Nutrition & exercise: Use nutrition & exercise to get your diabetes under control as high sugars damage nerves & blood vessels necessary for erections. Use nutrition & exercise to get blood pressure & cholesterol under control as these two factors affect blood flow necessary for erections. If you smoke, quit. If you drink to excess, stop. Review your medications w/your family doc & your relationship w/your partner.

See urologist: See urologist for examination and testing, and following this possible medications (pills or injections); only if these do not work, then other options are available.
