| Abstract | Background Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a prevalent pregnancy complication with well-established adverse effects on maternal and fetal health. However, research on its impact on sexual health is inconsistent. Currently, there is no comprehensive review on sexual function in pregnant women with GDM. The purpose of this study is to systematically gather and synthesize the available evidence, addressing this important research gap. Methods This systematic review and meta-analysis utilized a comprehensive literature search strategy and incorporated the following databases: the Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, SID, and Google Scholar. The search was conducted until February 21, 2024. The quality of the cross-sectional and case‒control studies included in the current study was evaluated via the modified and standard Newcastle‒Ottawa scale. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated via the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) framework. A meta-regression was conducted to examine the variables that influence total sexual function. Additionally, sequential analysis was performed to determine the required information size for the meta-analysis. Results The systematic search process yielded a total of 370 studies. The final analysis included six studies. The meta-analysis findings revealed that compared with controls, women with GDM had significantly lower total scores for sexual function (SMD − 1.80, 95% CI -3.44 to -0.15, p = 0.03), sexual desire (SMD − 5.14, 95% CI -8.14 to -2.14, p < 0.001), arousal (SMD − 0.58, 95% CI -0.95 to -0.21, p = 0.002), lubrication (MD -0.41, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.22, p < 0.001) and satisfaction (SMD − 3.82, 95% CI -6.08 to -1.57, p < 0.001). However, the analysis did not reveal statistically significant differences in sexual pain, or orgasm between the GDM and control groups. The meta-regression analysis revealed that older age in the control group was associated with poorer sexual function. Conclusion Compared with control women, pregnant women diagnosed with GDM have lower sexual function. Further research with larger sample sizes is necessary to enhance the robustness of the evidence, given the low level of certainty. Healthcare providers should focus on the sexual well-being of women with GDM and create tailored interventions to address their specific needs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
