Abstract
Sexual dysfunction is considered as one of the most common complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pathological changes in organs of the reproductive system in men suffering from diabetes mellitus are characterized by chronic progressive nature, and these changes adversely affect the course of diabetes. The objective of the study — to examine the state of sexual function in men suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods. The study involved 205 men with type 2 diabetes mellitus with complaints about violations of erectile function (average age 48.0 ± 4.6 years). Sexual function disorders were assessed according to the data of questioning patients by international index of erectile function and male sexual formula quantification scale. Results. The average index of erectile function was 17.23 ± 2.08 points vs 26.75 ± 0.79 in the control group (p < 0.01). Index of sexual intercourse satisfaction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus was reduced (9.34 ± 0.93) compared with control one (16.18 ± 0.68; p < 0.01). Indicators of orgasmic sensations (6.48 ± 0.72 points) and sexual desire (9.44 ± 0.95 points) in the examined patients were lower than in the control group (9.23 ± 0.26 points (p < 0.05) and 13.93 ± 0.56 (p < 0.01) points, respectively). The highest incidence of erectile dysfunction in men with type 2 diabetes mellitus is in the age group over 40 years. The majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (62.4 %) had moderate erectile dysfunction. The level of total testosterone in men aged 41–50 years was reduced compared with the control group (3.10 ± 0.47 ng/ml and 5.63 ± 0.90 ng/ml, respectively, p < 0.01), but it was at the lower limit of age norm. In most male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, there were disorders of several components of copulative cycle: 3 components — in 55.3 % of patients and 2 components — in 18.4 % of patients.
