Abstract:

Background. Female sexual dysfunction is extremely common and affects about half of the worlds women. Currently, the question of the relationship between gynecological morbidity in women and the characteristics of sexual activity and sexual functioning in a couple remains poorly understood. Aim. To establish gynecological diseases associated with decreased sexual functioning, sexual health disorders in women on the basis of a screening assessment when visiting the clinic. Materials and methods. We conducted a cross-sectional descriptive study of the sexual functioning of 1256 women who presented to outpatient appointments. Anamnestic and clinical methods were used, sexological testing using the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire. Results. Based on anamnestic data, screening assessment of sexual health and sexual functioning of 1235 women who applied for outpatient appointments to a gynecological clinic, a high gynecological and extragenital morbidity was established in patients (100%). The structure of gynecological diseases is represented by female infertility (48.3%), inflammatory diseases of the genital organs (38.5%; of which salpingo-oophoritis 16.6% and vulvovaginitis 15.9%), endometriosis (13.9%) , menstrual irregularities (8.3%), as well as pain disorders (8.1%). The incidence of infections, predominantly sexually transmitted, was revealed, among them papillomatous viral infection (8.3%), genital herpes (5.3%) and chlamydia (3.7%). It was found that in gynecological patients with diseases characterized by a chronic course, inflammation, pelvic pain, menstrual and reproductive disorders, sexual functioning significantly decreases (p=0.00) and sexual health is impaired. Sexual dysfunctions were detected in 21.6% of patients, their structure is represented by isolated (39.3%) and combined (60.7%) disorders of libido, orgasm, sexual anhedonia, failure of genital response, as well as dyspareunia, vaginismus. In 33.7% of patients, preclinical forms of sexual dysfunction were identified that did not meet the criteria for sexual dysfunction (did not cause distress, were short-lived), but confirmed by the analysis of patient complaints, as well as by the results of the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire. Conclusion. Thus, chronic gynecological diseases with inflammatory manifestations, pelvic pain, menstrual and reproductive dysfunctions are associated with decreased sexual functioning, sexual dysfunctions, and preclinical forms of sexual dysfunctions.

Abstract:

Understanding women in their entirety, considering not only organic aspects but also psychological, sentimental, relational, and beliefs aspects is of paramount importance for the individualized approach to sexual dysfunction. The professional should seek to understand the factors that lead to the development of dysfunctions. Thus, understanding whether sexuality beliefs and education influence sexual dysfunctions may be a differential to treatment success, as well as in the management of attention directed toward women with dysfunction. To identify the influence of beliefs and sexual education for the development of female sexual dysfunctions. We searched publications in the databases SciELO, PubMed and Virtual Health Library covering the following key words: “female sexual dysfunctions”, “beliefs” and “sexual education”. A descriptive analysis of the results was performed in which data presentation followed exclusively the terminologies followed by the authors. Five hundred and fifty-two articles were found. Considering the exclusion criteria, only two articles were selected for review. The sample size was 337 women with a age range of 28.7 to 35 years. The studies were conducted in Portugal and Iran. According to the authors, sexual health education is effective in improving female sexual function, since the belief that sexual desire and pleasure are sinful seems to be related to hypoactive sexual desire. Beliefs about body image may be related to orgasmic disorders in women. The shortage of studies addressing the influence of education and beliefs on female sexual dysfunction demonstrates the importance and necessity of new research using specific markers in order to contribute to a broader and more effective discussion.

Abstract:

The first challenge in diagnosing female sexual dysfunction(s) originates in our diagnostic system. The traditional model of classifying sexual dysfunction is anchored in the sexual response cycle: desire - arousal - orgasm - resolution. However, as some experts have pointed out, this classification may be problematic in the area of female sexuality. Both the diagnoses of female hypoactive sexual desire disorder (FHSDD) and female arousal disorder (FSAD) probably need to be redefined and refined. Examples include adding the lack of responsive desire to the FHSDD criteria and creating categories of subjective FSAD and genital FSAD.The second challenge in diagnosis female dysfunction is the lack of solid diagnostic instruments, diagnosis-specific laboratory assays and other specific testing. Specific measures of female sexual functioning, such as Female Sexual Functioning Index, Profile of Female Sexual Functioning, Sexual Function Questionnaire, Sexual Desire and Interest Inventory, and Female Sexual Distress Scale were mostly developed as outcome measures. No solid diagnostic instrument for sexual dysfunction exists, not even a version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM sexual dysfunctions. The contribution of imaging techniques, such as ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging or thermography, to the diagnosis is unclear, and these techniques are far (if ever) from clinical use.Thus, a detailed comprehensive clinical interview combined with physical examination, possibly a gynecological examination, and in some cases laboratory hormonal testing remains the cornerstone of diagnosing and assessing female sexual dysfunctions.

