Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction In A Diabetic
Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 18 months ago. A1C last check up a month ago was 5.8. Local GP excellent but I think I should see a specialist. Do you know of any top flite specialists in Boston. I live in Kennebunk Maine. I ve got ED. Viagara doesn t help. I can not walk more than 5 minutes without feet and calves aching. I ve tried the treadmill. Didn t help. I think a specialist can answer these questions.

Hi,
To overcome erectile dysfunction in a diabetic, the following things can be considered.
1. Practice 'pause and squeeze' technique regularly, which helps to keep erectile tissues healthy.
2. Practice pelvic floor strengthening exercises regularly, which restores adequate strength to the muscles.
3. Intake of nuts, saffron, milk, almonds and papaya are known to improve blood supply to the penis.
4. Practice meditation as it would decrease stress and improves confidence.
Take medications like Tadalafil only when necessary. Gradually, you should be able to overcome the problem. In the meantime, kindly get your cardiac evaluation done by consulting Cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
