    Main Results:

    • 47% of diabetic women reported sexual dysfunction, primarily inhibited sexual excitement, inhibited sexual desire, and dyspareunia.
    • Women with sexual dysfunction showed higher depression rates, more traditional sex-role definitions, and lower sexual relationship satisfaction.
    • No significant differences were found in metabolic control, insulin dosage, diabetes duration, or complication frequency.

    • Diabetes is associated with specific sexual dysfunctions, including inhibited sexual excitement and dyspareunia, in women.
    • Psychological factors, such as depression and relationship satisfaction, play a significant role.
    • Comprehensive diagnostic and treatment approaches should address both psychological and physiological aspects of sexual dysfunction in diabetic women.
