Diabetes is a kind of polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia and weight reduction in so-called "more than three a little" symptoms of the disease known as secretion, while the ED is erectile dysfunction in men, but the two closely related diseases, diabetes can cause ED , while the ED often for diabetes, "alarm." ED incidence of diabetes up to 40% -60%, compared with a high incidence of non-diabetic persons. By 3-5 times. Modern medical science has found that diabetes is caused by a number of ways through the following ED: Neuropathy in diabetic patients where the blood sugar is too high, will cause some of its nerve fibers of carbohydrate (for example, polyols, etc.) deposition, then the nerve fiber degeneration, swelling, but also caused some nerve endings to reduce the release of neurotransmitters (such as vascular active intestinal polypeptide, acetylcholine, etc.), but they have to promote the role of penile erection. When the control penile erection nerve involvement, the erectile function will be brought to its knees. Vascular lesions within the blood sugar too much sugar will definitely lead to increase in blood vessel walls, so lead to calcification of blood vessel walls and vascular wall degeneration, eventually leading to lumen narrowing and narrow, so that is bound to affect blood flow within blood vessels. When the supply of the penis significantly reduced blood flow, penile erection is not any good way to complete the task. Endocrine abnormalities in patients with diabetes, the body metabolism due to loss of control, is responsible for sexual function and endocrine function under the jurisdiction will be subject to interference and occurrence of disorders, loss of control, affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary and testicular function, might lead to sharp drop in hormone production, erectile dysfunction lose driving force. Recently, ED caused by diabetes, there has been a new understanding. It turned out that medical scientists found that an erection must be the release of neurotransmitters from nerve endings play a role, so that within the corpus cavernosum smooth muscle relaxation, in order for penile erection sufficient congestion. Among the many neurotransmitters in, a medium known as a nitric oxide role in promoting the erection of the penis is very large, if the lack of nitric oxide, ED will be followed. Little do they know precisely diabetes will be weakened and interfere with the role of nitric oxide. First of all, diabetes, high blood sugar status, you can directly affect the smooth muscle within the corpus cavernosum, making these muscles relax on the role of nitric oxide simply will not be ignored. Second, the diabetic abnormal glucose metabolism, will make the body produce a number of free radicals (such as peroxide ions), also have a lot of advanced glycation end products, these things will make the role of nitric oxide has been weakened or lost . Furthermore, high blood sugar condition, poor glucose metabolism increases the produce sorbitol and aldose reductase and other substances, which will affect the production of nitric oxide. In short, diabetes, interference and sabotage of nitric oxide to promote the mechanism of penile erection, of course, ED has to happen. Obviously, with diabetes have to think will happen ED. On the contrary, in the event ED, should be back to check to see if there is diabetes, and ignore the treatment of diabetes, alone to deal with ED is often of no avail.
