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 have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.
A 9mm kidney stone in the right ureter can be managed through medical intervention or surgery, depending on the stone's composition and your symptoms. While drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, can help, it might not be sufficient for a stone of that size. It's recommended to seek medical advice, as other treatments like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy might be necessary

Why do guys pee after they come?
Quite a few men have an urge to pass water after sex. This is due to the fact that there is a little seminal fluid still left in the urinary pipe â and that creates a sensation of fullness.
