When glucose levels are not controlled, they can damage the nerves and small blood vessels, and the normal function of the sexual organs is modified;That is, diabetes can generate erectile dysfunction.
Men at risk of diabetes have between two to three times more likely to present erectile dysfunction, even between 10 and 15 years before those who are not diabetic, according to researchers at the National Coordinating Center for Diabetes (NDCI) Information Coordinating (NDCI)Joined.
When glucose levels are not controlled, they can damage the nerves and small blood vessels, and the normal function of the sexual organs is modified;That is, diabetes can generate erectile dysfunction because it affects both physical (blood circulation), and physiologically (sexual stimuli) to men.
erection and diabetes problems
There is a link between erectile dysfunction and diabetes, even, according to a study by the Medical Center of the University of Michigan, many men who begin with erection problems are unaware that they suffer from diabetes, so it could become a symptom-consequence of consequence ofThe disease.
According to this report in the Clinical Research in Cardiology, everything begins with insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes over time.Diabetes negatively affects arteries and puts it at risk of high blood pressure, which finally raises the probabilities of erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.
Mark Moyad, a university researcher, explains that in this study, young men with erectile dysfunction (children under 40) had greater systolic blood pressure, insulin resistance and cholesterol, as well as a tightening of accelerated arteries, comparedwith boys of the same age without erection problems.
In addition, other studies have shown that when blood glucose levels are raised for a prolonged period of time, they begin to damage the blood vessels and nerves, which affects the signals to the autonomous nerves and with it the blood flowtowards the genitals.
However, specialists explain that to a large extent all this can be prevented, and in some cases reduce, through three simple steps: balanced diet, regular exercise and constant monitoring of blood glucose levels.
