Suggest Treatment For Diabetes And Erectile Dysfunction

I am a diabetic and have been for 25 years, since I was 40. I am over weight and I m thinking my prostate could also, along with my diabetes, have an affect with my erectile problem - Viagra has no effect.. It helped a little at this time last year but not any more..what can I do?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

As you stated the diabetes , weight and prostate may also be playing a role in erectile dysfunction.

If the viagra is no longer working, you can either go up to the maximum allowed dose if you are at a lower dose or try one of the alternative medications.
Cialis or levitra can be tried, it is possible that you may have a better response.

If these are not effective, an urologist can provide alternatives to medications.

I hope this helps

Cause of erectile dysfunction in a Diabetic is neuropathy .Over weight in Diabetics is dangerous that too is responsible fo erectile dysfunction. Third Problem is Enlarged prostate.If i have to treat a patient of diabetes with these diseases who comes to my clinic I will advise him for investigations Blood sugar lipid profile Psa and ultrasound scan of lower abdomen.
