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 20 and I've been hitting the gym regularly, but there's something that's been bothering menightfall with wet dreams, and it's happening 5 to 6 times a month. Could you let me know if this might affect my gym workouts and what I can do to manage or reduce it? I want to stay focused on my goals, so any solutions you could share would be really helpful.

My friend is 28 and has been dealing with venous leak for over a year now. He's seen multiple doctors and done his own research, but apart from surgery, there don't seem to be many treatment options. He's currently using Viagra, but we've heard even the surgery isn't a permanent fix. Recently, we came across stem cell therapy does it actually work for venous leak? Can it fully heal the condition, and what's the approximate cost in India? Would really appreciate some clarity on this.
Stem cell therapy for ED is not the standard tt advised.If medical and surgical therapy doesnot respond the therapy can be tried.Cost of the treatment variess from hospital to hospital.

I'm 21 and I've noticed I haven't been having morning erections for almost a month now. I usually masturbate 3 or 4 times weekly, and I'm wondering what might be the cause. How can I achieve stronger erections, and is there an ideal frequency for how often I should be masturbating in a week or month?
