Diabetes is a risk factor for Vaginal Dryness
Vaginal dryness – common intimate health issue in diabetic patients
Many women with diabetes experience problems in the intimate area. Female sexual dysfunction is more prevalent in women with diabetes compared to women without diabetes[1, 2, 3], with about 18 to 42 % affected[1]. Among postmenopausal women vaginal dryness is even more prevalent in women with diabetes as compared to women without diabetes.[4] Possible mechanisms of female sexual dysfunction include damage to nerve fibers and difficulties in arousal resulting in less lubrication or a decrease in vaginal blood flow, both, due to diabetes.[1, 4]
