Evidence status: EstablishedHow to Choose an ED Clinic Abroad
How do I choose a safe clinic for ED treatment abroad?
Check that treatment is delivered by a named, verifiable specialist, ask for an itemised written quote, and expect the clinic to label which treatments are established and which are experimental. Avoid clinics that guarantee results, pressure you to pay quickly or cannot explain aftercare. Use this checklist for any clinic, including ours.
Key fact: The 2026 EAU guideline says intracavernosal PRP for erectile dysfunction should be used only in a clinical-trial setting. (European Association of Urology, 2026; page updated )

Key takeaways
- Verify the doctor's name, specialty and professional registration yourself.
- A good clinic explains evidence honestly and never guarantees an outcome.
- Ask for a written, itemised plan and what happens if you need help after you return home.
