Diabetic – Erectile Dysfunction Question:
I am a Diabetic and I cannot Get an Erection, I Need Help!
Doctor Alsayes Answer:
Erectile dysfunction is more common in men with diabetes because it occurs due to a decrease in the blood supply to the penis, as well as damages to the nerves that are responsible for getting an erection, plus the reduction of testosterone levels in some men with diabetes.
So in that case, Viagra can help by increasing the blood flow to the penile tissue leading to an erection. And it’s safe for diabetic patients.
I’d suggest you take Viagra 50 mg when needed. Ideally, you should take it on an empty stomach or two hours after eating the last meal and 1 hours before the intercourse.
One more important thing to do is to monitor your blood glucose level and to follow the instruction of your therapist to make sure your diabetes is under control since it contributes to ED.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks, Dr. Alsayes
