Abstract

Introduction. Sexual function of type 1 diabetic (T1D) males vs. controls has been scarcely investigated. Investigation of reproductive health of young males was performed in 2003/2004 (“The Reproductive Function of Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian Young Men” (ELLY)) (1) in the Baltic countries although questions regarding sexual function were not addressed specifically at that time. ELLY study participants were invited as controls for investigation of sexual function in T1D males. European Male Ageing Study (EMAS) Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (SFQ) (2) was used for the evaluation of sexual function. Conclusion. As results of EMAS-SFQ show, changes of domains of sexual function appear progressively in 3 out of 4 sexual domains in the step forward fashion (masturbation-sexual functioning distressoverall sexual function) and are all finally found at 10-19 years of T1D duration.
