Sexual Dysfunction in Women Treated for Type 1 Diabetes and the Impact of Coexisting Thyroid Disease

Original language description

Introduction: More sexual problems are reported among people treated for diabetes; however, this situation is less explored in women than in men. Aim: To analyze the presence and causal links of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among Czech women treated for type 1 diabetes. Methods: 40 women completed a national version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Female Sexual Distress Scale-revised (FSDS-R), and Beck&apos;s Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II). A metabolic and endocrine analysis was done using blood samples. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS v.24 and the R environment. Main Outcome Measures: Patient details (personal information, diabetes-related data, and sex history), sexual performance (the FSFI and FSDS-R scores), and level of depression (the BDI-II score) were measured. Results: FSD was present in 58% of the participants (based on the FSFI score), and 38% women declared significant sexual distress (according to their FSDS-R score). Even though only 4 women fulfilled the criteria for depression, we observed a strong association between BDI-II and FSFI (for total FSFI score P = .012, ρ = -0.394) resp. FSDS-R scores (P &lt; .001, ρ = 0.552). Although we were not able to establish a clear direct connection between FSD and metabolic control, BDI-II scores were closely correlated with glycosylated hemoglobin (P = .009, ρ = 0.407). The duration of diabetes (based on FSDS-R: P = .046) but neither age nor the presence of chronic diabetic microvascular complications was associated with a higher FSD occurrence. We also observed an association between FSD and the presence of autoimmune hypothyroidism, even when successfully treated (FSDS-R: P = .009; FSFI: P = .067). Conclusion: FSD is more common in women with type 1 diabetes than in healthy women, and coexisting thyroid autoimmune disease seems to exacerbate FSD. Women suffering from type 1 diabetes, and particularly those with additional endocrinopathies, should be actively screened for FSD. Stechova K, Mastikova L, Urbaniec K, et al.
