80% ~ 90% of diabetic patients with different degrees of sexual function decline, in which men showed erectile dysfunction (ED), while women showed sexual cool! Guangzhou City No. 1 People's Hospital Department of Endocrinology, chief physician Xiao Hua said that some patients did not aware of the harm it is diabetes, but also embarrassed to tell the doctor, ultimately affect their quality of life, and even in some cases, Naoqi a divorce. A 24-year-old patients with type Ⅰ diabetes mellitus, after 5 years of treatment, blood sugar has been relatively stable. But the young man and his wife after marriage was not harmonious, the original, boy often ED symptoms, new wife do not understand that he intends to snub himself, once the two sides also Naoqi a divorce. Later, after medical treatment, young man back to health, this year gave birth to a healthy child. Sexual dysfunction with exacerbations He noted that diabetic patients with sexual dysfunction symptoms of the disease increased gradually increasing. Patients had a normal sexual desire, ejaculation and there you can orgasm, only the symptoms of penile erection will not be strong. With the extension of duration of diabetes, can gradually develop into complete impotence. Why is diabetes associated with sexual dysfunction easy? This is due to high blood sugar can have a nerve polyol deposition, which can cause degeneration of nerve fibers lose their function. Peripheral nerve lesions can affect the feel of the penis, thereby reducing the penile erection response, such as the penis occurred on the autonomic nervous system damage, will enable the erectile tissue in the regulation of blood vessel out of control, so cavernous congestive can not be completed. In addition, diabetic patients prone to artery atherosclerotic plaque causes the arteries to narrow cavity, the penis will be in the capillary basement membrane thickening, which will cause the reduction of blood supply to be affected by erection. Diabetes also causes patients to reduce the level of sex hormones, thus affecting sexual function. Diabetes, 40% ~ 60% of patients with hypertension, while the majority of antihypertensive drugs can cause ED. According to statistics, about 1% ~ 2% in patients with diabetes will occur retrograde ejaculation, that is, an orgasm, when semen from the urethra outside the mouth are not fired, but a counter-current to the bladder, bladder neck with the patient's autonomic control damage to related to ejaculation, when the should be in closed state into an open bladder neck. Impotence can be a symptom of diabetes earlier, the doctor recommended a phenomenon should be related to erectile dysfunction diabetes checks. If confirmed to have diabetes should be actively treated, carefully controlled diet, regular application of hypoglycemic drugs. Diabetes under control, impotence symptoms can also be improved. Medication may be appropriate to improve the ED From the clinical point of view, regardless of type Ⅰ or type Ⅱ diabetes mellitus caused by decreased sexual function, are not organic disease, but functional obstacles. The reason is, there are physical factors, but also psychological effects. "ED caused by diabetes can be cured." Xiao-hua said that for diabetes caused by ED, can be treated from the following aspects: First, to conduct psychological adjustment, such as should overcome pessimism and establish a disease-fighting confidence; to eliminate anxiety and tension caused by emotional burden, from the spiritual to the physical should relax and maintain a good mood, all help to overcome obstacles, if necessary, should see a psychiatrist. Meanwhile, the active hypoglycemic antihypertensive treatment, as far as possible down to the normal range of blood pressure and blood sugar remains stable. In addition, the promotion of autonomic function may take some adjustment and improvement of microcirculation in the body of medicine. For the men, under the guidance of a doctor occasionally like to take Viagra for erection of medicine is also feasible. But need to note that diabetes complications in the risk of cardio-cerebral vascular diseases already much higher than normal, this kind of drugs to improve the prevalence of ED caused by angina, myocardial infarction, the risk of high blood pressure, etc., so diabetics to eat a normal amount of 1 / 2 to 1 / 3 on the list, Do not overdose. Diabetic person's sexual life, according to each person's circumstances, the condition of light, the age of light, the normal sexual desire, you can lead a normal sexual life, but restraint; condition heavier, and some of older, although of requirements, but less than the normal 2 / 3, but also a way to change the sex life, moderation. Not only to avoid the intense action of sexual intercourse, and sex life should be focused on areas caress. Female patients not to ignore the frigidity Xiao-hua said that many men suffering from diabetes, to see the doctor, the physical sexual dysfunction as a chief complaint of reasons, but women are seldom mentioned. Diabetes can cause cold female sexuality, genital itching, dry, painful intercourse and other symptoms, but in hospital, and are looking genital itching. For the sexual apathy, many female patients, or find it difficult to tell whether, or simply did not realize that this is an illness. In fact, women's sexual function problems diabetes can not be ignored, in addition to the lack of orgasm proportion of patients, some degree of female patients a slight decrease in vaginal lubrication, sensitivity to autonomic nerve damage to the vagina weaken, and prone to vaginal infections, leading to sexual intercourse pain. If the active treatment, their sexual dysfunction can also be improved quality of life will be improved.
