It is said that men have three fears: one is that they have no money in their pockets, and the other is that they have no success in their careers. The most fearful thing is that women say they can't do it! Among these men who suddenly lost their sexual function (ED), more and more diabetics appeared.
Diabetes is a kind of secretory disease famous for the so-called "three more and less" symptoms of excessive drinking, urine, food and weight loss, while ED refers to male erectile dysfunction, and the two diseases are closely related. Diabetes can cause ED, and ED often "alarms" for diabetes. The incidence of ED in diabetic patients can reach 40% - 60%, which is 3-5 times higher than that in non diabetes patients.

The reason why diabetes is easily accompanied by impotence is related to the following points:
Endocrine abnormality
Because the metabolism of diabetes patients is out of control, the endocrine function responsible for the governing function will also be disturbed, disordered and out of control, which will affect the function of the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and testes, resulting in a sharp decline in the production of various sex hormones, and the erectile function will lose its driving force.
Neuropathy
The high sugar content in the blood of diabetes patients will cause the deposition of some carbohydrate substances (such as polyols) on their nerve fibers. With the degeneration and swelling of nerve fibers, it will also cause the reduction of nerve media released by some nerve endings (such as vasoactive intestinal polypeptides, acetylcholine, etc.), which can promote penis erection. "When the nerves that control the erection of the penis become involved, the erectile function will never recover.".
Angiopathy
Too much sugar in the blood will inevitably lead to an increase in sugar on the blood vessel wall, leading to calcification of the blood vessel wall and degeneration of the inner wall of the blood vessel, ultimately leading to narrowing and narrowing of the blood vessel lumen, which will inevitably affect the blood flow in the blood vessel. When the blood flow to the penis decreases significantly, the penis cannot perform the erectile task well.
More than 50% of male patients with diabetes have erectile dysfunction. Diabetes can give the penis a double whammy. On the one hand, diabetes accelerates arterial disease, damages penile blood vessels, and increases the risk of impotence. On the other hand, diabetes will damage the nerves, resulting in a decrease in the speed of androgen transmission by the nerves throughout the body. As time passes, the penis will also become numb.
Obviously, with diabetes, ED will occur. On the contrary, once ED occurs, we should go back and check whether there is diabetes. Ignoring the treatment of diabetes and dealing with ED alone is often useless.
