ED and Diabetes: What’s the Connection?
Men with diabetes are up to 3 times more likely to experience erectile dysfunction (ED). The link is strong, and often overlooked. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes can damage blood vessels and nerves, directly affecting your ability to maintain an erection.
How Diabetes Causes ED
- Reduces blood flow to the penis
- Damages nerves that control erections
- Disrupts hormonal balance
Managing Both Conditions
Keeping your blood sugar in check, exercising regularly, and taking your diabetes medications are essential. For ED, there are oral medications that work well—even for diabetics.
