My name is Tony Richards and when I turned 40 years old I began having unusual health symptoms including a powerful thirst and numbness in my hands. I went to see my doctor and after running tests he determined that I had diabetes. My doctor prescribed medicine for my condition and he also told me to make some lifestyle changes or the diabetes would get worse. I didn't want that to happen so I began researching ways to control diabetes. After implementing these ideas, my condition actually got better and I was able to reduce the amount of medication I was taking. If your doctor has diagnosed you with diabetes, it's very beneficial for you to read my blog so your condition doesn't worsen. I hope that by following this blog, it will help you to control your diabetes too.

ED Treatment Options For Men Who Want To Avoid "The Pill"
For Content
If you struggle with erectile dysfunction, one option to consider is "the pill" — medication that increases blood flow to the penis to stimulate an erection. This medication works well for a lot of men, but it is not for everyone. Sometimes, it can cause unwanted side effects. Or, you may be unable to take it because it interferes with another medication that you take. If this is the case, there are other, alternative ED treatment options to explore. Take a look:
Testosterone Gel
Not every case of ED is due to low testosterone, but many are. Or, your ED may have a different underlying cause, but low testosterone levels worsen it. If this is the case, using a testosterone gel can be really helpful in managing your ED. You can apply the gel to your chest or thighs, and it will be absorbed through your skin and into the bloodstream. Once your testosterone levels are higher, you should have an easier time achieving and maintaining an erection. Some men use testosterone gel daily, and others only use it on an as-needed basis. Your doctor can administer a blood test to determine your circulating testosterone levels, and they can make dosing recommendations based on the results.
Urethral Suppositories
Urethral suppositories are tiny pellets that you can insert into your urethra in order to stimulate an erection. You would insert one before you plan on having intercourse. Then, you'd wait for an erection to develop, which should only take a few minutes. Urethral suppositories usually contain the same type of medication you'd find in "the pill." However, since you are not taking the medication orally, the risk of side effects is lower. Some men who cannot tolerate the pill have good luck with suppositories. They may cause a slight burning sensation upon insertion, but this fades away rather quickly.
Vacuum Erection Devices
If you'd rather avoid medications entirely, then a vacuum erection device is another option to explore. This is a device you place around your penis. You then operate a pump to create suction pressure, which draws blood into the penis, causing an erection. Some men find this very effective, while others find that they lose their erection too quickly once the device is removed. There's little to no risk in giving it a try to see whether it works for you.
If you struggle with ED and don't want to take "the pill," you have other options. For more information on ED treatment, contact a professional near you.