Abstract:

Sexual function is an important component of either general health and quality of life in both genders. Many studies have focused on the different risk factors for sexual dysfunctions, proving an association with several medical conditions. Endocrine disorders have been often mentioned in the pathogenesis of female and male sexual dysfunctions; however, particularly in women, sexual function is rarely addressed during clinical, in general, and endocrinological, in particular, consultations. As a thorough diagnosis is required in order to provide an adequately tailored treatment, knowing how each endocrine dysfunction can impair sexual health is of the utmost importance, considering the high prevalence of conditions such as disorders of pituitary, thyroid, adrenal, gonads, as well as metabolic disorders. We performed a thorough review of existing literature on the different mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of female sexual dysfunctions secondary to endocrine disorders in order to provide an up-to-date reference.

Abstract:

Introduction: The sexual response in women is complex. The association of infertility and sexual dysfunction is overlapping.Objective: To find the incidence and prevalence of female sexual dysfunction in infertile females and its correlation with infertility.Material and Methods:Total of 500 patients in the age group of 24-42 years participated in the prospective study. They were assigned fertile and infertile group. Female sexual dysfunction was assessed according to FSFI questionnaire. Patients with past history of any psychiatric illness, endocrinological disorder e.g. diabetes mellitus or on antihypertensive treatment were excluded. In our study 170 (63.67%) patients in the infertile group (n=267) had female sexual dysfunction as compared to108 (46.35%) in the fertile group (n=233), which is statistically significant (P 0.0001). Most common dysfunction observed was arousal (70%) in infertile patients. Common dysfunctions observed in fertile females were desire(40%) and orgasm(40%). FSD was significantly higher in infertile females of 31-37 years age group (P 0.002), while more common in fertile females of >42years age (P< 0.0001) . Higher female sexual dysfunction was observed in illiterate infertile females (P 0.039). Amongst the pathological factors endometriosis was the statistically significant factor associated with female sexual dysfunction and infertility (P <0.0001). No significant correlation in duration of infertility or type of infertility was observed with female sexual dysfunction.Conclusions: Female sexual dysfunction as the cause or the effect should be ascertained in infertility.Bangladesh J Obstet Gynaecol, 2013; Vol. 28(1) : 26-30

Abstract:

Sexual dysfunction in female cancer patients remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. As sexual dysfunction is becoming an increasingly common side effect of cancer treatments, it is imperative for healthcare providers and especially gynecologic oncologists to include a comprehensive evaluation of sexual health as a routine part of the workup of such patients. Although most oncologists are not experienced in treating sexual dysfunctions, simple tools can be incorporated into clinical practice to improve the management of these conditions. In this review, we propose a practical approach to selecting proper treatment for sexual dysfunctions in female cancer patients. This includes three main steps: knowledge, diagnosis, and sexual counseling. Knowledge can be acquired through a specific updating about sexual issues in female cancers, and with a medical training in female sexual dysfunctions. Diagnosis requires a comprehensive history and physical examination. Sexual counseling is one of the most important interventions to consider and, in some cases, it may be the only intervention needed to help cancer patients tolerate their symptoms. Sexual counseling should be addressed by oncologists; however, select patients should be referred for qualified psychological or sexological interventions where appropriate. Finally, a multidisciplinary team approach may be the best way to address this challenging issue.

