Yes, urologists treat erectile dysfunction (ED). They are specialized doctors who treat disorders of the urinary tract and male reproductive system. Since ED is an inability to get or maintain an erection for penetrative sex, that would fall under the urology category.
If you have a regular sexual partner, your doctor may ask to talk to the two of you together. This can help them learn more about your relationship and how it might affect your ability to get and keep erections.
Your urologist will perform a physical examination to check your health. They will examine your genitals (testes and scrotum) for any signs of injury or problems that point to erectile dysfunction. They will also check your heart rate and blood pressure to know about your cardiovascular health. They may even perform a rectal examination to check your prostate.

When an erection is desired, the man uses a pump to fill the cylinders with pressurized fluid. Alternatively, a malleable implant with surgically implanted rods can be used to bolster erections.
Your private physical examination happens with an ED specialist in a confidential men’s health clinic. Your blood pressure will be checked. Your testicles and penis will be examined, and a brief rectal exam may be recommended to check your prostate health.
To get an erection, your brain, nerves, hormones, and blood vessels all need to work together. If something gets in the way of these normal functions, it can lead to erection problems.
