Hello,
Welcome to health care magic. I am Dr Alok Sinha, MD Psychiatry from India. I have read your question carefully and understood it. I can understand your concern. I will try my best to answer your query.
At 26 years of young age the main cause of erectile dysfunction is anxiety. Anxiety may be because of lack of privacy during sexual act, little time for sex, fear of being caught/interrupted, pressure of performance in front of partner or memories of previous failure. Due to anxiety our body's sympathetic system is activated. this increased sympathetic drive is responsible for sexual dysfunctions like erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
I suggest you to relax and consult a nearby psychiatrist who may assess you in detail and help you with some medicines and psychotherapy.
I hope it answers your query. I wish you all the best.

Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to us.
Diabetes is one of the common causes of erectile dysfunction.
It damages nerves and narrows blood vessels to genital organs.
When patients with similar problem come to me, I prescribe them Tab Sildenafil 50 mg or Tadalafil 10 mg to be taken 1 hour prior to anticipated sex. This medicine should be taken under medical supervision.
Discuss this with your primary care physician who treats diabetes. He will also educate you about the acute and chronic complications of diabetes. I understand the psychological impact of sexual dysfunction in both men and women. If possible, kindly involve a neurologist (preferably with expertise in peripheral neuropathy) in the treatment.
I hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please feel free to write to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wish you good health.
