Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction: Dr. Mistry On Protecting Your Vascular Health [PODCAST]

Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction

Thanks for tuning in to the Armor Men’s Health Hour Podcast today, where we bring you the latest and greatest in urology care and the best urology humor out there.

In this segment, Dr. Mistry and Donna Lee answer a listener's question about low testosterone and diabetes. Inquiring on behalf of her husband, who is only 38 years old with diabetes and erectile dysfunction, our listener wonders how to go about treating the ED given his other medical concerns. Dr. Mistry explains that because this man already has diabetic retinopathy, an eye disease caused by vascular degeneration brought on by diabetes, there is reason to screen him for other vascular changes. Diagnostic imaging such as the HeartWise CT scan and scans of his lower extremities and carotid arteries can rule out a more extensive vascular issue. Then, Dr. Mistry recommends he go on a daily dose of Tadalafil to improve blood flow to the penis and improve erections. He also suggests this listener maintain a healthy lifestyle to avoid dependence on medications. At NAU Urology Specialists, we have an in-house holistic wellness provider, Shefaly Ravula, who helps patients implement a healthy diet and focus on preventative measures.
