Diabetes and Urology

Diabetes and urologic diseases are very common health problems that markedly increase in prevalence and incidence with advancing age. Diabetes is associated with an earlier onset and increased severity of urologic diseases, resulting in costly and debilitating urologic complications. Urologic complications, including bladder dysfunction, sexual and erectile dysfunction, as well as urinary tract infections, have a profound effect on the quality of life of men and women with diabetes. Over 50% of men and women with diabetes have bladder dysfunction. Diabetes has been identified as an important independent risk factor for incontinence in several large observational studies. Current understanding of bladder dysfunction reflects a progressive condition encompassing a broad spectrum of lower urinary tract symptoms including urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and incontinence.
