Diabetes is one of the causes of marital problems. Sexual potency is a fundamental requirement in marriage. When the man or the woman discovers sexual displeasure at any particular point in time, expression of concern becomes inevitable.

Diabetes is one of the most common causes of sexual weakness (impotence) amongst men. To understand how this occurs, let us briefly understand the mechanism of erection.

Mechanism of Erection

An erection begins when a man is sexually aroused, either physically or psychologically. The action is masterminded by a nervous pathway known as Parasympathetic Nervous Pathway. It is the stimulation of this nerve that triggers the process of erection.

The arousal triggers the release of a substance in the body called Nitric Oxide. This substance causes an increased level of a powerful substance called cyclic GMP (Guanusyl MonoPhosphate). The latter performs the wonders of erection by causing forceful opening and enlargement of the blood vessels supplying blood to the penis, thereby causing blood to rush into the chambers of the penis (Corpus Cavernosum Spongiosum).

These erectile tissues, when filled with blood, expand both in length and in width and by so doing, compress the veins (blood vessels carrying blood away from penis), thus blocking out flow. When this happens, the blood-filled penis becomes strong and rigid, thus you have an erection.

However, following ejaculation or loss of the sexual stimulus, another substance called Phosphodiesterase is released in order to bring the penis back to normal, otherwise the penis will remain erect and cause pain; a condition known as Priapism, commonly seen in sickle cell patients. The substance Phosphodiesterase causes quick reduction in that substance that open the blood vessels i.e. Cyclic GMP.

By so doing, Phosphodiesterase reduces the inflow while increasing out flow of blood from the penis, thus falling of the organ.

From the understanding of how erection occurs therefore, we can make the following deductions:

1. Whatever impairs or damage the parasynthetic nerves which supply the erectile organ, the penis, would invariably affect erection.

2. Whatever affects the flow of blood to the chambers of penis also affect erection

Diabetes is the most common documented disease that affects the two vital factors (nerves and blood flow) in erection. Diabetes causes impotence by its damaging effects on the nerves and blood vessels. Studies have also shown that nearly all people with diabetes have abnormal cholesterol levels which contribute to their increased risk of developing atherosclerosis, narrowing of the blood vessel; a principal contributor to poor blood flow to the chambers of the penis, resulting in impotence.

However, the good news about diabetes-induced impotence is that as soon as the blood sugar is controlled, things get back to original state, particularly, if management starts early.

Diabetes patients have always been bothered by possible diabetes control means that will enable them get on with their life.

Below are few sure diabetes information that will help a patient put his or her problem to a reasonable level:

-Dietary management: In general principle, dietary measures are required in the treatment of all diabetic patients in order to achieve the overall therapeutic goal.

-Endeavor to exercise yourself as much as possible.

Let’s share our points of view and opinions. Nowadays nobody can be surprised by anyone’s confessions. You hear so many shocking stories everyday than ordinary problems are not to be bothered about anymore, in the sense of gossip, of course.

Men are scared of being talked about. No, we don’t mean their appearance or salaries, we mean sexual potency. They want to impress ladies with being delicate good lovers and when they are not – something breaks inside them. They become very vulnerable and sex turns into their touchy subject – the one to avoid.

Erectile dysfunction has taken over the world. We don’t want to be funny about it or try to make it sound like a joke. Because of the fact that people are so addicted and dependent on bad habits and inadequate lifestyle it is difficult to stay healthy.

For the past years the issue has been talked about a lot. Doctors have been interviewed, men have been tested, and women have been asked. Different people have different things to say but mostly everybody agrees that erectile dysfunction can and should be treated.

If you ask any Medical specialist about erectile dysfunction they will tell you that everything big starts with little. Most men want to see result here and now and when they don’t’ see in within an hour they drop the idea of the treatment. This is the wrong attitude to have and mainly this attitude leads people to the problems they have.

Today men are ready to communicate but even 5 years ago they would hide away and try to shut themselves off fro reality that they thought was totally unfair to them. Due to the medical progress many different drugs appeared – some of them better than the rest but there is always a variety to choose from depending on the prescription.

Viagra is one of the most recognized pills by name and color. The color of the drug is blue so people have also given it the name – “blue pill”. Millions of men across the country have seen the light at the end of the tunnel with this pill. They confess it is exactly what makes them happy in bed. It is a little confidence secret that satisfies the whole couple.

There are a few rules to remember if you are about to start your Viagra treatment with the doctor. First of all, yes it is a prescription drug that has a particular dosage. If taken out of proportion the drug can take your body to an unsafe level and not let go. If you overall body state is diagnosed as weak you might ask your physician if the erectile dysfunction treatment is right for you. There might be some other way out of the situation but everything is strictly individual. What gives you side-effects might not do for us and vice versa.

Viagra works by increasing the flow of blood to the penis and its surrounding areas. It acts as a tonic for arteries and veins that surround your penis. As the regulated blood supply in the penis, it is not problematic to produce an erection, showing your sexual stimulation.

The drug should not be portrayed as you life-time pill that one should consume once in their life but usually it is a treatment that lasts for as long as you want to be sexually active. One dose per day is more than enough to be totally satisfied showing some continuous love to your partner and getting back the lost self-confidence. Try it – you will enjoy your sex … trust our word!
