Over 60% of men with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes experiences Erectile dysfunction (ED). This is not a permanent condition, as there are ways including natural treatment in which erectile dysfunction from diabetes can be reversed.
Erectile dysfunction is related to insufficient blood flowing to the penis, emotional issues, or problems with the nerves to the penis, all of which can result from diabetes. men with diabetes are more likely to develop erectile dysfunction 10 to 15 years earlier than men without the condition.
It requires healthy blood vessels, nerves, male hormones, and a desire to be sexually stimulated for men to get an erection. But, diabetes can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control erection to cause erectile dysfunction regardless of the normal amount of male hormone or desire to have sex.
Diabetes causes ED by impairing nerve, blood vessel, and muscle function.
