• In 1410 women treated for diabetes examinations were done for detection of the correlation between changes in the statics of genitals and diabetes. In view of a rather scant literature on this problem which suggested the possibility of this correlation it was tried to study this problem in a large material. Diabetes is regarded as a public health problem in view of its prevalence and possible complications, and in this connection the interest of the gynaecologists in this association is rising. Diabetic women were compared with 920 non-diabetic women matched for body weight, age and obstetric history. The obtained results confirmed the supposition that diabetic women had much more frequently, in 40%, changes in genital statics than non-diabetic women--only 24%. Conclusions are drawn from this finding.
