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 soft lump in my right testicle that hurts when i touch it is this something serious i really dont want to get surgery for it
A soft, painful lump in your right testicle warrants immediate medical attention, even if you are hesitant about surgery. While many scrotal masses are benign, some can be a sign of testicular cancer, which is curable if caught early. It's crucial to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan from a doctor, potentially a urologist, to determine the cause and best course of action.

I'm really curious about the effects of masturbating every day. I've seen mixed opinions online some say it's bad for you, while others seem to think its totally fine. Its confusing and Id love to get a clear answer on whether it's actually a problem or not. What's the right perspective on this?
Masturbating daily is generally not harmful for most people, as long as it doesnt interfere with daily life, relationships, or cause distress. However, if you feel it's becoming excessive or affecting your well-being, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
