Talk to a Doctor From Home

Sexual-health concerns can feel uncomfortable to discuss in person. With MeriSehat, you can speak with a real doctor online from the privacy of your home, without sitting in a clinic waiting room. You can explain your concerns in your own words, and the doctor can guide you on the appropriate next step. You don't have to feel awkward walking into a clinic to start the conversation.

How it works

1. Share what you're experiencing: Explain your symptoms privately from your phone.

2. A real doctor reviews your case: A qualified doctor reviews the information and asks follow-up questions where needed.

3. Get the right next step: The doctor can provide appropriate medical guidance or recommend an in-person or specialist evaluation when necessary. Not every sexual-health concern can be completely diagnosed online.

Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Erectile dysfunction is the consistent inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. The meaning of erectile dysfunction goes beyond occasional difficulty; it can be a persistent issue with physical, psychological, medication-related, or lifestyle-related contributors. Common erectile dysfunction symptoms include difficulty getting an erection, trouble keeping it, or reduced sexual desire. When exploring erectile dysfunction treatment, proper assessment is needed. Erectile dysfunction medication should not be used without checking for heart conditions or potential drug interactions, and treatment should always be discussed with a doctor based on your individual health.

Premature Ejaculation

Premature ejaculation is a very common and treatable concern. If you are looking into premature ejaculation treatment or want to learn how to control premature ejaculation, it is important to know that the appropriate approach depends entirely on your individual situation. While some men look for medicine for premature ejaculation, prescription medication is not universally recommended for everyone. Various behavioral, psychological, and medical options exist, and a professional assessment can help determine the safest and most effective step for you.

Choosing the Right Doctor

If you are looking for an erectile dysfunction doctor or wondering which doctor to consult for premature ejaculation, a general medical practitioner is often the right place to start. A doctor can review your symptoms and help determine whether your concern can be safely addressed through an online consultation, or whether an in-person examination or specialist assessment is more appropriate.

When to consult a doctor

You should seek medical advice if:

  • You experience persistent difficulty getting or maintaining an erection.
  • You notice sores, blisters, or a rash on your genitals.
  • You have abnormal discharge from your penis, or pain when urinating.
  • You or a recent sexual partner may have been exposed to an STI.
  • You find blood in your urine or semen.

Emergency warning signs

Seek immediate medical attention or call 112 if you experience:

  • An erection that lasts longer than 4 hours and is painful (priapism)
  • Sudden, severe pain in your testicles (which could indicate testicular torsion)
  • You are completely unable to pass urine despite having a full bladder
