To observe the association of Impotence in patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus presenting with peripheral neuropathy.
Methodology:
The Department of Medicine at Benazir Bhutto Hospital in Rawalpindi conducted this cross-sectional study between May 2023 and June 2024. Upon obtaining written informed consent, all male participants with type 2 diabetes who were diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy and aged between 35 and 65 were included in the study. To diagnose and gauge the severity of erectile dysfunction, the local language version of the IIEF-5 questionnaire—Urdu—was utilized. The data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.
Results:
A total of 112 males with type 2 diabetes were recruited in this study. The mean age was 59.25±5.12 years, the mean diabetes duration of 9.9±4.81 years, and the mean HbA1c was found 9.01±2.10% respectively. The mean IIEF-5 Score was 12.41±5.99 and in regard to the severity of Impotence among study participants, 28(19%) fell in severe erectile dysfunction, 21(18%) in moderate erectile dysfunction, and 34(30.7%) in moderate to mild erectile dysfunction. Impotence status showed a statistically significant association with an increase duration of diabetes having p-value of <0.05, whereas age and HbA1c revealed a statistically insignificant association.
Conclusion:
When type 2 diabetic individuals with peripheral neuropathy manifest, Impotencies common among them. To confirm the study's conclusions, further extensive, community-based research will be needed.
