Diabetes – Erectile Dysfunction Question:
I’m Diabetes Type 2 Can I Take Viagra?
Doctor Alsayes Answer:
The simple answer is: Yes you can take it.
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 Viagra can help in this case by increasing the blood flow to the penile tissue leading to an erection. And it’s safe for diabetic patients.
One more important point 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
