Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my boyfriend is having some impotence problems; he is on medication for diabeties, and is on the HCG injections for weight loss. Could these factors cause impotence or temporary impotence - it isn't all the time, but enough that he is frustrated and embarassed.
Diabetes itself a cause of impotence if sugar levels are uncontrolled. Yes HCG can cause impotency but it is temporary.But still I would suggest him to use diet control and exercises to reduce the weight. Maintain the proper blood sugar levels. Reduce the mental stress by exercises and relaxation. Take nutritive diet reduce carbohydrate content in diet. Drink plenty of water.
