Is it Really True that Impotence in Diabetic Patients is Actually Caused by Diabetes?

Abstract

Several scientific publications say that the cause of sexual
impotence in patients who have diabetes is caused by
microangiopathy caused by diabetes. In an article written
by Maiorino, et al. (2014), entitled Diabetes and sexual
dysfunction: current perspectives, they are saying that the
mechanisms involved in sexual dysfunction and diabetes
are hyperglycemia with vascular and microvascular
complications. Also, there are other factors that is usually
together with diabetes that are risk factor for sexual
dysfunction such as hypertension, obesity, overweight,
cigarette smoking, dyslipidemia, etc .
If we analyze more deeply, what are the energy alterations
that is leading to diabetes formation and what is the energy
that govern the sexuality and reproduction, according to
Chinese medicine, we will realize that both come from the
same root that is Kidney energy deficiency. In the article
written by the author (2019) entitled Why Are Diabetic
Patients Still Having Hyperglycemia Despite Diet Regulation,
Antiglycemic Medication and Insulin? she is demonstrating
that according to traditional Chinese medicine, diabetes
come from Yin deficiency and Heat retention .
