Treatable impotence in diabetic patients

Abstract

The incidence of impotence in diabetic men is reported to be almost 50 percent. The prevailing view is that such impotence is due to organic factors. To investigate the validity of this notion we compiled the cases of 34 diabetic men having difficulty in penile erection. Our results suggest that impotency in men with diabetes is psychogenic in many cases and can be treated successfully by brief sex therapy.
