Can diabetics with hypogonadism still be treated with metabolic corrective surgery?

That’s right, diabetes itself is not scary, what is scary is the complications. Among the many complications in diabetic patients, we hear the most such as diabetic nephropathy, podiatry, eye disease and other common, to other problems but can not think of, such as diabetic hypogonadism. Hypogonadism is one of the major complications of diabetes, and the mechanism of occurrence is mainly due to such metabolic disorders and abnormalities as high blood glucose and even blood pressure and blood lipids, which can lead to neurological and vascular lesions. Especially under the influence of high blood sugar, peripheral nerves experience sensory impairment and reduced excitation, causing erectile dysfunction. Nowadays, the prevalence of diabetes is increasing, and the number of patients and families experiencing this type of problem is certainly increasing. Everyone currently has a certain understanding of the treatment of diabetes, such as knowing the metabolic corrective surgical treatment of diabetes. So, for patients with sexual dysfunction, can they be relieved by metabolic correction surgery? This mainly depends on the patient’s physical condition. Here we are divided into two cases: the first, can not do surgery. Because surgery has more strict indications and contraindications, it is not something you can do if you want to do it. If you don’t meet the conditions, the surgery can’t be done, and there is no way to talk about curing the complications. The second one, how much it helps to relieve sexual dysfunction if you can do the surgery. I can tell you that the mechanism that affects sexual function is similar to diabetic eye disease, kidney disease, and foot disease pointed out that there are microvessels and nerves. Some studies have reported that after surgery, patients with eye disease, kidney disease, podiatry is a great degree of relief, then for sexual function although there is no more influential research, but the reason is the same. However, it also depends on the extent of the lesion, if it is serious, the effect may not be so great, the surgery can only make the blood sugar benefit, can effectively avoid complications continue to aggravate the possibility. Overall, no matter how severe the disease is, if the patient meets the indications for surgery after the preoperative examination, there are still many benefits of surgical treatment over conventional medical treatment in the long run. Especially for the first diagnosis and young overweight or obese type 2 diabetic patients, for the sake of themselves and their families, if they are eligible for surgery, it is recommended that they undergo preoperative examination and evaluation as early as possible, so that early surgery can benefit them early.
