Dyslipidemia as an Early Harbinger of Erectile Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetics
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Sexual dysfunction is a common, underappreciated complication of diabetes.Men with diabetes tend to develop ED 10 to 15 years earlier than men without diabetes. As men with diabetes age, ED becomes even more common. Diabetes can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control erection. Hyperlipidemia may impair erectile function by affecting endothelial and smooth muscle cells of the penis.This study was undertaken to investigate the correlation between serum lipids and ED. Material and method: 150 type 2 DM patients were enrolled for this retrospective done at S P Medical College Bikaner. ED was diagnosed by using international index of ED (IIEF-5). Results: The mean duration of DM was 2.84+1.99 in patient without ED and 8.94+6.36 in patient with ED that was statistically significant (p<0.001).FBS and HbA1c were other parameter that were correlated significantly.The mean lipid profile TC, LDL, TG, HDL were 158.36+15.38 and 186.26+38.88; 97.06+16.98 and 119.33+31.94; 116.33+37.30 and 94.09+14.48; 50.18+7.05 and 44.08+8.13 respectively in patient without ED and with ED that were statistically significant(p<0.001). However mean VLDL was 21.60+4.16 and 23.00+7.17; in patient without ED and with ED that was statistically insignificant. Conclusion: ED almost always has an organic or mixed etiology. This often results in diabetic men reporting more severe ED when they present for treatment of this condition.Because men with diabetes value their erectile function highly, it is important that health care provider must encourage them to maintain good glycemic, blood pressure, and lipid control to minimize their risk of developing this complication.
