Erectile dysfunction ? the inability to get or maintain an erection firm enough for sex ? is common in men who have diabetes, especially those with type 2 diabetes. It can stem from damage to nerves and blood vessels caused by poor long-term blood sugar control. Erectile dysfunction can also be linked to other conditions common in men with diabetes, such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Erectile dysfunction might occur earlier in men with diabetes than in men without the disease. Difficulty maintaining an erection might even precede the diabetes diagnosis. Having erectile dysfunction can be a real challenge. It can leave you and your partner feeling frustrated and discouraged. Take steps to cope with erectile dysfunction ? and get your sex life back on track. Talk to an expert Many men are reluctant to discuss erectile dysfunction with their doctors. But don't let embarrassment keep you from getting help. One small conversation can make a big difference. Here's what to do: ?Tell your doctor what's going on. ?Ask if there's anything you can do to better manage your diabetes ?Ask about other health problems. ?Check your medications. ?Seek counseling. ?Consider your treatment options A number of erectile dysfunction treatments are available. Ask your doctor if one of these may be a good choice for you: ?Oral medications. Erectile dysfunction medications include sildenafil, tadalafil.?Other medications. If pills aren't a good option for you, your doctor might recommend a tiny suppository you insert into the tip of your penis before sex. Another possibility is medication you inject into the base or side of your penis. Like oral medications, these drugs increase blood flow that helps you get and maintain an erection. ?Vacuum-constriction device ?Penile implants. ?Make good lifestyle choices Don't underestimate the difference a few changes can make.

Being overweight can cause ? or worsen ? erectile dysfunction. ?Include physical activity in your daily routine. Exercise can help with underlying conditions that play a part in erectile dysfunction in a number of ways, including reducing stress, helping you lose weight and increasing blood flow. ?Limit or cut out alcohol. Excess alcohol can contribute to erectile dysfunction. If you choose to drink alcohol, do so in moderation. For healthy adults, that means up to one drink a day for men older than age 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger.
