Am suffering from ED, have diabetes and a Heart patient age 55
Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification & drug treatment will help.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
You have diabetes and heart disease. These two factors itself can contribute to erectile dysfunction.
First and foremost thing is to control blood sugar levels.
Second, some lifestyle modifications like eating green vegetables and fruits in diet, regular exercise as per your potential, avoiding alcohol and smoking will prove helpful.
Kiegels exercise to increase strength of pelvic muscles will also be beneficial.
If these doesn’t work, tadalafil (prescription drug) will be the specific drug of choice in your case as it is relatively safe in heart disease and diabetes.
But take drug only under your doctor's supervision.
Vigomax is an ayurvedic formulation of questionable efficacy.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further queries.
