Diabetes can take away sexual drive from women

Research shows that women who have diabetes cannot enjoy sex as much as women who do not have this chronic disease. Diabetes is considered a killer disease by physicians and not without reason. This disease slowly incapacitates the inner organs of your body if not treated or curbed in time. High blood sugar levels in women make their sex life insipid and unsatisfactory.

Previously researchers only focused on the sex life problems of men with diabetes. It is already known to us that many of the men who have diabetes suffer from impotence. Now scientists and researchers have turned their attention towards the sexual health of women who are suffering from diabetes. Research is still going on but the findings of scientists have already frightened us.

According to Dr. Alison Huang who has been conducting, the new research on the effects of diabetes on women’s sexual health thinks that this matter has been neglected before by scientists and much is not known about the sex life of older women who have diabetes. Therefore, she had to work hard for finding out exactly what kind of sexual problems these women face. Dr. Huang works in the University of California and she has organized a survey for finding out more about the sex life of diabetic women.

The survey results have been deduced from the opinions of women aged between 40 and 80. Approximately 2,300 women were surveyed in California.

Huang found out that most of the women who have to take regular insulin tablets or injections are very much dissatisfied with their dwindling sex life. Even women who are not getting insulin treatment but have diabetes have an unsatisfactory sex life. A much lesser percentage of normal women complained about their sex life.

This shows that diabetes has a role to play in the sexual satisfaction of both men and women.

The research results of Dr. Huang were published in the renowned journal named Obstetrics and Gynecology. Huang notices that women who have diabetes are interested in intercourse just like any woman who does not have diabetes. Diabetes has not affected their sex drive but it is preventing them from deriving satisfaction from mating.

The research team thinks that diabetes is affecting the nerve receptors and not letting women feel pleasure. Another reason can be the stress of dealing with such a chronic killer disease.

Summary:

The chronic disease named diabetes affects the sex life of both women and men and researchers are trying to find out the reasons behind this.