Abstract:

Aims:The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions and its relationship with depression and anxiety in a sample of patients underwent bone marrow transplantation (BMT).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in 135 married patients who underwent BMT at least 1 year before evaluation. Sexual dysfunctions assessed by a questionnaire that was derived from Sexual History Form and Sexual Problem Measure. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to assess depression and anxiety in patients.Results:Questionnaires were completed by 128 (82.5%) participant. Fifty three percents of participants was male. The mean age of participants was 39.57±8.74. Sexual dysfunctions in post BMT period were significantly more frequent than period prior to the beginning of oncologic malignancy (P< 0.05). Sexual activity was decreased significantly after BMT (P< 0.01). The three most prevalent sexual dysfunctions in male group were premature ejaculation(56%) and problem in orgasm(40%) and desire(32.7%), and in female group were problem in arousal(77%) and desire(77%) and painful intercourse(77%). Sexual dysfunction was more prevalent in female group.According to HADS score, 42(32.8%) patients had clinical depression (HADS-D score>14) and 12 (9.8%) patients had clinical anxiety (HADS-A score>14). There was not any significant relationship between mean HADS-A and HADS-D scores and scores of sexual dysfunctions questionnaires.Conclusion:This study showed that sexual function and activity may be adversely affected by BMT. Factors other than anxiety and depression may have correlation with sexual dysfunction in these patients, of course limitation of this study should be considered.

Abstract:

Sexual dysfunctions have been the most prevalent group of sexual disorders and include a large number of populations of both sexes. The research of sexual behavior and treatment of women with sexual distress arises many questions related to differences in sexual response of men and women. The conceptualization of this response in modern sexology has changed over time. The objective of our paper was to present the changes and evolution of the female?s sexual response concept in a summarized and integrated way, to analyze the expanded and revised definitions of the female sexual response as well as implications and recommendations of new approaches to diagnostics and treatment according to the established changes. The lack of adequate empirical basis of the female sexual response model is a critical question in the literature dealing with this issue. Some articles report that linear models demonstrate more correctly and precisely the sexual response of women with normal sexual functions in relation to women with sexual dysfunction. Modification of this model later resulted in a circular model which more adequately presented the sexual response of women with sexual function disorder than of women with normal sexual function. The nonlinear model of female sexual response constructed by Basson incorporates the value of emotional intimacy, sexual stimulus and satisfaction with the relationship. Female functioning is significantly affected by multiple psychosocial factors such as satisfaction with the relationship, self-image, earlier negative sexual experience, etc. Newly revised, expanded definitions of female sexual dysfunction try to contribute to new knowledge about a highly contextual nature of woman?s sexuality so as to enhance clinical treatment of dysfunctions. The definitions emphasize the evaluation of the context of women?s problematic sexual experiences.

Abstract:

Introduction Sexual pleasure is fundamental for the maintenance of health and well-being, but it may be adversely affected by medical and psychosocial conditions. Many patients only feel that their health is fully restored after they resume normal sexual activities. Any discussion of sexuality in a doctor's office is typically limited, mainly because of a lack of models or protocols available to guide the discussion of the topic. Objectives To present a model designed to guide gynecologists in the management of female sexual complaints. Methods This study presents a protocol used to assess women's sexual problems. A semi-structured interview is used to assess sexual function, and the teaching, orienting and permitting (TOP) intervention model that was designed to guide gynecologists in the management of sexual complaints. Results The use of protocols may facilitate the discussion of sexual issues in gynecological settings, and has the potential to provide an effective approach to the complex aspects of sexual dysfunction in women. The TOP model has three phases: teaching the sexual response, in which the gynecologist explains the physiology of the female sexual response, and focuses on the three main phases thereof (desire, excitement and orgasm); orienting a woman toward sexual health, in which sexual education is used to provide information on the concept and healthy experience of sexuality; and permitting and stimulating sexual pleasure, which is based on the assumption that sexual pleasure is an individual right and is important for the physical and emotional well-being. Conclusion The use of protocols may provide an effective approach to deal with female sexual dysfunction in gynecological offices.

