Suggest Remedy For Erectile Dysfunction

I am a type 2 diabetic, I haven t had an erection for a long time est. 5 yrs. My marriage is bad, that is probably one of the problems. I did take an injection at a mens health clinic, but didn t continue. Basically I just kind of gave up, I am 66 yrs. old but I would like to get back to having sex once in awhile. Are there any natural pills out there that increase blood flow to the penis? Thank You

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Depending on the cause, erectile dysfunction may be curable but the condition is almost always treatable for most men. The first step is to visit your doctor, because several health conditions and the medications that treat them can cause erectile dysfunction. I can understand it can be embarrassing to discuss sexual problems with the doctor but if you want to get treated then consulting with doctor is must. Erectile dysfunction is mostly psychological and because of performance anxiety, so once you remove that fear from your mind you won’t have much problem.

If you don’t have psychological erectile dysfunction then there are other treatment options available like sildenafil, penile prosthesis, vascular reconstruction surgery, etc. So, I suggest you to consult doctor on this and discuss about various treatment options best suited for you.

All the best.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prashant Gohil
