Prediabetes Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

Erectile Dysfunction

One of the complications of prediabetes is autonomic neuropathy, which would cause impotence in male patients. This condition leads to permanent damages to arteries and nerves in the genital area. As a result, it interferes and decreases the blood flow needed for a normal erection. Another explanation is the loss of fluids due to frequent urination. Without fluids, blood cannot transport needed energy to the genital parts, thus affecting your sexual functions. [5]
