Doctors' responses
🔍 First: the MAIN cause of your ED Your erectile dysfunction is most likely due to uncontrolled diabetes, not a lack of “sexual strength”. With HbA1c 8.9, diabetes causes: Nerve damage (diabetic neuropathy) Reduced blood flow to penis Endothelial dysfunction Reduced nitric oxide response 👉 Unless sugar control improves, no medicine (Ayurvedic or allopathic) will give lasting results. ❓ Can you take Tantramax? 🔴 Honest answer: NOT advisable in your case Why ❌ Tantramax is a general sexual tonic It does NOT address diabetic nerve & vascular damage Many such products contain: Heavy herbs Sugar-based formulations Stimulants that may worsen sugar control Results are poor in diabetic ED Risk of false hope and delay in proper treatment 👉 At HbA1c 8.9, Tantramax is unlikely to help and may even be counterproductive. ✅ What actually WORKS for diabetic ED (step-by-step) 1️⃣ First priority: Sugar control Target: HbA1c ≤ 7 Fasting sugar < 130 PP < 180 Without this, ED treatment will fail. 2️⃣ Better Ayurvedic options (diabetic-safe) These are more logical than Tantramax: 🔹 Ashwagandha (standardized extract) Improves nerve function Reduces stress-related ED Safe in diabetes 🔹 Shilajit (purified, genuine) Improves mitochondrial energy Supports testosterone naturally Helps diabetic fatigue & ED 🔹 Kaunch Beej (Mucuna pruriens) Improves dopamine & libido Helps erection quality Use cautiously and in proper dose ⚠️ These should be taken individually, not as random combinations. 3️⃣ Ayurvedic formulation specifically for diabetic ED Under supervision, doctors often use: Vrishya Rasayana protocols Nerve-repair focused medicines, not aphrodisiac tonics 4️⃣ Lifestyle changes (non-negotiable) Daily 30–40 min brisk walk Strength training 2–3×/week Good sleep (7 hours) Avoid alcohol & smoking completely 5️⃣ Modern medicine (practical reality) Short-term use of PDE-5 inhibitors (like sildenafil) may help BUT they work better once sugar improves They are not a failure or shame—just a bridge
