is the erectile dysfuncton is because of the body weakness in diabetic patients or is the complication of the dieases???? the term that doctors at the urology clinic favour at this point is ''multi factorial''-as you have hinted in your question it is a combination of worry,how bad you feel on the day and the effect of the long term complications;irritatingly it does seem to be very difficult to weigh each factor or assess how they affect each other
almost the first port of call is the idea that your entree to the potency stakes is a low and stable blood sugar level-of course i tried to dodge this and short circuit this point for years reason
being that what was the connection in nature between feeling good and reproducing;but nature has decreed that the animal has to be in fine fettle and arranged so that everything is interconnected and the system operates at the level of the lowest
point;the point of all this fancy waffle is to impress on you that you can not cheat when the diabetes has got to a certain point and you must stabilise your sugar to get a result-i tried everything and nothing worked
the problem here is that a stable low blood sugar is a notoriously hard to achieve and even harder to maintain=it depends on the eating the right amount of hte right food at the right time;anyhting ,flu,heat or cold ,infection or stress can affect it and sometimes it just seems simply perverse and to be honest it is a full time job in itself-forward planning is essential as is avoidng stress and you know how likely this is these days;another problem is that it becomes extremely boring sticking to the plain food required in he diet and as it on your mind all the time lack of spontaneity is a big problem-after you achieve the impossible balancing act of stabilisation there will be a period of indeterminate length while you adjust to the new lower sugars and another readjustment period while you overcome the mental hang up of having been impotent;at this pout it is your mind whichj is stopping you and memory of former failure-what is a matter of some despair is that when you first arrive at the urology
clinic the doctor's first enquiry is about your partner and you are
tempted to point out that you do not need to have a partner to
have an erection and you were expecting a simple physical
solution-this is the importance fo the mental aspect of the problem-pathetic,isn't it, but half of any impotence book will be
given over to this mental recovery stage
none of this will help if the complications have gone too far-if there has been any arterial damage to the heart and it can not produce the vast output of blood needed to build an erection, and
of course it needs to arrive in the penis;at this point or rahter before this the excitory signal from the brain has to be undiluted
by alcohol or fatigue or elevated bs or poor mood in order to open
the muscles to trap the blood in the penis and not allow it to escape;nitric oxide has to be produced in a multi step chemical pr
process and if the oxygen pipeline has been cut off by alcohol
consumption or if the deep pencil like carvenosal arteries are blocked by fatty deposits or if they are compressed by bike riding blood will not enter the corpus spongiosum and enlarge it so that it erects the penis and forms a seal to allow the veins to trap the blood inside and maintain-smoking is a risk factor in destroying ththis seal and the erection will be quickly lost like a leaky balloon
in this venous leak effect-interestingly cos the corpus does not hold blood like it used to it does not enlarge enough to block off
the bladder with the result that the ejaculate goes back into the
bladder and in my case stings and is very disruptive to the moment of climax;this change occurred overnight in my case and the doc tells me it is probably permanent
i hope that you are a cheerful type rather than the angry resentful person i have become;you will need to be very cheerful and positive to maximise your chances and very clever and thorough to deal wiht the diabetes;this answer has gone on and on to give
you a full flavour of the problem-viagra may work well for you and i
it did nothing for me-repeat,control of the blood sugar and
positive mental attitude and good overall physical health-exercise
and good blood pressure
just by way of really p**ssing you off bear in mind that your attitude here is the same as to any other problem in life and you
only get out what you put in;-you will get plenty of htis irritating
advice even from the prosfessionals and thsi reflects hte
vague elusive multi factorial nature of the problem try not to
get angry at times i have felt they were laughing at me and
winding me up oh yeah i didnt mention the bitter irony of the corrective medicine also producing impotence-what am i doing back here,i already got five stars for this question-but keep rotating the medicine until the effect disappears
a big problem but solvable Report It
complication of the disease and its effect on the nervous and circulation system one the complications caused by being a diabetic ask your doctor. Autonomic neuropathies affect the nerves that regulate vital functions, including the heart muscle and smooth muscles. Low blood pressure, diarrhea, constipation, sexual impotence, and other symptoms can be caused by autonomic neuropathies.
Please see the webpages for more details on Diabetic neuropathy. 2 parts:
Vascular due to increased athersclerosis in the vessels. Erection is caused by blood flow - impaired blood flow leads to impotence. This is how Viagra and the other drugs work - they dilate the vessels allowing for more blood flow.
Nervous due to neuropathy.
This could be all vascular, all neuropathy, or a combination of the 2. In any case, good control is imperative to prevent further damage to the boddy, and these drugs (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) work great. |
