Medical guidance

Tempo doesn't diagnose. The list below is who to actually call.

  • Talk to your prescriber first

    If timing changes started after starting or changing medication (SSRIs, anti-anxiety, blood pressure, opioids), the prescriber is the right first call. Don't stop on your own.

  • GP / family physician

    A general doctor can rule out hormonal, vascular, neurological, or pelvic-floor factors and refer you to a urologist or endocrinologist if needed.

  • Urgent symptoms

    Sudden change, pain, blood, numbness, or inability to urinate are reasons to seek same-day medical care, not online tools.

A note on directories outside your country

The directories above are weighted toward English-speaking regions. If you're elsewhere, findahelpline.com is a good first stop, and most national health systems have a free general line you can call to be routed.
