Diabetes Health Talk

Not that this is a hush hush subject or anything (what with our daily tv being full of ED commercials) . . . but, if your children read over your shoulders, or you are leery of such discussions, please click here. Thank you

As I said when I first began writing this column, hubby and I talked about things I might discuss here. He told me I had carte blanche and to use him as an example . . . of what NOT to do.

So, I am going to broach the subject of

impotence.

There, I said it - or wrote it - actually, TYPED it.

Impotence can be caused by many things, including injuries, age, and illness. Diabetes is one of the illnesses that might cause impotence in males.

For an interesting read on what can cause impotence and possible treatments read the following page: Points to Remember
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the repeated inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse.
ED affects 15 to 30 million American men.
ED usually has a physical cause.
ED is treatable at all ages.
Treatments include psychotherapy, drug therapy, vacuum devices, and surgery.

And, above all . . . remember that COMMUNICATION plays a key role in working around the problem.

Communication - like anything else - is, essentially, a use it or lose it function in any relationship.

My best to you all.
