The willingness of Saudi men with type 2 diabetes to discuss erectile dysfunction with their physicians and the factors that influence this.

Being older and suffering more severe ED will result in being less willing to discuss ED with their doctor. Further research is needed to explore the barriers which prevent physicians from discussing ED with their patients who have diabetes.
