Avatar n tn I can identify with this one litajohny. I'm a 45 year old male diagnosed with diabetes type 2 and Bi-polar disorder/PTSD(Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I also have poor circulation in my legs. I also take a wide variety of medications for my ailments. Some medication like those for diabetes and heart problems may tend to cause some erectile problems. Could it be that your husbands medications may be the source? Another possibility could be stress factors.
Avatar m tn It is true that diabetes can cause erectile dysfunction but even people with prediabetes may experience erectile dysfunction (ED). This is because nerve damage can occur even before a type 2 diabetes diagnosis, when a person has prediabetes. Poorly managed blood sugar control can damage the blood vessels and nerves, including the blood vessels and nerves in the penis. This type of nerve damage can prevent a man from getting and sustaining an erection.
Avatar f tn It will help both your diabetes and the erectile dysfunction. Likewise, if you smoke, quit. Nicotine causes your blood vessels to constriction and stay constricted for hours after your smoke a cigarette. That damages your vessels and can affect your ability to achieve and keep an erection. See your regular doctor for a complete and thorough check up. Make sure your blood pressure is less than 120/80, check your HgbA1C to make sure your blood sugar is stable and under control.

Avatar m tn Your diabetes is a factor, also. I would advise you to work with a urologist, and if you have, go to another as a second opinion.
Avatar m tn It could be a number of things, depending on your age, health, nutrition, etc. For example, diabetes can have an effect on erections, as can many medications. Psychological reasons are also very, very common: it may be that you’re feeling stressed about things unrelated to sex, it may be that you feel “performance anxiety,” etc. Or you could be feeling physically uncomfortable.
Avatar m tn UNCONTROLLED diabetes can lead to erectile dysfunction (both men and women). diabetes has no direct link to reduction of desire. However being uncontrolled will lead to complications, that lead to depression, that will have an effect on desire. So control your diabetes and have a great sex life!

Avatar m tn If the condition persists, the medical term is erectile dysfunction. Before deciding the treatment it is important to find out the cause which may be responsible for erectile dysfunction in your case. In most men of your age and since you were having regular erections earlier, the cause looks more like psychological. Other medical causes may be diabetes, high blood pressure, heart or thyroid conditions, poor circulation, low testosterone, depression, spinal cord and neurological causes.
