Features and risk factors of female sexual dysfunction in type 2 diabetic patients / 中国糖尿病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the features of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in type 2 diabetic patients (T2DM)and to analyze its risk factors. Methods According to FSFI indexes in the sexual function questionnaire,227 female T2DM patients were divided into DM group without FSD [n=144,FSFI≥25] and DM+FSD group[n=83,FSFI0.05). The score of sexual desire[(2.54±0.58) vs (3.76±0.90) vs (4.59±1.22) score],sexual arousal[(2.30±0.42) vs (3.57±0.85) vs (4.81±1.00) score],vaginal lubricate[(3.35±0.29) vs (4.46±1.32) vs (5.14±0.83) score],orgasm[(2.75±0.68) vs (3.40±1.86) vs (4.02±1.25)score] and total score [(17.94±4.15) vs (24.71±6.33) vs (28.13±5.78) score] were lower in DM+FSD group and DM group than those in NC group. The score of sexual satisfaction[(3.45±1.68) vs (4.94±0.93),(4.99±0.86)score] and pain[(3.55±0.50) vs (4.58±0.47),(4.58±0.62)score] were lower in DM+FSD group than those in DM group and NC group(P0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that age,BMI and HbA1c were risk factors for FSD in T2DM patients (P=0.029,0.001,0.022,respectively). Conclusion The occurrence of FSD is common in female type 2 diabetic patients. BMI and HbA1c are the main risk factors for FSD.
