Journal Title: Iranian journal of diabetes and obesity (IJDO) - Year 2023, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: Recently, the association between sexual dysfunction (SD) and diabetes has been proven in various studies. The study aimed to determine the frequency of SD and identify risk factors related to SD in men with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted on 114 men with T2DM who had referred to the Yazd Diabetes Center from 2019-2020. All of them filled out a standard questionnaire with a specified validity and reliability. The analysis was performed using ANOVA and Chi-square by SPSS, version 22 software. Results: The mean age of participants was 52.48 (±5.33). The SD frequency was 73.7%. The mean SD score was 17.89 (±12). There was a significant relationship between the total SD and neuropathy (P: 0.0001), retinopathy (P: 0.0001), nephropathy (P: 0.023), type of treatment (P: 0.0001), age (P: 0.0001) and addiction (P: 0.031). There was no significant relationship between the total SD score and hyperlipidemia (P: 0.371), hypertension (P: 0.683), Hb1Ac (P: 0.816), duration of diabetes (P: 0.101) and smoking (P: 0.29). Conclusion: Due to the high frequency of sexual dysfunction in men with T2DM, it is recommended that SD be considered as an important complication in these patients so that by identifying indicators related to this complication in patients with diabetes, sexual health clinics take the necessary measures to solve sexual problems in these patients.
