Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction

Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction

Men with diabetes are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction 10 to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes. The condition is even more evident in men with diabetes (Excessive Sugar Consumption Effects) as they age. According to studies, men aged 50 and above, experience difficulties maintaining an erection in 50-60% of cases.
 

What Causes Erectile Dysfunction in Men With Diabetes?

Several men with diabetes and erectile dysfunction suffer from nerve, muscle, and blood vessel impairments. The impairments differ from patient to patient, depending on the type of diabetes, the diet and the maintenance plan that the patient is under.
An erection involves several bodily functions. To get an erection, a man needs to have healthy blood vessels, sufficient levels of male hormones, properly functioning nerves, and a sexual stimulus (Sexual Stimulus Wiki Page). A patient may have damages to any of these factors, causing difficulties reaching a firm erection.
Diabetes and erectile dysfunction go hand in hand when diabetes can impair a patient’s nerves, blood vessels, and muscles which control an erection. Even with adequate male hormones and a healthy sexual stimulus, a man with diabetes who is suffering these impairments may not be able to sustain an erection. In result, a man’s desire to be stimulated may be downplayed. The condition therefore has mental implications that then prevent a man from getting an erection (Dr. Elist Tips for Getting Harder Erections).
 

Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction Treatments

Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction Info
Diabetes and Erectile Dysfunction Supplements

While there are a number of treatments available for diabetes and erectile dysfunction, such treatments and medication would not be suitable for a patient with diabetes.  A popular medication for diabetes and erectile dysfunction is Viagra. Viagra (Erectile | Erectile Dysfunction Remedies) has Phentolamine. This drug relaxes muscles to allow blood to flow freely. Men with diabetes and erectile dysfunction have a tendency to have problems with their heart and blood vessels, so those who take medications for their heart are strongly advised not to take medicine to facilitate an erection. Such drug combinations may have adverse reactions to the patient.
However, patients with diabetes can consider taking other treatments to help with both diabetes and erectile dysfunction. The patient’s physician evaluates their health and ability to tolerate the treatment in order to recommend the best route for each patient.
