As epidemiologic evidence suggests diabetic men have a slightly lower prostate cancer risk than non-diabetic men.

A new study sheds additional light on how erectile dysfunction (ED) interacts with diabetes. The study is another step in uncovering the link between the two disorders, and may lead to improved efficacy in erectile dysfunction treatments.

Having type 2 diabetes may have one benefit, in that men with long-term diabetes may have a reduced risk of prostate cancer, according to the results of a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

Researchers report that, BPH, or benign prostate hyperplasia, is a common condition in older men, but the risk of developing the condition seems to be increased by obesity and high blood sugar levels,.

Regardless of the reason for taking them, painkillers classified as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) apparently increase the likelihood that middle-aged and elderly men will develop erection difficulties, according to a new report.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist treatment for prostate cancer appears to increase the chances of diabetes development, according to Boston-based researchers.

Erectile dysfunction is an early sign of cardiovascular troubles down the road, such as a stroke or heart attack.

A history of type 2 diabetes is not associated with more aggressive prostate cancer, but it does predict worse long-term survival from the disease.

“We think that erectile dysfunction represents the ‘tip of the iceberg’ of a systemic vascular disorder; thus potentially preceding severe cardiovascular events and should be part of any cardiovascular risk assessment.”

New study suggests an oversupply of a simple blood sugar could be a major cause of erectile dysfunction in diabetic men.
