Can diabetes affect male sexual function? Diabetes is closely related to sexual function

Sexual function is the focus of attention for many men. In addition to age, some diseases can also affect sexual function. So, will diabetes affect sexual function?

Diabetes is closely related to sexual function, as follows:

1. Early diabetes has little effect on sexual function; 2. The essence of diabetes is that the high sugar content in the blood vessels causes glycosylation products, Arteriosclerosis, and vascular diseases. According to the insufficiency of blood vessels and nerves, peripheral nerve inflammation, and vascular and neuropathy are caused. After the patients have vascular and neuropathy, their functions are affected to some extent, and even diabetes ED occurs, and they lose their functions completely. The patient must control the blood sugar value stably to prevent diabetes angioneuropathy and damage the function.

The impact of diabetes on male sexual function is positive. Most male diabetes patients have Sexual dysfunction, which is gradual and difficult to detect at the early stage. Most of them have obvious symptoms several years after the onset of diabetes. Early Sexual dysfunction shows that the time from receiving stimulation to erection is prolonged, erection stiffness is slightly or moderately reduced, and erection time is shortened, but libido, sexual intercourse, ejaculation and Orgasm are often not affected, so it is not easy for patients to pay attention. As the condition progresses, the firmness of the penis erection gradually decreases, and the erection time further shortens to the point where sexual intercourse is not possible.

The specific reasons for the decline of sexual function caused by diabetes are as follows:

1. Diabetes patients often suffer from psychological depression and anxiety, which can induce and aggravate the appearance of Sexual dysfunction.

2. Patients with diabetes often have hypertension, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, etc. Taking hypertension drugs, Diuretic and depressants can cause impotence

3. All complications of diabetes are caused by hyperglycemia invading large and small blood vessels of the whole body. When diabetes is caused by vascular diseases and Corpus cavernosum penis microvessels, the erection is unstable or unable due to insufficient blood supply. Vasculopathy in patients with diabetes may be one of the reasons for impotence and testicular dysfunction.

4. It is generally believed that penis erection is dominated by pelvic viscera and Pudendal nerve. When neuropathy occurs in diabetes patients, it will involve the pelvic Sympathetic nervous system system, causing impotence.

5. In patients with diabetes, no semen or semen decrease during ejaculation may be caused by Retrograde ejaculation. Because the pathological changes of diabetes can affect the systematic control of the pelvic autonomic nervous system, the Sphincter at the bladder neck is closed during ejaculation, leading to Retrograde ejaculation. There are a lot of sperm in the urine.
