Background: Hysterectomy is the most commonly performed gynecological procedure. It can affect female sexual functions in a number of ways mainly because of disruption of local nerve and blood supply and intimate anatomical relationship of pelvic organs. We intend to evaluate the effect of total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) on female sexual function by comparing their preoperative and postoperative sexual performances using female sexual function index (FSFI). Materials and methods: The study was carried out in 50 hysterectomised patients over the duration of one year. Their sexual functions were assessed preoperatively prior to their admission in hospital. Then once hysterectomy is done, their postoperative sexual performances were assessed over the last four weeks period at least four months after their hysterectomy, using FSFI. Results: Out of 50 patients, 39 patients had undergone TLH with ovarian conservation and 11 had undergone TLH with bilateral salpingoophorectomy (BSO). Out of 50 participants, 27 had scores of less than 26 using FSFI, but after hysterectomy, 14 participants had scores of less than 26. The overall score using FSFI was improved from 24.26±2.2 to 28.11±2.2 (p-value <0.0001). Conclusion: Women can be positively reassured that hysterectomy performed for benign reasons does not negatively affect sexuality. TLH is less invasive in terms of causing damage to various pelvic nerves and vessels and hence causes less-to-no effect on female sexual functions.

Background: The menopausal transition period was characterized by the loss of ovarian function and was a physiologically phenomenon correlated with the decline in estrogen production. Therefore it may affect genital health and decrease libido of all women in this age group. Sexual disorders was taken interest all over the world. Subjects and Method: A cross study was conducted on 419 menopausal women from 01/2016 to 09/2016, based on the questionaire assessment of sexual function in women: FSFI- The female sexual function index. Results: Sexual disorders (86.6%); No sexual activity (6.6%); Decreased sexual activity (85.4). The mean score of six parts of sexual disorders based on FIFS: 24.6 ± 1.9. Sexual disorders: decreased sexual lobido 51.3%, decreased felling sexual aroused 60.8%, decreased lubricated 74.2%, decreased orgasm 49.8%, decreased satisfied 50.8%, pain 68.5%. Pain associated with decreased lubricated 87.4%. Pain associated with decreased sexual desire 51.6%. Conclusion: More attention is needed for sexual dysfunction in menopausal women.

Objectives: Female sexual dysfunction is an underestimated problem that negatively affects women’s quality of life. Although the overall prevalence of sexual dysfunction in women is high, only a few studies have focused on this problem. In Japan, an index of female sexual function has not been clearly defined. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the sexual function of normal Japanese women and the temporal changes they experienced using the Female Sexual Function Index administered online in 2012 and 2019. Methods: The subjects were Japanese women aged 20–79 years registered in an Internet research company. We collected data of 1034 and 2031 women in 2012 and 2019, respectively, based on Japan’s population distribution according to age. Subsequently, we analyzed the collected data using a Japanese version of the Female Sexual Function Index. We investigated the temporal changes in the Female Sexual Function Index total score, the ratio of women who did not engage in sexual activities and women having “no sexual activity” with their partners, and the total Female Sexual Function Index scores according to age. Results: The average Female Sexual Function Index total score decreased from 14.6 in 2012 to 12.5 in 2019 ( p < 0.001). No significant difference was observed in the average Female Sexual Function Index score of the group with sexual activity between 2012 (22.2) and 2019 (22.4). The ratio of women not engaging in sexual activities increased from 42.2% in 2012 to 54.0% in 2019. The ratio of women having “no sexual activity” with their partners increased by 10%. Conclusion: Comparison of data between 2012 and 2019 indicated that Japanese women have become less sexually active. The average Female Sexual Function Index total score of 22 may be useful as a reference value for diagnosing female sexual dysfunction in Japan.

Abstract Objective To assess the sexual function of women with spina bifida (SB), and to verify the factors that influence their sexual function. Methods A cross-sectional study in which a validated female-specific questionnaire was applied to 140 SB female patients from four different cities (Porto Alegre, Brazil; and Barcelona, Madrid, and Málaga, Spain) between 2019 and 2020. The questionnaires collected data on the clinical characteristics of SB, and female sexual function was assessed using the 6-item version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-6) validated to Portuguese and Spanish. Results Half of the patients had had sexual activity at least once in the life, but most (57.1%) did not use any contraception method. Sexual dysfunction was present in most (84.3%) patients, and all sexual function domains were impaired compared those of non-neurogenic women. The presence of urinary and fecal incontinence significantly affected the quality of their sexual activity based on the FSFI-6. Conclusion The specific clinical aspects of the SB patients, such as urinary and fecal incontinence, should be properly addressed by their doctors, since they are associated with reduced sexual activity and lower FSFI-6 scores in the overall or specific domains. There is also a need to improve gynecological care among sexually-active SB patients, since most do not use any contraceptive methods and are at risk of inadvertent pregnancy.
