Problem with erection? Here's what experts recommend you do.

Adopting a healthy way of life to avoid diabetes can help people overcome problems with erection, suggests a new study.

Being predisposed to Type 2 diabetes related to unhealthy diets and lack of training can also be endangered by the correct disfunction, research has found.

Scientists looked at the data on more than 220,000 males, 6,000 of whom had problems with erection.

Using advanced genetic analysis, the team found that there is a genetic predisposition of Type 2 diabetes associated with the correct function.

“The correct electrical function affects at least one in five men over 60 years of age, but so far has been known for his cause”, said research author Dr Anna Murray, from Exeter Medical Science University.

The study was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
