Abstract

Aim: The goal of this study was to determine how frequent erectile dysfunction is in diabetic people and what factors contribute to this condition. Methods:  In this study, type-2 diabetes patients were selected among outpatients who visited Diabetes Clinics regularly. For the first selection of patients, it was essential to have had a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for at least six months but no more than 10 years. 1,080 male diabetic patients (with or without active ED symptoms) who visited the institute's Medicine or Psychiatry Outpatient Departments were included in the study throughout the period under consideration. The individuals' body mass index (BMI), blood sugar levels, and lipid profile were all measured. Erectile dysfunction became more common as people became older. ED was shown to be associated with elevated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), as well as hypertension, atherogenic dyslipidemia (low HDL-cholesterol and high triglycerides), metabolic syndrome, and depression in the study population. Male erectile dysfunction (ED) has been demonstrated to be prevented by physical activity, with men who exercised more being 10 percent less likely to develop ED than those who did not.  Results: Erectile dysfunction was shown to be prevalent in 32.21 percent of men. Patients with erectile dysfunction had a substantially higher mean age (58.4010.96 years) than those who did not have erectile dysfunction (51.0011.16 years) (p0.001). Conclusion: In conclusion, glycemic control and other metabolic variables were linked to ED risk in people with type 2 diabetes, having a greater degree of physical activity was protective.
