Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting your query.

Erectile dysfunction is quite common in diabetics and can be due to poor control of sugars which damages the nerves thus affecting erection.

The most common oral drugs available worldwide for erection are Viagra, Cialis and Levitra, but these are to be taken under Medical Supervision as they can interact with various drugs and appropriate use is determined on the basis of individual case.

Some other available treatments are Intracavernous injection therapy, vaccum constriction devices, intraurethral therapy. You can discuss with your Healthcare Provider regarding this.

Some suggestions for you:

1) Exercise regularly as it increases blood flow.

2) Reduce stress levels as it can affect the erection.

3) Mix pinch of turmeric with Gooseberry juice and have early morning. It helps in overcomiing erection.

4) Practice Yoga and meditation techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no further queries.
