

We explored how overworking and lack of sleep can contribute to ED. We also discuss the reality of porn-induced ED in this article.

Physical factors such as ageing, heart disease, diabetes mellitus, low testosterone levels, and nerve disease can also contribute to ED. These conditions affect blood flow to the penis.

In addition, poor lifestyle choices such as: lack of exercise, excessive alcohol intake, smoking, and obesity also have a role to play in ED. Occasionally, blood pressure medications, antidepressants, and mood stabilisers can also affect the erection process.

Can ED be treated?

Yes! Depending on the cause of your ED, there are several options available to treat your condition.

Different forms of treatments may be suitable for you, depending on your condition. These can range from psychological counselling, lifestyle changes, medications or surgery. Here at SIRE, we discuss a case study of three of our clients.

Due to societal pressure and fear of being judged, the majority of men do not seek professional help for this highly treatable condition.

Some even resort to buying “medications” from unregulated sources online and offline. We investigated the risks of obtaining these “medications” or sex enhancement pills such as Tongkat Ali, San Ti Niu Bian (三体牛鞭) and Candy B.

Always seek advice from a licensed medical professional, and never consume medications obtained from unregulated or untrustworthy sources.

Medications

The most common oral medication used to treat ED is called “PDE5 inhibitors”. They work by increasing blood flow to the penis, allowing you to achieve and sustain an erection.

This class of drugs is often recommended for the initial treatment of ED. They have been clinically proven to be effective, easy to use and have limited side effects.

The four musketeers that belong to this class of “PDE5 inhibitors” are Viagra (sildenafil), Levitra (vardenafil), Cialis (tadalafil) and Spedra (avanafil). According to an analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, all of these options appear to be equally effective.

We explore the uses of Viagra and discuss facts vs myths of this popular ED medication in our article here.

Where can I get PDE5 inhibitors?

In Singapore, all four of these medications are available – the sales of these medications have to be accompanied by a legal prescription.
