Diabetes mellitus with erectile dysfunction (DMED) is one of the most common causes of disability in diabetic population, and its pathogenesis is related to a variety of factors. Because its pathogenesis is complex and the existing treatment methods have limitations, DMED is difficult to treat in clinical. Recently, some studies have shown that α-lipoic acid (ALA) is associated with DMED, but there is no systematic review and meta-analysis on the relationship between ALA and DMED. ⋯ INPLASY202070130.

A Survey Exploring the Relationship Between Cannabis Use Characteristics and Sexual Function in Men.
Cannabis is the most commonly used drug in the United States; however, the effects of cannabis use on male sexual function are poorly understood. ⋯ We report an association between the increased frequency of cannabis use and increased male sexual function. However, while the increased frequency of use was statistically significant with regard to the IIEF scores, the clinical significance of this is likely low, and selection bias may limit the generalizability of these findings. The method of consumption and cannabis chemovar were not associated with sexual function. Bhambhvani HP, Kasman AM, Wilson-King G, et al.

The treatment rate of erectile dysfunction (ED) in younger men with Type 2 Diabetes is up to 4 times higher than the equivalent non-diabetes population.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common in older age and in diabetes mellitus (DM). Phosphodiesterase type 5-inhibitors (PDE5-is) are the first-line for ED. We investigated how the type of diabetes and age of males affect the PDE5-i use in the primary care setting. ⋯ There is a wide variation in the use of PDE5-is. With only 14% variance capture, other factors including wide variation in patient awareness, prescribing rules of local health providers, and recognition of the importance of male sexual health by GP prescribers might have a significant impact.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is common and impacts psychosocial wellbeing negatively. Many do not seek medical attention and several barriers for healthcare seeking with ED exist. Little is known about the association between socioeconomic characteristics of the patient and barriers for healthcare-seeking for men bothered by ED. The objectives of the study were 1) to estimate the proportion of men bothered by ED, who do not contact the GP, 2) to analyse the frequencies of selected barriers for healthcare seeking and 3) to analyse associations between socioeconomic factors and barriers for contacting the GP. ⋯ Nearly two third of the respondents with bothersome ED had not contacted their GP. More than half of those reported barriers towards GP contact with embarrassment as the most frequent barrier. In general, respondents in the older age groups and with high educational level were less likely to report barriers.

Erectile dysfunction is a common disease. It affects the quality of life of both husband and wife and its prevalence is higher in patients with overt cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular risk factors. In recent years, multiple studies confirm that nebivolol exerts protective effects on erectile function against the disruptive effects of cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, but its quality and efficacy have not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out a systematic review and meta-analysis to fully evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebivolol on erectile function in the cases with coronary artery bypass grafting. ⋯ INPLASY202060110.
