Tình trạng rối loạn tình dục ở phụ nữ mắc đái tháo đường typ 2

Abstract

Persistent, recurrent problems with sexual response, desire, orgasm or pain that distress a woman or strain her relationship with her partner are known medically as female sexual dysfunction. Diabetes mellitus is one of the causes of sexual dysfunction. This study aims to describe the situation of sexual dysfunction in female patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). 50 female DM2 patients, aged 30-45 years, were included. Sexual dysfunction was diagnosed as an FSFI (Female Sexual Function Index) score less than 26. The frequency of sexual dysfunction was very high (50%). Patients with and without sexual dysfunction had similar mean values for the arousal component (3.86 ± 5.25 vs. 3.63 ± 0.39, p>0.05), but the dysfunction group had significantly lower mean values for other components such as desire, orgasm, pain, and satisfaction (p<0.05). The frequency of sexual dysfunction increased as BMI increased. Patients with sexual dysfunction had poorer blood glucose and lipid profile control. In conclusion, doctors should be aware of sexual dysfunction in DM2 patients; helping patients control this dysfunction may also improve patients' blood glucose, BMI and lipid profile.
