Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 2006Am I in line
I'm a newbie on this group and I have a typical male problem that "might" be prostate trouble. I'm 49 years old, have trouble holding / getting an erection. My libido is at an all time low. I have diabetes with 4 insulin injections a day. I have trouble sleeping. I urinate regularly but it is not painful. Is there any one who can tell me if these symptoms are a pointer towards prostate trouble in the future or even now ?. > I'm a newbie on this group and I have a typical male problem that "might" be > prostate trouble.

Have you had a PSA test? I also have diabetes (diet controlled) but a PSA of 4.9 was my first indicator of potential PCa which a biopsy confirmed. There are no symptoms with early PCa, especially not ED-related. Maybe so, I was just wondering if these are typical symptoms of a prostate problem too >> I'm a newbie on this group and I have a typical male problem that "might" > be [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > It sounds like you have the problems of a diabetic. You should have a digital rectal exam and PSA blood test to check on prostate health. However, erectile dysfunction (ED) is commonly associated with diabetes and you should seek treatment. Drugs like Viagra or Cialis may be helpful. There are also injections like Caverject and Trimix that are regularly used by diabetics to induce erections. Vacuum pumps are available with a prescription that can help produce and sustain an erection. The Osbon ErecAid is one of those. Ask your physician or make an appointment with a urologist or ED clinic. This is a very common problem associated with diabetes and it can be managed. The advantages far outweigh any initial embarassment in raising the problem with the medical community who are accustomed to dealing with this issue. |
