Assessment of ED in Hypertensive Patients
Evaluate cardiovascular status before starting ED treatment to ensure safety.

First-line Treatment Options
Consider PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil, which are generally safe with controlled hypertension. Consult your doctor for personalized advice.

Medication Interactions
Be cautious of interactions between PDE5 inhibitors and antihypertensives. Avoid nitrates as they can cause severe hypotension.

Lifestyle Modifications
Adopt a heart-healthy diet, exercise regularly, and manage stress to improve both hypertension and ED.

When to Refer
Consult a urologist or cardiologist if ED persists despite treatment or if there are concerns about cardiovascular health.
