ABSTRACT

Diabetes can cause a wide range of physical, mental, and sexual problems in both men and women. One of these is sexual dysfunction, which can progress into a major social and psychological condition and has an impact on therapy's efficacy as well as marital relationships. Determining the prevalence and risk factors of sexual dysfunction among Saudi Arabian diabetics was, thus, the goal of this study. This review collected data from on Science Direct, Scopus, and PubMed. Data for this study was gathered from multiple databases between 2000 and 2023. Ten of the 230 papers that were assessed and included in the study since they satisfied the requirements. Saudi Arabia had the greatest rate of sexual dysfunction. Sexual dysfunction was very common in males compared to females. Patients with sexual dysfunction were more likely to have type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction varied according to the research participant's location, type of diabetes, and sex. Consequently, male participants in the type 2 diabetes mellitus study experienced higher rates of sexual dysfunction. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction varied according on the type of diabetes and the sex. The results suggest that individuals with diabetes who are experiencing sexual dysfunction should be screened and given the proper treatment.
