Sexual problems are very common, but we are often influenced by an exaggerated image sold by the media. There are already several solutions to many of these problems today, but there needs to be a frank dialogue with the doctor. Sexual health is also directly related to the complications of diabetes. We at Botany medical Centre can cure any types of sexual health problem.

Erectile Dysfunction:

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as a persistent inability to achieve or maintain a satisfactory erection for sexual activity. Although very common among most men at some point in their life, dysfunction affects people with diabetes more often - and may manifest 5 to 10 years earlier. Even so, ED can be well controlled in almost all men with the disease.

Ejaculation problems:

Ejaculation disorders are a common sexual problem in men with diabetes, affecting 32 to 67% of this population. Men with diabetes who face this issue and have some concern about fertility should seek guidance from trained health professionals.

The age:

According to the American Diabetes Association, at least half of men over 50 who have diabetes develop ED - poor glucose control, smoking, high blood pressure, and cholesterol without treatment and changes in rates.

Why it happens and what to do?

Uncontrolled diabetes causes damage to blood vessel walls, which affect the circulation and flow of blood to the penis. Also, nerve damage can impair the process. In some cases, ED may be a side effect of medicines used to treat diabetes.

The first step in reaching a diagnosis is to tell your doctor, who will ask you some questions and tests to identify the cause. There are several effective treatments for ED, and it is important for spouses to participate in discussions about treatment options. If this happens to you, do not be delay to contact South Auckland doctor.
