“…Sexual function of women with diabetes, however, has received less attention in clinical studies. Moreover results are less conclusive than studies in men, likely due to several factors, including a lack of standardized definitions of female sexual dysfunction, absence of well-validates scales, and social taboos regarding female sexuality [7]. …”

Few studies address alteration of sexual function in women with diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Quality of life surveys suggest that discussion of sexual function and other reproductive issues are of psychosocial assessment and that education on sexual function in the setting of chronic diseases such as diabetes and CKD is widely needed. Pharmacologic therapy with estrogen/progesterone and androgens along with glycemic control, correction of anemia, ensuring adequate dialysis delivery, and treatment of underlying depression are important. Changes in lifestyle such as smoking cessation, strength training, and aerobic exercises may decrease depression, enhance body image, and have positive impacts on sexuality. Many hormonal abnormalities which occur in women with diabetes and CKD who suffer from chronic anovulation and lack of progesterone secretion may be treated with oral progesterone at the end of each menstrual cycle to restore menstrual cycles. Hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) is the most common sexual problem reported by women with diabetes and CKD. Sexual function can be assessed in women, using the 9-item Female Sexual Function Index, questionnaire, or 19 items. It is important for nephrologists and physicians to incorporate assessment of sexual function into the routine evaluation protocols.

“…All participants, investigators, and study personnel were blinded to treatment assignment. Patients returned to the clinical research center at weeks 4,8,12,16,20, and 24 for assessments of efficacy and safety. Medical histories and physical examinations were obtained periodically during follow-up visits, as well as evaluations of serum hormone levels, lipid levels, liver function, and carbohydrate metabolism.…”

“…11 The International Consensus Development Conference on Female Sexual Dysfunction defined hypoactive sexual desire disorder as the persistent deficiency (or absence) of sexual fantasies or thoughts or desire for or receptivity to sexual activity, which results in personal distress. 12 Studies involving testosterone therapy in the form of oral preparations, 13,14 intramuscular injections, 15,16 and subcutaneous implants [17][18][19] have demonstrated significant improvement in sexual desire in postmenopausal women. However, many of these studies included small sample sizes and were of short duration, warranting large-scale, longer-term trials of testosterone therapy in women.…”

“…After significant criticism of how sexual disorders have been expressed in the DSM (Bancroft, Graham, & McCord, 2001;Basson et al, 2000;Tiefer, 2001;Vroege, Gijs, & 334 S. A. Pinto Hengeveld, 2001), the DSM-5 (APA, 2013) has revised the nomenclature and criteria, distinguishing between the diagnosis for a man and that of a woman.…”

The development of allies is crucial to the asexual population. The asexual community is among the most under-researched and poorly understood sexual minority populations. Through discussion of basic information on asexuality, the distinction between asexuality and a diagnosable disorder, and ways that other identities intersect with asexuality, this article offers a foundation and model for asexual ally development. Based on the information presented, recommendations for counselor and counselor educator allies who are working with asexual identified, or potentially asexual individuals, are presented. Suggestions for future research on asexuality are also explored.
