DIABETES AND ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION

Posted on by healthshop

Whether you have diabetes or not, erectile dysfunction is a really common condition, and many men will experience it at some point in their life.

There are many names for this condition including impotence, erectile dysfunction or ED, but it is basically when a man is unable to get or keep an erection suitable for sexual intercourse.

There are two known causes of Erectile Dysfunction:

  1. Physical cause
  2. Psychological (Emotional) cause

1.) Physical cause:

Physical causes are such as:

  1. Diabetes
  2. Heart problems
  3. Surgery
  4. Prescribed medication
  5. High cholesterol
  6. Drinking alcohol and Smoking

However, if the problem occurs suddenly, and you are still waking up in the morning with an erection, it is more likely that it has an emotionally related cause.

2.) Psychological (Emotional) cause

The emotional ones are such as:

  1. Stress or anxiety
  2. Relationship problems
  3. Worrying about performance

There are many factors, which may indicate that the problem is likely to be caused by your diabetes. These symptoms generally appear gradually over a period of time.

Symptoms of Erectile Dysfunction

Have you noticed?

  • a gradual deterioration in the frequency of your erections
  • a gradual deterioration in the rigidity of your erections
  • a gradual loss of your morning erections
  • you are unable to maintain your erections

 

If you have Diabetes and think you have Erectile Dysfunction…

1.) Don’t ignore it

If you think you have erectile dysfunction speak to your doctor.

The earlier it is picked up, the easier it is to treat.

2.) Check out your medication

Some people with diabetes take medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol

Unfortunately, some medications needed to control these conditions can be a cause of, or contribute to, erectile dysfunction.

However, just because you take certain medicines doesn’t mean you will automatically develop erectile dysfunction.

3.) Keep your sugar in control

And don’t forget, keeping good control of your blood glucose levels will reduce the risk of developing long-term diabetes complications.

4.) Ask about treatment options

Today there are many different treatments available.

Your doctor will discuss these with you and help you to decide which is the right one for you.

They will also discuss any risks, side effects and usage restrictions which may be associated with your chosen Erectile Dysfunction treatment in Singapore.

Try not to worry Impotence can affect your personal relationship, overall well-being and self-esteem. Worrying can make it worse, causing anxiety and stress.

However, be reassured that you are not alone.

This condition is very common and treatable.

5.) It’s better when you’re fitter

Take up more exercise – you’ll feel fitter, healthier and have more energy

6.) Bad habits are bad news

Smoking and alcohol are both bad news – for your diabetes and your sex life. Ideally you should try to stop smoking and minimise your alcohol intake

7.) Speak to your partner

Talk about your concerns and make sure they know that it is a common problem in men with diabetes. Often partners think it is their fault so they may need some reassurance too.

Involve them as much as possible- their support can make a big difference
