Abstract

Background: Erectile dysfunction is the most common sexual disorder in type 2 diabetes. Its pathogenesis may involve various disturbances including endothelial dysfunction and dysautonomia. The involvement of a low testosterone level is still debated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of total testosterone during erectile dysfunction in patients living with type 2 diabetes.
