Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction: The Ultimate Talk

from Listen. Learn. Lead Hosted by Ernest Martinez

If you are a man with diabetes, we have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that erectile dysfunction (ED), also called impotence, is one of the most treatable complications of diabetes. The bad news: men with diabetes are three times more likely to report problems than non-diabetic men. Studies have shown that men with diabetes may have problems with their sperm that make conception difficult. It is common for men with diabetes and other chronic diseases to cause or exacerbate erectile dysfunction. Believe it or not, erectile dysfunction (ED) is a symptom of diabetes. More than 30 million people in the United States have diabetes. About seven million of these people don't even know they have it. In fact, almost half of all men diagnosed with diabetes will experience ED within ten years of diagnosis. Men with diabetes are more likely to have Peyronie's disease, also known as penis curvature than men who do not have diabetes 3. The link between diabetes and ED is related to circulation and the nervous system. Control of blood sugar levels can damage small blood vessels and nerves. There are many other factors that can contribute to erectile dysfunction in diabetic men. The most important thing to recognize is that 95% of ED cases are treatable. It helps to remember that you are not alone. About half of all men with diabetes suffer from ED. Nerve damage to the penis can occur more frequently due to diabetes. There is no medical reason for this, and it can make a man and his partner feel frustrated and discouraged. If you or your partner have experienced ED, you are not alone.
