Sexual dysfunction in the context of endocrine disease In any given person, non-endocrine factors including psychological, relational, contextual, cultural, non-endocrine medical influences especially depression, hypertension, and neurologic disease may be more important. 6

Sexual dysfunction in diabetes mellitus Male: Erectile disorder: Up to 75% Meta-analysis studies men (age: 55.8 7.9 years): 52.5% (CI 48.8-56.2) Type 1 DM: 37.5% Type 2 DM: 66.3% Odds ratio: 3.62 (CI 2.53-5.16) Ejaculatory disorders Up to 1/3 Female: Overall prevalence: Meta-analysis of 25 studies including 3892 women with type 2 DM aged 18-70 years: 68.6% (CI 61.1-75.3) Type 1 DM: 18-71% Odds ratio: Type 1 DM: 2.27 Type 2 DM: 2.49 Any type: 2.02 of 145 including 88,577 Kouidrat Y, et al.

Sexual dysfunction in hyperprolactinemia Male: Hyperprolactinemia affects 1-5% of men who present with erectile dysfunction. About 75% of men with macroprolactinomas 50% of microprolactinomas reduced sexual desire or erectile dysfunction; almost all have nocturnal penile erections. Female: Hyperprolactinemic women without depression or other hormonal disorders have reported lower scores for sexual desire, lubrication, satisfaction controls. arousal, and have and with report orgasm, than men subnormal Bhasin, et al.

Agenda Introduction Sexual dysfunction in diabetes mellitus Sexual dysfunction in obesity Sexual dysfunction in metabolic syndrome Sexual dysfunction in thyroid disease Sexual dysfunction in hyperprolactinemia Sexual dysfunction in growth hormone deficiency and acromegaly Concluding remarks 27
The physiological role of GH on sexual function is not fully elucidated. A decrease of desire and arousability both in men and women, together with an impairment of erectile function in men, have been described both in patients with GH deficiency and acromegaly. It is not clear whether they are dependent directly on the hormone defect or excess or they are consequence of the hypogonadism or the different clinical complications or the physical disfigurement and psychological imbalance, which are associated with the diseases, and are potentially affecting sexual function. Galdiero M, et al. J Endocrinol Invest 2012;35:782-794. 28
Conflicting data regarding female sexual dysfunction in: Hyperandrogenic disorders Adrenal insufficiency Estrogen deficiency syndromes 29
Conclusions Sexual dysfunction can herald serious underlying disease. Many common endocrine disorders have negative effects on sexual function. Sexual dysfunction in medical disorders has both organic and psychological origins. Physicians should consider the sexual enquiry as an integral component of medical assessment. 30
