Around 20 to 85 percent men with diabetes are estimated to suffer from sexual dysfunction. Erectile Dysfunction is a condition of constant inability in men to achieve an erection firm enough to have sexual intercourse. This condition varies in severity from man to man. Some have total inability to have an erection, some are not able to sustain an erection even if they manage to get one, or it can be occasional inability to have or sustain an erection. A current study finds that about 5% men with this condition have undiagnosed diabetes.
Chances of men having this condition are 300% more than men who don’t have diabetes. Also, men who have diabetes usually can suffer from erectile dysfunction as much as 10-15 years earlier than men who don’t have diabetes. So it is obvious that diabetes and sexual dysfunction in men have a proven co-relation.
Diabetes is not the only medical condition that can lead a man toward sexual dysfunction. Other medical conditions that can lead men toward sexual dysfunction are blood pressure, alcoholism, kidney disease, and blood vessel disease. Side effects of medications, smoking, psychological factors, and hormonal deficiencies can also lead to sexual dysfunction.
Lot of men are hesitant to talk to their doctor about this condition. But if you suffer from erection dysfunction, talking to your doctor is the first thing you must do. Your doctor can analyze your family history, your current other medical conditions, perform lab tests to identify the cause of ED. You may be able to get cured if certain medical condition leading you to ED can be treated first.
In general, there is no cure for erectile dysfunction which is commonly known as ED. However, there are ED pills like Cialis, Viagra, and Levitra (also known as Vardenafil) which can treat ED and give you an erection.
