Can High Blood Sugar Cause Impotence?

Question:

Can high blood sugar cause impotence? If not, what are the other causes for this problem? Thanks.

Answer:

Blood sugar can affect creating vascular damage, so it can be named among other reasons for ED, like smoking, the use of certain drugs and hormonal imbalances. Finally, according to recent research, the high correlation between diabetes and sexual deficits could also be due to hypogonadism, a dysfunction that causes low levels of testosterone in the blood, with a decrease in sexual desire and the ability to get an erection. I recommend a visit with a specialist to investigate the matter.
