This in contrary affects the erection process in men leading to erectile dysfunction which means inability to maintain or get an erection. About one-third of men having diabetes are reported to having experienced erectile dysfunction. Most often diabetes is diagnosed as a secondary diagnosis during assessment of erectile dysfunction.
Once a remedy is found for diabetes and treatment is started to regulate insulin production even the sexual problems gradually subside. In women diabetes most often accompanies vaginitis, thrush, white discharge, burning sensation, dyspareunia, and also relapsing cystitis. Women also face arousal issues and loss of response to stimulation to the clitoris. Such situations make it very difficult to lead a normal and healthy sex life.
