  Diabetes and female sexual dysfunction (FSD) tends to get less coverage than male sexual dysfunction but studies have found that the prevalence in women could be as much an issue for women as men.

Sexual dysfunction in women can affect sexual desire and arousal and can also lead to pain during sex.

How diabetes can affect sex for women

Sex can affect women in the following ways:

    Vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina) often caused by yeast infections

    Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder) often a result of a urinary tract infection

    Trouble with vaginal lubrication

    Difficulty with arousal of the clitoris

    Pain during sex

    Difficulty achieving orgasm

    Psychological effects

Causes of female sexual dysfunction

Vascular damage (damage to blood vessels) can affect blood supply to the vagina and clitoris which can cause problems with dryness and arousal. Neuropathy (nerve damage) can have a similar effect in that it can reduce sensitivity.

Diabetes can also lead to low oestrogen levels which can also affect lubrication of the vagina.

However, it does not affect your ability to become pregnant.

Psychological reasons can be a common cause of sexual dysfunction in women and can affect relationships.

Diabetes no doubt makes life harder and this can affect one’s sex life in a number of ways including stress, self-image and through to depression.

 Treatments for female sexual dysfunction

If the issues are related to psychological issues then you may benefit from sexual and relationship therapy.
