Erectile dysfunction in diabetes patients
Diabetologia Praktyczna 2010;11(6):216-220.
Abstract
BACKGROUND. Erecticle dysfunctions are one of the
last diabetes complication. The mechanism of this
problem is very composite. It mostly occurs as a result
of accumulation of many factors. The problem
induced us to deepen this matter and to gain broader
knowledge about that. Erectile dysfunction is one
of the late complications of diabetes, and the
mechanism of these disorders is very complex.
Frequently they result from the cumulation of many
factors. This is a problem that has prompted us to
explore this subject and a wider understanding of
the problem.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. In the Department of Balneology and Physical Medicine there were conducted surveys on men’s intimate life. A retrospective anonymous questionnaire consisted of interviews and five questions on the quantity and quality of the intimate sphere. The studies lasted from July 2006 to August 2009. We examined a total of 205 patients, including 115 men with diabetes and 90 patients without disturbances of bicarbonate.
RESULTS
1. 5.2% of diabetic patients estimate it at very high level the potential to achieve an erection (14.4% in the control group).
2. Only 22.7% of patients with diabetes had nearly always erection (48.9% in the control group).
3. As many as 10.4% of diabetic patients almost never maintained an erection during sexual intercourse.
4. Satisfaction with intimate life only occurs in 43.5% of patients (71.1% in the control group). (Diabet. Prakt. 2010; 11, 6: 216–220)
