Diabetes has become
a risk in Men's life
This is true that men with diabetes have an increased
risk of developing erectile dysfunction compared with
men without diabetes. Erectile
dysfunction in diabetes has many potential causes,
including the specific diabetes complications of neuropathy
and vascular disease, as well as conditions commonly
associated with diabetes, such as hypertension, use
of various medications or psychogenic factors.
Diabetic impotent men reported worse erectile function
and intercourse satisfaction
at baseline, and ED had a greater impact on their emotional
life. Diabetic men with ED had significantly different
trends over time in the Erectile Function, Intercourse
Satisfaction, Sexual Desire, Overall Satisfaction, and
the Sexual Experience.
It is well established that erectile dysfunction is
a serious condition that becomes more common as men
age. Many older men, however, report that they are never
questioned regarding their sexual function even though
older men can still have satisfactory erectile capacity
and enjoy satisfying sexual
relationships.
As you probably know, impotence is the main sexual
problem experienced by men with diabetes. In fact, as
many as 50-60% of men with diabetes experience impotence
at some point. Impotence, also called male erectile
dysfunction, is the inability to have and maintain an
erection rigid enough for sexual intercourse.
The following factors can cause the problems in
men to experience diabetes-related sexual dysfunction:
- Nerve damage caused by poor blood sugar control
over a long period of time.
- Circulation problems such as heart disease and
high cholesterol, and others that relate to circulation.
- Some medications such as blood pressure drugs,
antidepressants, and stomach ulcer medications may
have side effects that cause sexual dysfunction. Be
sure to check with your doctor to see if any medications
you're taking could cause ejaculation or erection
problems.
- Emotional or psychological factors such as depression,
anger, stress and low self-esteem. These often contribute
to sexual disinterest even if they're not the main
cause.
- Use of recreational drugs like alcohol and marijuana.
- Low testosterone levels.
Now these days, several treatments are available for
sexual dysfunction and it depend upon the physical and
psychological factors specific to your condition. Cialis
is probably the most well known drug that treats impotence.
Diabetes can lead to sexual
problems for women as well. These problems are often
created by a complication known as neuropathy. Diabetic
neuropathy is a nerve disorder caused by diabetes. Symptoms
include numbness and sometimes pain in the hands, feet
or legs. Neuropathy can also affect the nerves that
control internal organs, genitals, small blood vessels
and sweat glands of the skin, bladder muscles, and the
gastrointestinal tract. These nerves are called autonomic
nerves because they control parts of your body that
you don't move voluntarily. Autonomic neuropathy is
the type of nerve disorder that causes sexual dysfunction
in men and women with diabetes.
