Question:
How does diabetes cause erectile disfunction? Do the blood vessels get plugged
up? Or does the nerves get damaged? Is it possible to differentiate between
damage done by diabetes and ED problems caused by hypertension medications?
Answer:
Its nerve damage. The tiny blood vessels are destroyed. Its the same thing
that causes numbness in the hands and feet. At least that's my understanding
of it. My feet are fine, but I have stretch marks on my abdomen that one
doctor told me it symptomatic of diabetes, and of course my ED, which has
steadily gotten worse over the past 5 years.
