Abstract

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sexual performance. ED is one of the most common and neglected complications of diabetes. Almost 35-75% of diabetic men around the world suffer from ED. Although the exact mechanism by which diabetes causes ED is not well understood. However, several studies suggested it may be related to damage to the nerve and vessels that supply the penis.
