Prevalence of Erectile Dysfunction and Associated Factors among Diabetic Patients in a Tertiary Hospital: A Cross-sectional Study

2024Open accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

The prevalence of ED among diabetic patients is alarmingly high. This study identified significant positive associations between ED and factors such as diabetes duration, microvascular complications, insulin therapy (with or without oral agents), comorbid conditions, and the use of non-diabetes medications. Therefore, screening, treatment, and addressing key determinants of erectile dysfunction should be integrated into diabetes care.
