The prevalence and risk factors of sexual dysfunction among diabetic and non diabetic female patient in HUSM penyelidik.
Abstract
Objective To determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction among diabetes and
non diabetes women, compare the sexual dysfunction domain in the two group and also to
determine the risk factors of female sexual dysfunction in both diabetic and non diabetic
group
Research Design and Methods Data were collected from 178 diabetic women and 175 non
diabetic women using Malays Version of Female Sexual Function Index. The socio
demographic characteristic, marital profile, medical illness and husband health status of the
participants were recorded. Glyceamic control was recorded based on HbA 1 c.
Results The prevalence of sexual dysfunction among diabetic women was 26.4 % and
among non diabetic women was 20.0 %. Arousal disorder was reported in 28.7% of diabetic
women and only 17.1 % of non diabetic women have the same problems. (p value 0.040).
Sexual satisfactions disorder found in diabetic female and non diabetic female were 15.2%
and 8.0% respectively (p value 0.042). Age more than 40 years, unhappy marriages,
duration of marriage more than 20 years, lower HDL level, married to husband with
hypertension and duration of diabetes more than 1 0 years were the significant associated
factors for sexual dysfunction among diabetic women. Among non diabetic women, unhappy
marriage, less sexual intercourse ( < 2 time per week) and presence of hypertension were
the significant associated factors of sexual dysfunction.
Conclusion The prevalence of sexual dysfunction was not significantly different between
diabetic and non diabetic women. Diabetic women significantly reported more sexual
arousal and satisfaction problems compared with non diabetic women. The duration of
diabetic was inversely correlated with women sexual function. Unhappy marriages have
negative effect on sexual function in both diabetic and non diabetic women.
