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 noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.
It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.
