Doctors have long warned that type 2 diabetes has reached epidemic proportions. This disease develops almost imperceptibly, but as a result leads to serious health problems.
There are four problems associated with sex that can signal high blood sugar.
High sugar levels over a period of time can damage blood vessels, including those that supply the penis, according to Diabetes UK.
As a result, the amount of blood flowing to the genitals is limited, so the man loses some of his sensations. It is difficult for him to get aroused, both physically and psychologically.
Dangerous signs of high blood sugar that can be seen on the male genitals:
- Redness, swelling and itching around the glans
- Unpleasant odor
- White, lumpy appearance on the skin of the penis
- Soreness and discomfort during sex
