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:

  1. Blood sugar control: Keeping diabetes well-controlled helps prevent further damage and can improve symptoms.
  2. Lifestyle changes: Healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol can support better erectile function.
  3. Medications: Drugs like sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), and others can be effective and are commonly prescribed.
  4. Other treatments: In some cases, devices, hormone therapy, or counseling may be recommended.
  5. 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.

Found out I have a 7.1 mm stone in my right VJU calculus. Can it pass on its own or will I need surgery for this? I've been told there's a 7.1 mm stone in my right VJU calculus.

Yes possible, but you can only wait if you don’t have intense pain, vomiting, fever and decreased kidney function. You can try Cap. Tamfil S once a day for 7 days. Filter urine for stone. If is doesn’t come out, then you need a ureteroscopy
