Ask Dr, about meds: Both diabetes and hypertension can cause problems with erectile dysfunction. However, some of the medications used to treat hypertension can also contribute to ED. Ask you doctor if you are on any of these medications and if so if they can be changed. Control you sugars and BP as much as possible and if you still have a problem your doctor may advise you to try a medication such as viagra (sildenafil).

Erectile Dysfunction: Certainly there are now many pills on the market that may be helpful in your situation. We already know you have 2 diseases associated with ED. Is your testosterone low, do you have significant depression, is the stress in your life severe right now, are there significant other problems. Therefore, get in and see your doctor for an evaluation.

Check testosterone +: Medication for high blood pressure can occasionally cause erectile dysfunction. But the likely cause for your problem is Diabetes, which can affect the nerves and blood vessels that supply the penis. Men with Diabetes develop erectile dysfunction 10-15 years earlier than non-Diabetic men. To read about the various options go to: http://bit.ly/1w7Eug0 and http:// bit.ly/1wHjFsh
