Extract
Introduction
Women's sexuality is very complex and influenced by various factors. Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD) is a common but often neglected health problem. FSD encompasses problem of sexual desire, arousal, orgasmic ability and pelvic pain.
Objective
Aim of the study was to find out what are the possible risk factors of the occurrence of FSD.
Methods
We performed cross-sectional study on the group of 561 women aged from 18-40. All of study participants completed a questionnaire, which consisted of 60 questions regarding demographic data, general medical history, six-item version of Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI-6 is a shorter, validated version of FSFI-19 for screening) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Basing on FSFI-6 total score, we divided them into two groups – with Female Sexual Dysfunction (FSD; FSFI<19, n= 162) and without (FSFI>=19, n=399).
Results
Prevalence of FSD in our group of patients was 28.88%). Those women who were: older, single, pregnant in the past or gave birth in the past, suffer from recurrent vaginal infections and achieved higher BDI scores, were more likely to have FSD. The most important Results of the study are summarized in the table below (Table 1).
