Sex Steroid Hormones in Diabetes‐Induced Sexual Dysfunction: Focus on the Female Gender

Research related to diabetic women and sexual dysfunction is severely lacking.

Investigation into treating diabetic patients with adjunct hormonal therapies or steroid hormone receptor modulators holds much promise. Kim NN.
