Diabetes mellitus is a disease associated with multiple complications due to ineffective diabetes management in the early period after diagnosis and especially in the long term. However, the risk of developing sexual dysfunctions, which affect both men and women, is rarely mentioned in association with diabetes (1). Sexual complications not only disrupt with the social and sexual life of patients, but are often the first symptom of other health problems. For these reasons, in people with diabetes, early detection and proper treatment of sexual dysfunctions should be of concern physicians caring for diabetic patients.
