Abstract
Here we discuss the interactions between prostatic health and diabetes. Diabetes may be associated with changes in prostatic anatomy, physiology, clinical morbidity, and clinical outcomes. Certain glucose-lowering drugs may impact prostatic health, and some prostato-tropic medications can influence glycaemic control. One should be vigilant for symptoms and signs of prostate health in diabetes.
Keywords: benign prostatic hyperplasia, erectile dysfunction, male gonad, male reproductive health, metformin, prostatic cancer, SGLT2i.
