In this video Doctor O'Donovan explains key things you need to know about sexual health problems in men with diabetes - a very common, but rarely discussed problem. Overview of Sexual Dysfunction and Diabetes Sexual dysfunction is a common issue that can affect anyone, but individuals with diabetes are at a higher risk. This complication arises primarily due to prolonged high blood sugar levels, which can also lead to high blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels. These conditions damage blood vessels and nerves, including those critical to sexual function, potentially leading to reduced blood flow and sensation loss in sexual organs. Impact of Diabetes on Men's Sexual Health Diabetes significantly increases the risk of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men, making them three times more likely to experience difficulties in achieving or maintaining an erection. Factors contributing to ED in diabetic men include reduced blood flow, nerve damage, and medication side effects. However, treatments such as Viagra and Cialis are available, though they should be used under medical supervision due to potential risks like heart problems. Additionally, therapy and counseling can offer valuable support in managing ED. Dealing with Thrush and Diabetes Thrush, a fungal infection, is more common in diabetic individuals due to high sugar levels that facilitate fungal growth. Symptoms in men may include soreness, itching, discharge, and difficulty retracting the foreskin. Preventive measures include maintaining blood sugar levels, practicing good hygiene, and wearing loose clothing. Emotional Well-Being and Support The psychological impact of sexual dysfunction can be profound, affecting overall well-being and sexual activity. It is crucial for individuals facing these challenges to seek support. See the links below for some helpful resources. ALWAYS SPEAK TO YOUR OWN DOCTOR if any of these issues affect you.
