Objective: To determine the relationship of salivary testosterone levels with sexual desire disorders. Method: This study was an observational analytic study with a case control study approach using the Decreased Sexual Desire Screener (DSDS) questionnaire with a total sample of 54 women divided into case groups: 27 surgical menopausal in the H. Adam Malik General Hospital and Pirngadi Hospital with control group consisting of 27 normal women who met the study criteria. Patients who were according to the inclusion criteria were examined blood FSH levels (for surgical menopause) and testosterone saliva obtained from the patient's saliva sample. Then interviews were carried out with DSDS questionnaire. Data were analyzed and the test was considered significant if the P value <0.05. Result: Based on the results of the study it was found that the mean FSH level in the case group was 59.29 mIU / ml with SD = 15.15 mIU / ml. The average testosterone level in the case group was 22.41 pg / ml while in the control group it was 44.22 pg / ml with a p value <0.001. In the group of subjects with surgical menopause there were 20 people (74.1%) having a sexual desire disorder, while in the control group there were only 5 people (18.5%) who had a sexual desire disorder with a p value <0.001 (OR= 12.571, 95% CI = 3,434 - 46,018). Subjects of women with surgical menopause had a risk of 12,571 times experiencing sexual desire disorders compared to the control group. Conclusion: There was a significant correlation between salivary testosterone levels with sexual desire disorders.
