Diabetes and Sexual Problems are corelated and Diabetes itself can directly affect sexuality in several ways
Sexual intimacy is associated with positive emotional and physical benefits.
Peoples are still reluctant to go to the doctor to talk about a sexual problem.
However, many people, whether they have diabetes or not, have sexual problems.
The Journal of the American Medical Association reported in 1999 about a survey
conducted of 1,749 women and 1,410 men aged 18 to 59. The survey found sexual
dysfunction is more prevalent for women than men. Diabetes itself can directly
affect sexuality in several ways. Sexual bonding induces the release of endorphins
which impart a deep sense of relaxation, feelings of well-being, and intimacy.
Problems with desire, arousal, and sexual function in people with diabetes may
stem from: Fatigue from high blood glucose levels Loss of desire as a result
of depression, a more common issue in diabetes Fear of having a low blood glucose
reaction during sex Decreased lubrication or frequent yeast infections in women
Erectile dysfunction in men. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the unspoken
issues for men with diabetes. Many men have impotence problems at some point
during their lives, especially in their 50's, 60's and older. For men with diabetes,
these problems can arrive 10 to 15 years earlier than for men without diabetes.
Viagra has been tested and found effective in men with diabetes. Viagra works
by helping to relax the smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation,
allowing increased blood flow. A study of 268 men with diabetes found improved
erections in 56% of those receiving Viagra.
Anyone who is diabetic and feels that this has caused problems with their sex
life should discuss it with their doctor. If it has been confirmed that the
patient's nervous system has not been damaged by their diabetes and that there
are no associated circulatory disturbances, then there is no reason why their
sex life should not recommence with a little help and support from their partner
and doctor.

men with a safe and effective method for treating ED. For further assistance
