Overcomming Diabetes Related Erectile Dysfunction Using Levitra
by John Scott
E.D. occurs in Diabetic men because:
1. Diabetes restricts blood flow into the penis. Diabetes is known to thicken penile arteries and hence reduces the space for blood to flow
into the penile chambers. Less blood means a limp member or an inadequate erection.
2. Higher glucose levels increase the risk of E.D. in men with diabetes because the build up of blood sugar will likely damage the nerves and
arteries within the penis. When the penile nerves become damaged they wont adequately send signals to the brain that an erection is
necessary.
3. Men with diabetes tend to have lower levels of testosterone which is the principal male sex hormone.
A further problem that makes E.D. worse in men with diabetes is that some diabetes medications tend to increase a patients blood pressure and
may increase anxiety and even cause ulcers. These factors increase the risk of E.D.
How effective is Levitra when used by diabetic men?
A study performed by the University of North Carolinas school of medicine which evaluated the efficacy of Levitra in patients where Viagra
just didnt work, revealed that Levitra (vardenafil) is an effective and safe treatment for erectile dysfunction even for men who were not able to achieve erections using sildenafil (Viagra).
The study revealed that in patients with diabetes related E.D., Levitra was more prone to work than Viagra. Patients that had previously taken
100 mg dosages (the highest Viagra dosage) of Viagra without success tried Levitra and were successful many times over on their first intercourse
attempt.
