AB To improve diabetes care according to the St. Vincent Declaration an
interdisciplinary working group on erectile dysfunction in patients with
diabetes was installed in the Departments of Internal Medicine, Urology
and Psychiatry at the University of Graz. The screening and basic
diagnostic procedures are performed in the diabetes clinic in the
Department for Internal Medicine. To inform the patients about the
options of treatment of diabetic erectile dysfunction and to determine
prevalence data an anonymous questionnaire with a pre-stamped envelope
was sent to 133 male patients with diabetes mellitus type I (IDDM). 59
(44%) of the questionnaires were returned and could be analyzed. Mean
age and diabetes duration were representative for the male diabetes
population. The prevalence of erectile dysfunction in this group was
49%. 7% of the patients were completely impotent. None of the patients
reported the use of erection aids as a vacuum device or intracavernosal
injection of smooth muscle-relaxant drugs. The prevalence of erectile
dysfunction is high among patients with diabetes mellitus type I. Modern
management offers satisfactory success in most cases, therefore
screening for erectile dysfunction and adequate therapy should be
offered to all patients.
