Hello PATIENT to 1mg. This problem is very common with diabetes patient. My personal advice is lifestyle changes like exercising, don't wear tight cloths, do pelvic kegal exercise, do lot of foreplay. There are medications but they have side effects so i dont advice first. But i strongly recommend to start healthy life with no stress at all with some antioxidant vitamins and healthy diet. You may take vitamin like DHEA cap, L arginine and herbal ashwagandha capsule. Concentrate on Yoga and meditation and also take help from your partner while foreplay. Use these for couple of months if not improved do few blood tests

At this stage of menopause, I am taking Tab menopace and triple a cal tab. For my hair loss I would like to take tab Kera glow eva which is also multi vitamin tab. Should I continue with both tab or stop taking menopace tab and calcium tab. Thanks
