It also can affect all aspects of human sexuality, or the main reason for the male erectile dysfunction. However, people tend to ignore the diabetes can lead to female sexual dysfunction. Currently considered female sexual dysfunction caused by diabetes, the primary mechanism for the following several factors.
Can lead to diabetes female sexual dysfunction in a number of factors
Depression
British medical experts found: female incidence of depression is twice as many men, women with diabetes incidence rate as high as 21.9%. In addition, intermittent or persistent high blood sugar can also cause depression. Most of the fragility of women's sexuality that even with a slight depression can also lead to loss of libido. Therefore, if diabetes does not control well, it could cause or combined depression and then developed into a sexual dysfunction. Thus, in the treatment of diabetes in women's sexual dysfunction, control of blood glucose and treatment of depression should be the same time.
The risk of infection
High blood sugar makes women prone to vaginal fungal infection. Vaginitis can impede access to sexual arousal and will eventually undermine the ability to orgasm. In addition, inflammation can also cause vaginal dryness Er Shi spouse feeling unwell, and prevent the sexual experience for both sides. Damage caused by sexual intercourse vaginal dryness can be caused by repeated cystitis and recurrent bladder infections will bring sexual intercourse discomfort.
Hypoglycemia
Arousal, sexual prelude to intercourse and orgasm are the need to consume energy activities. American Diabetes experts study found, according to the duration of sexual activity, sexual response and orgasm of duplication, some need to consume 600 kcal of energy. If the start of sexual activity is normal to low blood sugar or the body does not store enough extra energy, then the tension of sexual activity may cause low blood sugar. Low blood sugar not only affects the sex life, but also to the body caused by injury, serious or even life-threatening.
Obesity and posture problems
Media campaigns to ensure that women's own image standard very confusing. Women of all ages in our society are all very concerned about weight and diet. If obesity and self-image can interfere with sexual desire and sexual feelings, then it can be said, in some cases of type 2 diabetes so that pieces of the incidence of dysfunction become high. 1 may be related to sexual dysfunction related issue is the pulmonary dysfunction. In type 2 diabetes among women with more severe degree of obesity, the worse the physical endurance to achieve orgasm needed for the state's ability to cardiovascular worse. Reduction of body weight can not only improve blood sugar and blood pressure, thereby improving insulin resistance and diabetes, women's lung function can improve.
PMS
Although premenstrual syndrome is not common for women with diabetes, but the menstrual cycle in the luteal phase (from ovulation to the start of the next menstruation) to affect blood sugar levels. Blood sugar is too high or too low will affect sexual function. Therefore, in the luteal phase requires close monitoring of glucose levels to minimize the impact on blood sugar.
High blood pressure and cardiovascular disease
We already know that there are several anti-hypertension drugs can lead to male erectile dysfunction. However, diabetic women with hypertension, a similar situation has not attracted widespread attention. Response in the clinical observation of the process of taking all medications the patient for testing. Typically, women with type 2 diabetes, apart from taking the drug beyond the treatment of diabetes need to take a large number of other drugs. In addition, clinical observation of the process should also pay attention to their situation in cardiac function. A sexual climax when the systolic blood pressure, diastolic and mean arterial pressure will increase. Therefore, the need for sexual activity due to increased blood pressure and rapid assessment of the risks, and then choose to take does not affect the sexual function of the antihypertensive drugs.
The status of the retina
For all diabetic patients need to check their technical routine eye conditions, especially for the same time, sexual dysfunction associated with diabetes and hypertension in women, have become essential. Ophthalmologist prohibited retinal disease in some patients with moderate sports activities, because it would intraocular pressure. Sexual activity can increase the cardiovascular system, oxygen consumption and tension. Therefore, we should assess the status of the retina, and prompt treatment of any of its exceptions, must also therapy and blood pressure related to a number of anomalies and sexual dysfunction.
Menopause
Women's sexuality and sexual impulses directly to the body's hormonal balance. In the normal menstrual cycle, sex hormones (including testosterone and progesterone) for improving the mood and feeling is essential to maintain health. Menopause is defined as cessation of menstruation more than 6 months. Because of postmenopausal estrogen caused by the ratio of male hormone imbalance, it could lead to loss of libido.
Reduction in hormone levels may be their first performance in the reduction of insulin requirements, so pre-menopausal women who may reproduce the symptoms of low blood sugar. If this happens, you need to adjust the insulin dose. As soon as possible in the early post-menopausal hormone replacement therapy is beneficial. For each woman is concerned that if they want to make estrogen and androgen hormones on the ratio of optimum level, and often need to be an ideal prescription to re-establish a healthy state.
Neural factors
Diabetes can lead to systemic autonomic nerve function of disease, currently considered "central" of autonomic neuropathy becomes one of the causes of sexual dysfunction. Its causes, including metabolic, vascular, or a combination. Because vaginal sensory nerve lesions, can cause reduced sensitivity of the vagina, vaginal mucous membrane secretion decreased significantly lower degree of vaginal lubrication. These factors can lead to painful intercourse, decreased sexual desire and so on. In addition, the dominance of the parasympathetic pelvic longer, is also the most easily damaged autonomic nervous system, it may also cause damage to sexual dysfunction.
Diabetic Treatment of female sexual dysfunction
The first and most important thing is to learn more about the history and make the necessary medical examination. Medical history should include duration of symptoms, patients and their spouses of the psychological and social conditions, a single patient's medication details, emotions, depression levels, vaginitis, cystitis, and frequency of sexual intercourse and so on. Physical examination should include blood pressure, body mass index (BA41), retina, thyroid, cardiovascular and respiratory system, pelvic examination and leucorrhea situation. Laboratory examination should include blood sugar control over the situation, peri-menopausal period compared with the menopause, vaginal or urinary tract infections. Been proven to affect sexual function should stop taking the drug and switch to other drugs. And then should be the best way to treat high blood pressure, diabetes and retinopathy, and patients respond to appropriate guidance and training. According to check the problems found to decide how to treat sexual dysfunction. Should be supportive psychotherapy and the use of antidepressants. If necessary, should carry out appropriate hormone replacement therapy.
Throughout diabetic women at different stages of life and times of their sexual health are related to her physical, emotional and directly related to blood glucose levels. Although the monitoring of the patient's overall health status, including reach and maintain normal blood sugar is not included is a very easy thing to do, but for those with normal physical, mental and sexual health is essential.
