Testosterone therapy for sexual dysfunction in men with Type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta ‐analysis of randomized controlled trials

ConclusionTestosterone therapy may moderately improve sexual desire and erectile function in men with Type 2 diabetes; however, available data are limited, and the long‐term risks of testosterone therapy are not known in this specific patient group. We conclude that testosterone therapy is a potential treatment for men with Type 2 diabetes non‐responsive to phosphodiesterase‐5 inhibitors. Testosterone therapy could be considered for men with Type 2 diabetes when potential risks and benefits of therapy are carefully considered and other therapeutic options are unsuitable.This article is protected by copyright.
