When viagra doesn't work diabetes?

My father has diabetes, and lately, he's been having issues with erectile dysfunction. He tried some medication, but it's not working for him. What options are there when Viagra doesn't seem to work for someone with diabetes?

That can be a very frustrating situation. It's important to discuss this openly with your doctor.

If Viagra isn't working with diabetes, it's a sign that you need to go back to your prescribing doctor. Don't try self-medicating or changing dosages. There could be other underlying issues or alternative treatments your doctor can explore. Time is of the essence for effective management.

Bhai, if one treatment isn't working, it doesn't mean there's no solution. Diabetes can complicate things, so it's very important to talk to your doctor. They might suggest other medications, lifestyle changes, or different approaches. Don't feel discouraged, just keep communicating with your medical professional.

Sometimes issues like this are linked to overall vascular health, which diabetes can impact. While not a direct solution, maintaining good fitness, like regular walking or light exercise (if your doc clears it), can improve blood flow and general health. But seriously, this is a doctor's problem, not something to self-fix. They might adjust meds or suggest other options.

Arre, agar ek dava kaam nahi kar rahi toh doctor se dusri puchho. Har cheez ka ilaaj hai. Diabetes mein body thodi alag react karti hai. Zyada socho mat, seedha doctor ke paas jaao aur unko apni problem batao. Woh sahi raasta batayenge.
