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.

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I'm a bit concerned because I've been noticing semen leakage at night, and it's happening around 3 to 4 times a week. I stopped masturbating about a month ago, and that's when this issue started. Is this something I should be worried about? Could my sudden change in habits be causing this? I'm really unsure about what's going on.
it seems you have a side effects of excessive masturbation... Let me brief you.. Masturbation is a natural phenomenon. All men do this but as a natural principle excess of everything is always bad, so you must try to control it. Don't do it more than once or twice in a month. Don't worry you can do that... just do not watch porn Try not to be remain alone, don't read or view sexual literature, books, whatsApp & porn videos etc. Avoid oily, more spicy, Chilly and junk foods. Do exercise daily for one hr or yoga mainly Pranayam Meditation vajroli Mudra... Ashwini mudra. Start reading religious books. Please note that now a days the main drawback and side effect of the masturbation is once you are addicted to masturbation mostly and always by watching porn where you get different type of stories... relations... girls body... and styles... etc. Once u got married u don't get all those things with wife so u don't get aroused and you don't get proper erection. Now a day's mostly patients comes to us with the complaint that they are not able to get erection with wife in the bed but they are getting erection in the bathroom while masturbation. This is creating a lot of problem in their married life so my advice is to control it. If u are not able to do so then you must consult your family doctor, many times it's not possible to control without the help of your doctor.

I'm only able to ejaculate a few drops of sperm and it happens pretty quickly. Plus, I feel really worn out after. Is this normal? Do you know of any home remedies that can help with sperm production?
Its normal for sperm volume and ejaculation time to vary, but consistently low volume or premature ejaculation may need attention. Feeling very tired afterward can be linked to stress or lifestyle factors. Focus on staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet rich in zinc (nuts, seeds, dairy), and managing stress. If the problem persists, consult a doctor for further evaluation.
