Impotence and diabetes mellitus. 1977

J F Jimenez, and J Conejero, and G L Balcells, and S Balcells

Impotence is a rather frequent symptom in the diabetic patient. The aetiology of this problem is not clear. Urodynamic and hormonal examinations have been performed in a group of 10 diabetics with impotence in order to evaluate its neurogenic and endocrine factor. The determination of the parameters that effect micturition are dependent on the erector nerve, which at the same time participates in erection, demonstrating the existence of a neuropathy of the erector nerve and shows if it is responsible for the impotence. The hormonal examinations were all normal. The different urodynamic alterations which have been found are tabulated and the importance of a simple determination of voiding time, as a proof in the screening of these patients, is emphasized.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007172 Erectile Dysfunction The inability in the male to have a PENILE ERECTION due to psychological or organ dysfunction. Impotence,Male Impotence,Male Sexual Impotence,Dysfunction, Erectile,Impotence, Male,Impotence, Male Sexual,Sexual Impotence, Male
D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity. ICSH (Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone),Interstitial Cell-Stimulating Hormone,LH (Luteinizing Hormone),Lutropin,Luteoziman,Luteozyman,Hormone, Interstitial Cell-Stimulating,Hormone, Luteinizing,Interstitial Cell Stimulating Hormone

D012018 Reflex An involuntary movement or exercise of function in a part, excited in response to a stimulus applied to the periphery and transmitted to the brain or spinal cord.
D001743 Urinary Bladder A musculomembranous sac along the URINARY TRACT. URINE flows from the KIDNEYS into the bladder via the ureters (URETER), and is held there until URINATION.

D003920 Diabetes Mellitus A heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by HYPERGLYCEMIA and GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE.
D005640 Follicle Stimulating Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates GAMETOGENESIS and the supporting cells such as the ovarian GRANULOSA CELLS, the testicular SERTOLI CELLS, and LEYDIG CELLS. FSH consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH, and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity. FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone),Follicle-Stimulating Hormone,Follitropin

D000328 Adult A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available. Adults
