Is A Person With Type 2 Diabetes And High Blood Pressure Able To Have Intercourse?
Hi I am in love with a 65 year old man who I am not having sex with due to religious feelings. He just told me he is impotent and does not sound hopeful that a Dr could help him because he has type 2 D iabetes and takes medications for high blood pressure . I am very interested in making love and wonder if he and I can work this out. what do you think? Any hope at all?

Hope this answers your question.

HI THANKS FOR QUERY
There are only five oral drugs approved by the FDA to treat erectile dysfunction: Cialis, Levitra, Staxyn, Stendra, and Viagra. All work by increasing the flow of blood into the penis so that when a man is sexually stimulated, he can get an erection.BUT ALL THESE MEDICINES ARE CONTRAINDICATED IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENT AND MORE THAN 60 YR AGE.
YOU CAN TRY SOME HERBAL PREPARATION LIKE HIMALAYA Tentex Royal.BUT AFTER CONSULTING TO YOUR gp
