BACKGROUND: Various anatomical and physiological changes occur to provide a suitable environment for fetal development during pregnancy. Changes in body shape and other physical changes also undergo changes and are associated with postpartum sexual dysfunction. AIM: This study aims to measure and determine the difference in female sexual function index scores for primiparous women post normal delivery and post-cesarean section. METHODS: An observational analytic study with a cross-sectional study design conducted in a hospital. This study involved 60 women with inclusion criteria aged 20–35 years, primiparous women with post-term pregnancy, primiparous women after normal delivery and cesarean section at 3–4 months, women who were married and living with their husbands and were willing to participate in this study. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically. RESULTS: The results showed that the cause of perineal damage was mostly due to the mediolateral episiotomy, the degree of perineal damage with Grade II status, and there was variation in the indication of an elective cesarean section. The statistical test results show that there was no difference in the type of delivery, both normal delivery and cesarean delivery on desire, arousal, satisfaction, lubrication, orgasm, and dyspareunia and the total female sexual index in primiparous (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: This study recommends that in primiparous women care, it is not advisable to choose one type of delivery as a form of prevention of postpartum sexual dysfunction. In addition, in the management of complaints of sexual dysfunction in primiparous it is not required to consider the type of delivery as the main cause.

Abstract Background The 6-item Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is a short form of the original 19-item FSFI that measures sexual function in women. The aim of this study was to examine the factor structure and reliability of the FSFI-6 and to determine the demographic correlates of sexual dysfunction among infertile women in Iran. Results In total, 250 infertile women participated in this study. The mean total FSFI-6 score was 20.71 ± 5.09. Internal consistency of the FSFI-6 was high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.856). All inter-item correlations and item-total correlations were in acceptable range. The results of confirmatory factor analysis provided support for a unidimensional model of the FSFI-6. Among demographic and infertility variables, higher women’s age, low education, unwanted marriage, short infertility duration, and low frequency of intercourse were associated with sexual dysfunction. Conclusions The FSFI-6 demonstrated sound reliability and validity in this study, supporting its continued use for measuring sexual disfunction among infertile women. Its brevity and comprehensiveness allow a quick assessment both in clinical and research settings.

Objectives: This is a cross sectional study conducted in order to determine sexual dysfunction in healthy women and risk factors.Patients and methods: The population of the study consisted of 282 women. The whole of the population, without sample selection, was included in the study. For data, questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Index-FSFI, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted, were used. Student t and chi-square significant tests and logistic regression analysis were used to carry out statistical analysis.Results: It was found that 35.8% of 282 women who participated in the study were in the age range of 30-39 years, 54.6% had high school educational level or above, and 59.6% worked. Prevalence was determined as 53.2% FSFI score < 26 according to Female Sexual Function Index FSFI; 23% of the women had complaints about urinary incontinence UI. According to logistic regression results, it is determined that CFB risk is increased in patients with age and urination problem. It was determined that there was no significant correlation between income, number of children, prceived economic status, dyspareunia, having problem with the partner, experiencing premenstrual syndrome, and SD. Conclusion: In this study, approximately half of healthy women had SD and development of SD was affected based on some descriptive characteristics. As sexual life was considered as a factor increasing life quality, it was thought that it is fairly important to discuss the questioning of problems related to sexual life for systematic evaluation of patients, as well.Keywords: SD, risk factors, prevalence, Turkey.

Abstract Purpose The diagnosis of probable multiple system atrophy relies on the presence of severe cardiovascular or urogenital autonomic failure. Erectile dysfunction is required to fulfil the latter criterion in men, whereas no corresponding item is established for women. In this study, we aimed to investigate sexual dysfunction in women with multiple system atrophy. Methods We administered the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire and interviewed women with multiple system atrophy and age-matched controls regarding the presence of “genital hyposensitivity.” Results We recruited 25 women with multiple system atrophy and 42 controls. Female Sexual Function Index scores in sexually active women with multiple system atrophy were significantly lower (multiple system atrophy = 10; 15.4, 95% CI [10.1, 22.1], controls = 37; 26.1 [24.1, 28.1], p = 0.0004). The lowest scores concerned the domains of desire, arousal and lubrication. Genital hyposensitivity was reported by 56% of the patients with multiple system atrophy and 9% controls (p < 0.0001). Conclusions Sexual dysfunction is highly prevalent in women with multiple system atrophy. Screening for disturbances in specific sexual domains should be implemented in the clinical evaluation of women with suggestive motor symptoms.

Background: The evaluation of sexual function is an important outcome in women who suffer some pelvic floor disorders (PFD). The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) is the most widely used questionnaire to evaluate the sexual health in female population. This study presents the adaptation and psychometric validation of the FSFI for Spanish women with PFD. Methods: The Spanish version of the FSFI was developed through the forward and backward translation process. The psychometric properties of reliability, validity, responsiveness, and feasibility were conducted in Spanish women with PFD who were assigned to the case or control group (with or without sexual dysfunction respectively). Results: A total of 323 Spanish women with PFD were recruited. The cross-cultural adaptation of the Spanish FSFI achieved a good semantic, conceptual, idiomatic, and content equivalence. The test-retest reliability was shown to be high in all of the cases. The convergent validity showed high results in the domain intercorrelations between each domain and total FSFI. The discriminant validity showed statistically significant differences between sexual dysfunction and control groups. The responsiveness was shown to be moderate to good in the dimensions and excellent in the total FSFI. Conclusions: Spanish FSFI can be used as a reliable, valid, responsive, and feasible instrument for assessing sexual function in women.

Objective: To determine the sexual dysfunction among the patients of rheumatoid arthritis and assess the relationship of various factors with presence of sexual dysfunction among the target population. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Rheumatology department, Pak Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Aug 2019 to Apr 2020. Methodology: The sample population comprised of 350 married female patients of rheumatoid arthritis between the age of 18 and 45 years, reporting for the routine follow-up at rheumatology department a tertiary care hospital. Sexual function was assessed using the female sexual function index (FSFI). Relationship of age, duration of rheumatoid arthritis, presence of comorbidities and polypharmacy was assessed with the sexual dysfunction among the target population. Results: Mean age of the study participants was 31.15 ± 4.22 years. Out of 350 women suffering from rheumatoid arthritis screened through female sexual function index, 172 (49.1%) had normal sexual function while 178 (50.9%) had sexual dysfunction. After applying the chi-square test, we found that polypharmacy and long duration of illness had significant association with the sexual dysfunction. Conclusion: High reporting of sexual dysfunction among the women suffering from rheumatoid arthritis indicates that this has been a neglected phenomenon by the physicians and researchers and may be added in routine screening. Women with long duration of illness and those managed with more than one drugs should be focused more while screening for sexual problems.
