ABSTRACT

Background: diabetes Mellitus is the most frequent endocrine disorder in the world. The chronic complications of this disease such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy originated from vascular effects although there are other less evident complications as the ones that occur at the sexual function level.
Objective: to identify if there is a higher frequency of sexual dysfunction in patients who suffer from Type 2 diabetes mellitus as compared with non diabetic patients.
Methods: we performed a case study and a control to the "Marina Nacional" Family Medicine Unit in Mexico City. We selected 32 patients suffering from Type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 35 - 50 years who had history of more than two years´ evolution of the disease. The control group was composed of 32 patients of the same age that presented to the same medical unit complaining of other health problems different from chronic diseases. Both groups were applied the same standardized self-assessment questionnaire Arizona Sexual Experience Scale (ASEX). Later, the degree of metabolic control and the time of evolution of the disease with sexual dysfunction were correlated.
Results: it was identified that the presence of sexual dysfunction in patients suffering from diabetes mellitus was higher than in non diabetic patients. We found no evidence of the association between sexual dysfunction and the time of evolution of diabetes or between sexual dysfunction and metabolic control.
Conclusions: female sexual dysfunction was more frequent in diabetic women.
