The American Psychiatric Association defines sexual dysfunction as a heterogeneous group of disorders that are typically characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in a person's ability to respond sexually or to experience sexual pleasure. 1 Sexual problems are common complications of individuals with diabetes in both men and women. Unfortunately, sexual health is an often neglected aspect in the management of diabetes mellitus. [2][3][4] Most studies on sexual dysfunction involves men and erectile dysfunction which affects 60 to 86.1% of men with diabetes mellitus. 5 In contrast, sexual dysfunction among women mostly includes problems in sexual desire, sexual satisfaction, orgasmic, lubrication and arousal disorder. [2][3][4] Documented rates of sexual dysfunction among women with type 2 diabetes ranges from 25% to 88%. 2,4,[6][7][8][9] Though studies on sexual dysfunction are gradually increasing, there are currently no data that shows the prevalence of sexual dysfunction and the risk factors associated with it among Filipino women with diabetes mellitus. OBjECTIVESThe objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence and characterize the sexual dysfunction among premenopausal Filipino women with type 2 diabetes mellitus seen at the outpatient department of Makati Medical Center. This study also aims to determine whether age, history of hypertension, smoking habit, history of alcohol intake, body mass index, waist circumference, certain metabolic factors such as FBS, HbA 1c, creatinine, lipid profile, albuminuria or proteinuria and whether the presence of microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus such as diabetic neuropathy, retinopathy and nephropathy are associated with sexual dysfunction among premenopausal Filipino women with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
