“…This prevalence of retrograde ejaculation seems similar to that reported by other investigators [15]. The cause of the diabetic retrograde ejaculation is usually related to diabetic autonomic neuropathy which may cause dysfunction of bladder internal sphincter leading to retrograde ejaculation, and inhibition of seminal emission [37].…”

Objectives: To document the prevalence of self-reported sexual dysfunctions (SDs) in diabetic type 2 (DM2) men attending the andrology clinic in the Alexandria University hospital. Methods: A retrospective analysis of clinical case records of 276 consecutive DM2 and 100 consecutive non-diabetic (controls) men who reported SDs directly to the andrology clinic was done. Results: The majority of the patients and controls had light manual occupation, low education level and no history of smoking. No patient reported history of alcohol intake. Erectile dysfunction (ED) was frequent in the DM2 patients and the only complaint in 54.7%. The remaining patients had more than one (compound) complaint. ED (42.7%), premature ejaculation (22.1%) and low libido (11.7%) were the most frequent SDs in these compound complaints. They often joined together in the patients. Less frequently reported SDs were anejaculation (7.2%), penile curvature (4.4%), small-sized penis (2.5%) and penile plaques (0.7%). Penile pain and delayed and painful ejaculations were the rarest reported SDs. Conclusion: DM2 men consulting the andrology clinic may present with several different sexual complaints although ED is the most frequent among these. All diabetic men, therefore, should be asked carefully about the probable existence of any variety of SDs during their medical evaluation.

“…Ret rograde ejaculation is one complication of diabetes [2,25], but is probably the result of an incompetent internal vesicle sphincter, rather than an alteration in vas deferens con tractility. However, our findings suggest that the contractile function of other androgendependent sex-accessory organs may also be altered by diabetes mellitus.…”

Comparison of the Effects of Castration and Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes mellitus on Contractile Responses of the Rat Vas deferens

et al. 1989

Contractile responses of androgen-sensitive smooth muscles such as the vas deferens and seminal vesicles are highly dependent upon the endocrine status of the animal. Although diabetes mellitus produces disturbances in reproductive function, including decreased serum androgen levels, the effects of diabetes on the contractile function of androgen-dependent urogenital smooth muscles have not been conclusively established. The present study compared the effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes with those of castration on the contractile responses of rat vasa deferentia. Diabetes and castration produced significant decreases in serum testosterone levels, accompanied by significant decreases in vas deferens weights. Contractile responses of vasa deferentia from diabetic rats to carbachol, ATP, and phenylephrine were significantly increased, and responses to nerve stimulation were decreased. Similar results were obtained with vasa deferentia from castrated rats. Castration produced significant increases in contractile responses of vasa deferentia to carbachol and phenylephrine and decreased responses to nerve stimulation. The data suggest that both castration and diabetes produce a denervation-like supersensitivity which is specific for receptor-mediated processes.

“…Sexual dysfunction is a common complication of diabetes mellitus in men [5,6,18,19,201. A great number of male diabetic patients have disturbances in their sexual function and 36% to 59% of them are impotent [4,9,241.…”

A double blind study was camed out with placebo and dopaminergic agents in 100 patients with male diabetic sexual impotence. In basal conditions, mean serum FSH, LH, PRL, and T levels did not significantly differ from those found in a normal control group. No significant variations with the exception of PRL reduction were observed after use of the dopaminergic agents. Sexual activity was improved in 50% of cases after 3-4 dihidroxifenilalanine and 10% of those of the phcebo group. In patients with bromocriptine, 20% improved their sexual function without changes in those receiving placebo.
