You do not need the perfect words. You just need a clear description of the pattern and what impact it is having. This script is a starting point you can adapt.

A simple script

I have been feeling low energy for a while, and it is affecting my mood and motivation. I have also noticed changes in my libido and sexual confidence. I would like a general health review and a plan.

Useful details to mention

  • When it started, sudden or gradual
  • Sleep quality and snoring if relevant
  • Stress level and workload
  • Alcohol use patterns
  • Any changes in erections or performance anxiety
  • Any other symptoms such as weight change or feeling unwell

Questions to ask

  • What do you think is most likely contributing in my case
  • Are there any checks you recommend based on my symptoms
  • What should I try first for the next two to four weeks
  • When should I follow up
