Erectile dysfunction might indicate prediabetes
An American study suggests that difficulty achieving an erection in men under 40 might be a warning of a prediabetic state or type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes, a risk factor for erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction is relatively common in men over the age of 50. But they can also appear before, and would then constitute, according to a recent American study, a alert on another health problem: a blood sugar level too high a condition that can lead to type 2 diabetes. One of the main complications of diabetes is the alteration of the circulatory system essential in the occurrence of an erection.
Difficult erection? Maybe a sugar problem…
In the light of this study of nearly two million patients, those who presented with erectile dysfunction had 34% more likely to develop prediabetes or type 2 diabetes than patients without erectile dysfunction. Moreover, 75% of patients with erection problems actually developed prediabetes or type 2 diabetes within one year of being diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.
These results suggest that erectile dysfunction might be a early indicator of sugar metabolism disorder in young men and justify screening – particularly when other risk factors are present.
