ABSTRACT
Background:
Diabetic microangiopathy is one of the main causes of erectile dysfunction.Aim:
To study the prevalence of erectile dysfunction among diabetic patients. Material andMethods:
The "international index of erectile function" survey was applied to 120 diabetic men aged 21 to 50years. Demographic data, evolution time of diabetes, a glycosilated hemoglobin measured in the last three months, weight, height and treatment received were also recorded.Results:
Fifty five percent of patients had erectile dysfunction. Patients with an inadequate metabolic control had a significantly higher risk of having this condition (odds ratio 5.5; 95% confidence intervals 2.3-81).Conclusions:
Erectile dysfunction is common among diabetic patients and closely associated with an inadequate metabolic control.
