Q14. Can I be treated for impotence on the NHS?

A14. If your impotence is caused by a medical condition which appears on a NHS approved list then you may be eligible for NHS treatment. This includes conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, spinal cord injuries and prostate cancer. If not then you will have to pay privately for your treatment. Your GP will be able to advise you further about this. Find out more in our paying for impotence treatment section.
