Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your pain. Diabetes is one of the causes of erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is mostly psychogenic. Stress, performance, and anxiety may play a major role in such conditions. So, you should try to keep your blood sugar levels within the normal range and relax.

Some ayurvedic medicines may help to resolve your issue.

I would suggest you the following medications -

1. Dhootapapeshwar Silapravang special one tablet twice a day before food.

2. Keral Ayurveda Manasmitra Gutika (Clitoria ternatea and Acorus calamus) one tablet twice a day after meals.

3. Dhootapapeshwar Madhumeha kusumakar rasa one tablet twice a day before food.

Take the above-mentioned medications for 15 days and provide you feedback.

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.

Investigations to be done

Investigations to be done are blood sugar, blood pressure, lipid profile, testosterone, and semen analysis.

Preventive measures

For prevention, I suggest the following: 1. Avoid spicy and fried junk foods. 2. Quit smoking and drinking if you have these habits. 3. Do regular meditation and pranayam like anulom vilom, nadi shodhan, and bhramari.

Regarding follow up

Take the above-mentioned medications for 15 days and provide you feedback.
