hi diabetic from 8 years, unable to maintain erection for more than 1 minute, please tell me its a problem of venous insufficiency or venous leak. thanks?

Question

Husband is a diabetic. We have been trying to concieve for 3+ years. Also he has hard time getting and maintaining an erection. Help please.?

Answer 1

See urologist...: Despite of young age, 26, the history suggests diabetes-related nerve impairment leading to ed although venous leak may be the culprit. Remember: every life event results from its multifactorial lifelong making, so, collect the feature, degree, and progress of the symptoms with their detailed consequence of events, bring those to urologist for analysis, more history, physicals, and tests as needed.

Answer 2

Swimming: Swimming is a great exercise as you get farther along in a pregnancy. Aside from being an excellent form of cardio fitness, it is less traumatic on the body and the buoyancy makes it easier to exercise with the extra weight that comes with the pregnancy.

Answer 3

Taking it easy!: Your ob/gyn is, by far, the best person to answer this type of question.

Answer 4

Variable: If you have achieved an extremely high level of fitness including high impact exercises, you might not be able to do this. I know of runners who still ran, though a little slower, almost to their delivery date. Much depends on you and your routine and anatomy/physiology. Swimming , reclining cycle, treadmill or outdoor walking. If a runner, see how it goes. May want to wear something, in case.

Answer 5

Water intake: Srink water of you are thirsty, or if you see very dark yellow urine. Otherwise, your kidneys can take care of themselves. There is no evidence that extra water makes any difference for kidney health.

Answer 6

See below: Excess water intake has nothing to do with kidney function or kidney health. Drink water to quench your thirst. The kidneys ofcourse need water intake as waste is eliminated wth the water, but id does not mean that more water will eliminate more waste the kidneys regulate water elimination as well.

Answer 7

Water consumption: Surprisingly the kidney is able to function on 400-800 cc a day of fluids but what is recommended is really based on 1) heart function 2) history of kidney stones 3) current kidney function 4) other losses of fluid 5) achieving a certain urine output. In general a healthy person should drink 40-50 oz a day.

Answer 8

Many factors: An erection is a vascular, neurologic and hormonal event. Therefore, problems with blood vessels, nerves and hormones can all cause erection difficulties. A doctor's visit can help figure out where the problem is and provide appropriate treatment. The most concerning thing is that men under 50 with erectile difficulties have a 2 times higher risk of developing heart disease in the next 10 years.

Answer 9

Poor blood flow: There are many reasons for men to have for directions but the primary cause is poor blood flow to the penis causing weak erections. Impotence may also be Due to hormonal Neurological or psychological issues

Answer 10

Viagra (sildenafil): You shouldn't take another tablet for at least 24 hours. Next dose, try crushing or chewing the viagra (sildenafil) tablet. In some men, the tablet doesn't dissolve and is not absorbed well. Crushing or chewing the tablet before swallowing it may solve this problem. If not, you may want to get an appointment with a urologist.

Answer 11

The sleep cycle.: Erections occur as part of the sleep cycle. This is called nocturnal penile tumescence (npt) and occurs 3-5 times per night, with the last one noticed as a morning erection. The cause is not known, but there appears to be a neural and hormonal circuit which is disinhibited during sleep, specifically in the rem stage of sleep.
