“…But in general the studies are few in number and limited group of researchers have worked consistently in these areas. The major areas of research by psychiatrists have been cancer (for details see review),[47] pain,[187] gynecological issues,[188–195] HIV,[196–198] dermatological disorders,[199200] diabetes mellitus[201202] and chest pain. [203] Occasional studies have evaluated psychiatric morbidity and other aspects in diseases like Cushing disease,[204205] Acromegaly[206] and Delirium.…”

Over the years Consultation-Liaison (C-L) psychiatry has contributed significantly to the growth of the psychiatry and has brought psychiatry very close to the advances in the medicine. It has also led to changes in the medical education and in the providing comprehensive management to the physically ill. In India, although the General Hospital Psychiatric units were established in 1930s, C-L Psychiatry has never been the main focus of training and research. Hence there is an urgent need to improve C-L Psychiatry services and training to provide best and optimal care to the patients and provide best education to the trainees.

“…The psychological burden of sexual health problems has received less attention despite the profound negative impact on the quality of life of men with diabetes. The psychological dimensions on the sexual impact of diabetes are multi‐faceted and are associated with higher levels of diabetes specific health distress, poorer overall quality of life and worse psychological adaptation to diabetes, leading to worse metabolic control . Furthermore, men with diabetes are more likely to consider their sexual dysfunction to be severe and permanent compared to men without diabetes …”

The objective of this study was to explore the self‐reported medical and psychological factors associated with sexual health for men with diabetes. An online survey was distributed via social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn and remained open for four weeks. The survey contained 45 items which included free‐text response questions so that participants could provide further detail to their responses if desired. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS.24, with content and thematic analyses conducted on free‐text responses. One hundred participants completed the survey, aged 20–73 years (mean age 45.4 years) with a diabetes duration of 1–62 years (mean 23.07 years); 90% had type 1 diabetes. Forty‐nine percent reported diabetes had led to a loss of self‐esteem, 62% said it had a negative effect on relationships with a partner, 41% felt less attractive, and 46% reported it had led to loneliness. Free‐text responses reflected depth of feeling and the considerable negative psychosocial impact of diabetes and associated sexual health issues. Erectile dysfunction was common (66%); however, over one‐third of those participants had not sought help (42%). Oral medication removed spontaneity for half of the participants (n=58) who had taken it (n=29). Sexual health issues continue to pose challenges for men with diabetes, both medically and psychologically. The psychosocial aspects of diabetes and sexuality, including feeling unattractive both physically and emotionally, were widely reported by participants, demonstrating the damaging and distressing personal consequences.

PurposeDiabetes mellitus-induced erectile dysfunction (ED) in men is a worldwide problem. Histopathological changes in diabetic corpora cavernosa (CC) tissue are not fully understood due to limited studies on human tissues. The aim of this study was to compare histopathological changes between CC of diabetic and nondiabetic patients with ED. Patients and methods Forty CC biopsies were taken from 16 diabetic and 24 nondiabetic men during penile implant insertion. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections from each specimen were stained with conventional hematoxylin and eosin stains for general assessment of histopathological changes, with Masson trichrome for assessment of smooth muscle (SM) fibers and collagen, and with Verhoeff's elastic van Gieson stain for assessment of elastic fibers (EF). SM fibers were assessed for cell thickness/bundle, shape, and percentage from trabecular tissue thickness. EF were assessed for shape and percentage from trabecular tissue. Arteries and venous sinuses were assessed for presence of subendothelial fibrosis. The main outcome measures were thickness and shape of trabecular SM bundles, percentage of trabecular EF and shape, and presence of subendothelial fibrosis. ResultsNo difference in SM thickness was detected; however, SM in the diabetic group showed higher degree of shape abnormality in the form of frayed fibers (P = 0.007) and more intramuscular fibrosis (P = 0.001). The percentage of collagen fibers was significantly higher in diabetic patients (P = 0.002). The percentage of EF in trabecular tissue ranged from 10 to 60% and was significantly reduced in diabetic patients (P = 0.015). Subendothelial fibrosis within arteries and sinuses was higher in the diabetic group (P = 0.059 and 0.002, respectively). ConclusionThe major structural changes within CC tissue in diabetic patients were fraying and fibrosis in SM, increased trabecular collagen fibers, and reduction of EF. These changes may play a role in prevention of SM relaxation and interference with proper sinus filling, and therefore ED.
