Abstract

Changes in environmental and behavioral factors such as a sedentary life style and obesity over the previous years have resulted in a dramatic increase in the incidence of diabetes worldwide [1]. Urological manifestations of Diabetic patients include: Diabetic Nephropathy, Renal Vascular disease, Urinary Tract Infections, Emphysematous Complications, Infertility, Erectile dysfunction, and Diabetic bladder dysfunction which we will talk about it in details in this section [2, 3].
