Diabetes and sex drive
Diabetes is linked to many abnormalities.
According to statistics, about half of all men who have diabetes suffer from erectile dysfunction.
This problem can be more severe and less responsive to treatment than what men with impotence
generally experience.
The main way diabetes are directly responsible for erectile dysfunction relates to blood vessels
narrowing, a common occurrence with diabetes. A lack of good blood circulation caused by poor
condition of vessels, means that not enough blood can flow in and out of the penis.
This effect of diabetes make it especially difficult for men to achieve or maintain an erection.
With no doubt there are many ways that men with diabetes can take to prevent and potentially
overcome erectile dysfunction.
- weight control,
- cholesterol control,
- blood pressure control
- smoking cessation
By changing unhealthy habits and seeking out treatment options for
erectile dysfunction, the majority of men with diabetes can lead sexually active lives.
Such lifestyle changes can lead to better sugar control and improve complications of diabetes,
including the development of erectile problems.
Along with lifestyle changes, several anti-impotence drugs can be used for erectile dysfunction.
The three drugs on the market—Viagra, Cialis and Levitra—are equally effective, and over
50 percent of patients with diabetes respond.
Similar to the warnings for men in general, diabetes patients who are taking nitrate medicines for
heart disease should not take Viagra-like drugs because the combination may raise the risk of
heart attacks. Diabetes does not present any further risks.
