AB  - OBJECTIVE: Sexual dysfunction among women with diabetes is a common but neglected 
      health issue worldwide. The objective of the present study was to investigate the 
      prevalence of sexual dysfunction and its associated factors among women with type 
      2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional 
      comparative study comprises 150 women with diabetes and 100 healthy women without 
      diabetes who visited the endocrinology outpatient department of Mymensingh 
      Medical College Hospital (MMCH). The data were collected from July to December 
      2019. Sexual dysfunction was assessed by the 19-item Female Sexual Function Index 
      (FSFI). Informed consent was obtained before participation. Collected data were 
      analysed by SPSS 26. RESULTS: More women with diabetes than control subjects 
      reported sexual dysfunction (79% vs. 72%; p = 0.864). The global FSFI score was 
      lower among the diabetes patients than among the healthy controls (20.8 +/- 7.2 vs. 
      23.7 +/- 4.8; p < 0.001). Patients with T2DM scored significantly lower in the 
      domains of desire (p = 0.04), lubrication (p = 0.01), orgasm (p = 0.01), and 
      satisfaction (p < 0.001), but not the domain of arousal (p = 0.09). A prolonged 
      duration of diabetes was the primary contributor to orgasm problems (adjusted 
      odds ratio, aOR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1-1.7) and painful intercourse (aOR 1.2, 95% CI 
      1.1- 1.5). CONCLUSION: Sexual problems are frequent in women with diabetes. 
      Inclusion of sexual health in comprehensive diabetes management is crucial to 
      address this problem as well as to improve the quality of life of female diabetes 
      patients.
