70 percent of impotence cases are due to physical causes. This means that there is an underlying disease or problem that causes impotence. One of the most common risk factors for people with erectile dysfunction is diabetes. Diabetes is known for causing an increase in the levels of glucose in the blood. This increased glucose can damage the nerves and blood vessels that maintain the flow of blood to the penis and is crucial for sexual arousal and erection. Some medications that are used to treat diabetes can also cause erectile dysfunction. That is why it is important that you try to follow a healthy lifestyle with a healthy diet and regular exercises to better manage the effects of diabetes. Don't change the medication or stop it without consulting your doctor.
