“…7 An underlying cause is often found after extensive evaluation in patients with ED, including conditions such as hypogonadism. [12][13][14] Owing to insufficient evidence, it is unclear whether routine hormonal blood tests, such as the determination of serum testosterone levels, should be undertaken in all patients with ED. 15,16 ED and atherosclerosis share similar risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, hypertension and obesity.…”

Background: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence and predictors in our patient population are unknown since minimal data exist for this condition in South Africa. Method: An observational, cross-sectional study was performed on 150 consecutive male patients aged ≥ 50 years, with either type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus, attending the Steve Biko Academic Hospital Diabetes Clinic. These patients were evaluated for diabetes mellitus control and medical complications, and for the presence of ED. Morning serum testosterone levels were determined. Results: Some degree of ED was reported in 95% of the patients, with 51% reporting serious dysfunction. Using multivariate logistic regression, it was determined that the significant factors associated with ED were age, body mass index, the peripheral neuropathy score and diuretic therapy. Differences in quality-of-life scores were seen in some ED subgroups. Conclusion: This study confirms the high prevalence of ED in diabetic male patients in a tertiary setting. It is suggested that universal screening should be performed for this population group. Multiple predictors of ED were identified in this study. ED negatively affected quality of life, but not in a statistically significant way.

In a large follow-up program 8.3% of the male patients stopped their antihypertensive treatment over a ®ve year period, because of side-effects on sexual function.…”

“…Presently erectile dysfunction is conceptualised as predominantly psychogenic or pre- dominantly organic. However about less than 30% patients with erectile function can be attributed to psychological factors particularly depression [9] and chronic anxiety. Interpersonal concerns can be extremely important in the genesis of erectile dysfunction ego anger, inhibition, marital disharmony, environment etc.…”
