Patient's question:
Because I usually dislike drinking beverages, it has led to my blood sugar being particularly high. Later, after a thorough examination, the doctor said I had diabetes, and I have had this condition for two years. Recently, during sexual activity, I noticed that I cannot get an erection. What should I do about erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes?Doctor's answer:
The male patient has diabetes and has experienced an inability to achieve an erection. It is essential to undergo timely and thorough examination. In most cases, diabetes can lead to erectile difficulties due to medication use or medication side effects. At the same time, it is necessary to rule out the possibility of underlying urological conditions. Attention should be paid to careful examination for conditions such as benign prostatic hyperplasia, fibrosis, and prostatitis. Additionally, it is important to evaluate the impact of high blood sugar itself. If erectile dysfunction is diagnosed, Sildenafil can be used.
