Abstract :
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the consistent or recurrent inability to achieve and/or maintain a penile erection that is sufficient for a satisfying sexual intercourse. Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common problem that manly affects men >40 years, one of the major risk factors for developing Erectile dysfunction is type 2 diabetes mellitus. We aim in this study to assess the prevalence and risk factors of erectile dysfunction among Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients in King Abdulaziz Hospital (NGH) in Alahsa region, Saudi Arabia. A total of 107 patients participated in the study, the data were collected using a two parts questionnaire. 76.6% of the patients were officially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the average results of the HA1C test of the respondents were 8.1 ± 1.569%, indicating elevated levels of blood sugar. At the same time, all the respondents suffered from erectile dysfunction, and many of them also had comorbid adverse health conditions, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, chronic kidney disease, or ischemic heart disease. Since male patients are usually reluctant to start discussing their erectile dysfunction with their doctors, it is important for physicians (such as urologists) to ask their patients (especially those with Type 2 diabetes mellitus) if they have this problem, so that proper management techniques could be prescribed to increase these patients’ quality of life.
Key Words: Erectile dysfunction, erectile disorder, impotence, type 2 diabetes mellitus, low libido
