This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the sexual functions and quality of life and the problems during menopausal period. This descriptive, cross-sectional study included a total of 317 women. The mean total Female Sexual Function Index score was 18.8 ± 8.7, while the mean total Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female score was 72.7 ± 13.7. Sexual dysfunction was found in 82 percent. There was a positive significant correlation between the total Female Sexual Function Index scores and total Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female scores ( p < 0.05). Our study results suggest that women do not often experience serious menopausal symptoms, but have sexual dysfunction with a moderate sexual quality of life.

Abstract Background: Bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction are among common complications in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). These complications could affect the quality of life. The goal of this study is to assess bowel, bladder, and sexual dysfunction and quality of life in married women with MS. Methods: One hundred and twenty-seven married women with MS were enrolled. They fill the valid and reliable Persian version of the Female sexual function index (FSFI), SF-36, Bladder Control Scale (BLCS), and The Bowel Control Scale (BWCS). Results: Mean age and disease duration were 38±7.9 and 8.4±6.5 years, respectively. There was significant negative correlation between SF-36 and BWCS (r=-0.25, p=0.001) and BLCS (r=-0.36, p=0.001) and significant positive correlation between FSFI and SF-36(r=0.27, p=0.004). There was a significant negative correlation between age and total FSFI (r=-0.34, p<0.001) and also between EDSS and FSFI (r=-0.21, p=0.01). By considering 26.55 as the cut-off point of FSFI, we found that women with sexual dysfunction had a more impaired quality of life and more bowel control problems. Linear regression analysis showed that EDSS and BLCS are independent predictors of SF-36. Conclusion: Bowel/bladder and sexual dysfunction have negative impacts on the quality of life in women with multiple sclerosis.

Background: It was well known that physiological, psychological, as well as sociocultural are the factors that contribute to female sexual dysfunction. This study aimed to find out whether sexual function of women at perimenopausal age correlated with their ontogenetic factors, such as the age at menarche and parity.Methods: Women (n=80) from nine villages in district of Lampung Tengah, Lampung Province, Indonesia aged 40-50 years who meet inclusion criteria participated in the study. Predesigned questionnaire was used to assess socio-demographic characteristics, and the female sexual function index (FSFI) was used to score sexual function of the respondents.Results: None of the 80 respondents smoke, consumes alcohol, and has medical records. Based on the FSFI scores, except for one participant, all respondents suffered from sesual dysfunction with the average of total score 18.77. By using median score (18.52) the respondents were dichotomized into two categories, high and low sexual dysfunction. The results of Chi-square analysis and logistic regression showed that respondents with the characteristics of age at menarche <15 years and parity >4 children have better sexual-quality in comparison to those with the age at menarche >15 years and the parity <4 children.Conclusions: It can be concluded that early menarche and high parity might contributed to better sexual-quality of life in perimenopausal women.
