Penile function and the impact of diabetes

More than 30 million Americans - 9.4% of the population - are considered to have diabetes - about a quarter of them don't know. Equally worrying is that approximately 84 million Americans are considered pre-diabetes. This serious disease can have a huge impact on a person's health and can have a huge impact on a man's penis health. Understanding how diabetes affects penile function is valuable information for every man.

diabetes

Although diabetes affects both men and women, men between the ages of 35 and 55 are twice as likely to develop diabetes as women. This is worrying because the likelihood of diabetes increases with age - and because criminal function has decreased with age, which means that diabetes may increase penis health problems more.

As many men already know, diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose [also known as blood sugar]. Blood sugar supplies energy to muscles, tissues and brains. People with diabetes need help adjusting their blood sugar. When it gets too high, it can cause many problems, including heart disease, nerve damage [also known as neuropathy], vision problems [including blindness], foot problems and skin conditions. Of course, there are also penis functions and health effects.

Penile function and health problems

What are the common penile problems associated with diabetes? They include:

- Erectile dysfunction. from

  Most men place erectile dysfunction on the list of problems they are afraid of - so if men want to keep their penile erection functioning properly, then men do need to stay away from diabetes. More than half of people with diabetes also have erectile dysfunction, which means they are three times more likely to develop erectile dysfunction. The reason is complicated, but it basically comes down to the nerve damage to the penis and poor circulation.

- Curved penis. from

  Many men have some slight curvature of the penis; in fact, many people find that a certain degree of curvature is aesthetically pleasing. But when the penis bends to the extreme so that it affects function and/or causes pain, it means that a man has a condition called Peyronie's disease. Diabetic men are more likely to develop this curved penile syndrome than men without men.

- Thrush. from

  The male yeast infection of the penis is called thrush - diabetes increases the risk of thrush. This is because hyperglycemia makes the environment in which yeast grows and reproduces more hospitable.

Low testosterone. from

  Studies have shown that men with diabetes are more likely to develop testosterone, although this is the result of diabetes itself or a risk factor for diabetes [such as obesity] is unclear. Low testosterone not only contributes to erectile function problems, but is often associated with loss of libido.

- Retrograde ejaculation. from

  Although still rare, retrograde ejaculation is a complication associated with diabetes. In this case, some or all of the male semen is implanted in the bladder instead of ejaculation by criminal methods.

treatment

Diabetes is a very serious condition that requires a doctor to work with the best treatment. It is often desirable to monitor blood glucose levels, and typically the medication must be administered by the patient to maintain blood glucose at an appropriate level of health.

Penis function may be affected by diabetes and poor penis health, so use a good penis care cream from

[Health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, clinically proven to be mild, safe for the skin] from

 It may be beneficial. The best creams contain L-arginine, an amino acid that plays a role in the production of nitric oxide in the body. This in turn helps to expand the penile blood vessels when they need to adapt to an increase in blood volume. The cream chosen should also include vitamin C, which also helps maintain proper blood flow.
