Diabetes can cause nerve damage to your urinary area, causing bladder problems. Overweight and obesity also can rise bladder problems, such as urinary incontinence (UI). Managing diabetes is an important part of preventing complications that can lead to excess urination. Diabetes can cause retrograde ejaculation, in which deprived blood sugar control over a long-term period leads to neuropathy of the bladder. Retrograde ejaculation can happen in diabetic males as a consequence of diabetic autonomic neuropathy (nerve damage). If you have diabetes, you may still be able to overcome ED through a lifestyle that contains sufficient sleep, no smoking, and stress reduction.
