Approximately 45% of people with diabetes may experience erectile dysfunction. At Andrología Barcelona, we are experts and can help you find a solution.
Diabetes as a cause of erectile dysfunction
Why does diabetes affect erectile function?
At Andrología Barcelona, as experts in erectile dysfunction, we explain to our patients that men with diabetes are three times more likely to suffer from impotence. This is due to nerve damage caused by diabetes, which, just as it can lead to loss of sensation in the feet or hands, can also cause digestive problems or erectile dysfunction.
Diabetes, by causing an imbalance in blood glucose levels, can lead to damage to nerves and blood vessels. This directly affects nerve signals and blood flow to the penis, both of which are necessary to achieve and maintain a firm erection. Additionally, diabetes is a condition that can also reduce testosterone levels in the body, a hormone essential for male sexual function.
Treatments for erectile dysfunction in patients with diabetes
Patients with diabetes who suffer from erectile dysfunction respond less effectively to conventional treatments such as oral medications. For this reason, in such cases, at Andrología Barcelona we recommend other treatment options that may prove effective.
From injections to the implantation of a penile prosthesis, we offer a range of options that allow patients to regain their sex lives. Of course, before beginning any treatment, our team of professionals will explain the process, as well as the benefits and potential risks, so that we can make a joint and consensual decision.
