Causes of sexual dysfunction:
----------------------------------
* Vascular damage (damage to blood vessels) can affect blood supply to the vagina and clitoris which can cause problems with dryness and arousal. Neuropathy (nerve damage) can have a similar effect in that it can reduce sensitivity.
* Diabetes can also lead to low estrogen levels which can also affect lubrication of the vagina.
*However, it does not affect your ability to become pregnant.
* Psychological reasons can be a common cause of sexual dysfunction in women and can affect relationships.
Diabetes makes life harder and this can affect one’s sex life in a number of ways including stress, self-image and through to depression.
