In some men, the symptoms of diabetes appear on the private parts. The first symptoms of diabetes also cause damage to the blood circulation and nervous system. There can be frequent cases of fungal yeast infections in the private parts of men. All of these problems can occur due to an excessive increase in blood sugar levels. However, yeast feeds on sugar and is more likely to grow on the penis of a diabetic man.

Symptoms of itchy and dry private parts

Pain and discomfort during intimacy
Muscle loss: Consistently high blood sugar levels can cause the body to break down muscle and fat for energy.
This is more common in men with type 1 diabetes and leads to decreased strength and weakening of the muscles.
A 2016 study in the BMJ Open found that men had a higher risk of diabetes after gaining less weight than women. The research analyzed 480,813 participants. The authors found that men’s body size varied less than women’s at the time of diabetes diagnosis. The 2016 study also measured waist circumference, which has become a favored indicator of health risks.
The waist circumference of men with type 2 diabetes was 9 cm greater than that of men without the condition. BMI was also 3 points higher. Women will be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after an average increase in height of 14 cm or an increase in BMI of 5.
One way to interpret the research is that men can get diabetes more easily than women.
