Erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by diabetes is not necessarily irreversible. Diabetes can affect blood vessels and nerves, crucial for normal erectile function. However, with proper management and treatment, many men experience improvement.
Key points to consider:
- Blood sugar control: Keeping diabetes well-controlled helps prevent further damage and can improve symptoms.
- Lifestyle changes: Healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol can support better erectile function.
- Medications: Drugs like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and others can be effective and are commonly prescribed.
- Other treatments: In some cases, devices, hormone therapy, or counseling may be recommended.
- Consultation: It’s important to discuss with a healthcare provider or urologist to tailor treatment based on individual health.
Remember, early intervention often leads to better outcomes, so seeking medical advice is beneficial. Many men with diabetes-related ED find significant improvement with appropriate care.

View allI'm a virgin and my penis is 4 inches long, and it's not circumcised. I'm kinda worried about whether that's enough to satisfy a partner. Also, I don't really shave or trim my pubic hair. Is shaving or trimming something that's necessary? Would love some advice.
The typical erect penis is usually 5 to 6 inches long with a circumference of 4 to 5 inches. There's more variation in the size of flaccid penises. Some guys are genuinely smaller than that. In rare cases, genetics and hormone problems cause a condition called micropenis -- an erect penis of under 3 inches. Sometimes Peyronie's disease can reduce a guy's size. Losing weight will reveal more of that hidden shaft that's buried beneath belly fat. It doesn't actually increase your size, but it will look that way...

I've been noticing a white layer forming under the skin of my penis for the past week. The skin feels tighter than usual, and it's becoming difficult to pull it back. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and how do I treat it?
You may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
