Diabetes directly related to Erectile Dysfunction
April 26, 2006
The problem of erectile
dysfunction (ED) is serious in India, considering the fact that
there are a large number of diabetic patients in the country, according
to Rosie King, visiting lecturer on sexual counselling, Schools
of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and Psychiatry, University of New
South Wales, Sydney, Australia.
This is because diabetes is directly related to
ED. A greater proportion of men in India is likely to suffer from
ED [than in other countries] as India is becoming the "capital
of diabetes," she said.
Explaining the findings of a survey (carried out
by Pfizer Inc) on sexual habits and practices across 27 countries
(which did not include India), Dr. King said they had relevance
to India as there were similarities of responses on the subject.
For instance, on the importance of sexual
confidence to having a strong love relationship, there was a uniformity
of the view across the countries. Cultural differences appeared
to be disappearing.
