Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with diabetes last year. The doctor said it was type 2 diabetes, and it can be treated with medication. Since then, I have been taking medication, but it hasn't affected my normal life. However, recently, I don't know why, I can't get an erection during sexual activity. What could be the reason for an erection problem with type 2 diabetes?Doctor's answer:
Erectile dysfunction caused by diabetes has organic causes. Patients with diabetes have unstable blood sugar control, which leads to vascular hardening or insufficient blood supply to the corpus cavernosum, resulting in premature ejaculation. For premature ejaculation caused by diabetes, blood sugar should be controlled, and it is recommended to maintain blood sugar within the normal range. Oral medications such as type 5 phosphodiesterase inhibitors are suggested for symptomatic treatment.
