Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction In A Diabetic Patient
Question: Hello doctor, I was married one year ago, on this year April I have diagnosed as Diabetic and am 30 years old, while doing intercourse my penis erection is loses down, we are planning for a baby. Could you please advise ?
Brief Answer:
This will be normal soon.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
You are diagnosed as diabetic this April, but it does mean that you might have been having diabetes for a longer duration and got detected recently.
Diabetes is one of the most important reason for ED- Erectile Dysfunction. Other add-on factors are anxiety of performance, stress, exhaustion.
I would like to know why are you not on any medicines?
I am sure once your diabetes is well controlled by a combination of proper diet + exercises + medicines, your erectile dysfunction will be improved to a normalcy. Also take care of the factor which I mentioned.
We have seen many patients to have improved libido and sexual satisfaction after a proper control of diabetes, albeit this can not occur overnight. I am sure that if you maintain perfectly controlled blood sugars , there will be a good improvement.
In addition you can certainly consult an Urologist to see for the causes, investigations like color doppler for penile blood flow, prostate as you are 30.
Take multivitamins supplements as are anyway necessary in all patients of diabetes as they act as anti-oxidants.
For a baby one needs a normal semen and intravaginal ejaculation, which is possible with with mild ED.
This will be normal soon.

Thanks for your reply. I wanted to control diabetes through diet + exercises. Do I really need to take pills to control. Also, I recently checked semen analysis, it shows active sperm is 10% which can move fast, does it mean that am poor. Please suggest to improve semen count. I was not able to have a intercourse daily or even in ovulation period. Do I need to do daily to get pregnant or alternative days is fine.