Abstract:

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown moderate heritability for female orgasm. So far, however, no study has addressed the pattern of genetic and environmental influences on diverse sexual dysfunctions in women, nor how genetic and environmental factors contribute to the associations between them.MethodThe sample was drawn from the Genetics of Sex and Aggression (GSA) sample and consisted of 6446 female twins (aged 18–43 years) and 1994 female siblings (aged 18–49 years). The participants responded to the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), either by post or online.ResultsModel fitting analyses indicated that individual differences on all six subdomains of the FSFI (desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain) were primarily due to non-shared (individual-specific) environmental influences. Genetic influences were modest but significant, whereas shared environmental influences were not significant. A correlated factors model including additive and non-additive genetic and non-shared environmental effects proved to have the best fit and suggested that both correlated additive and non-additive genetic factors and unique environmental factors underlie the co-occurrence of the sexual function problems.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that female sexual dysfunctions are separate entities with some shared aetiology. They also indicate that there is a genetic susceptibility for sexual dysfunctions. The unique experiences of each individual are, however, the main factors determining if, and which, dysfunction develops.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the sexual function of Italian and Brazilian nursing students using the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), to estimate the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions and related factors. Method: this is a cross-sectional study involving 84 Brazilian and 128 Italian undergraduate. For the evaluation of sexual function, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used. Results: Italian women presented significantly higher sexual dysfunction index (n=78/60.9%) than the Brazilian women (n=32/38.1%) (p=0.00). Only the “desire” and “excitation” domains showed no difference between groups. Younger, single and without a steady relationship women had a higher rate of sexual dysfunction (p<0.05). Conclusion: the high rate of sexual dysfunction in a young public suggests the need for more research to increase knowledge about the influence of psychosocial and related factors on female sexual function, directing care towards the promotion of sexual and reproductive health.

AbstractPurposeAlthough the prevalence of sexual dysfunction after delivery is generally considered high, this has not been well examined in Hungary. The aim of our study was to evaluate female sexual function at 3-months postpartum and to investigate some of the possible predictor factors which might influence it.Materials and MethodsWe designed a cross-sectional study using online questionnaires and recruited 253 participants. Risk factors such as infant-feeding method and urinary incontinence were assessed for a potential relationship with sexual dysfunction. The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) was used to assess sexual function. We wrote our own questions about potential predictors.Results48.79% of participants reported sexual dysfunction according to total FSFI score (M = 25.16, SD = 7.00). A significant relationship was found between infant-feeding method and sexual dysfunction (P = 0.003). Sexual dysfunction was more common in exclusive-breastfeeding mothers than in mixed or formula-feeding mothers. Women with urinary incontinence had significantly lower total FSFI scores (P = 0.006), and in the arousal (P = 0.033), lubrication (P = 0.022), satisfaction (P = 0.006) and pain (P = 0.032) domains compared to women with no incontinence problem.ConclusionsWomen suffering from urinary incontinence are more likely to have sexual problems, especially a higher risk of dyspareunia and a lower level of sexual interest and wetness. Exclusive breastfeeding has a negative effect on sexual function.

Abstract:

Objectives: 1. Demonstrate the creation of a brief questionnaire to screening in clinical practice, able to diagnose female sexual dysfunction. 2. Implement a score that detects the need for referral to a specialist. Design and methods: This is a screening for FSD, with only four questions that include the variables: sexual frequency, orgasm, pain and sexual initiative, in a Likert scale. The applicability was demonstrated in a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients. They were seen in Sexology Clinic of a Public Hospital, setting a score and cut-off. Chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used; significant level (p= 0.05). Results: The score ranged from 4 to 16 points. The average of the patients before the sex therapy was 7.5 (± 2.4) points and after the sex therapy they increased for 10.9 (± 3.3); (p <0.001). The patients, who had experienced sexual violence or with primary anorgasmia, had a poorer prognosis and those with higher levels of education or good levels of orgasms, had better prognosis. The development with treatment showed a significant raise of the score. (p = 0.013). Conclusions: The instrument provided an opportunity to approach sexuality by general practitioners and FSD detection through a score. The patients had a good understanding of the issues and their demands were attended.

Abstract:

Male and female genital anatomy evolves from the same embryonic tissue. Is it therefore possible that males and females have the same potential for orgasmic response? Have forces external to a woman’s biology influenced her potential enjoyment of this bodily function, or is female orgasm a by-product of that early sameness and variable because it has no or very little functional or evolutionary benefit? In modern times, we continue to study the anatomy and physiology of female sexual responses. The journey now is to understand the similarities and differences between the male and female sexual responses and be respectful of both. Female sexual response models and the classification of female sexual dysfunctions direct the thoughts and treatments of sexual and relationship therapists. The ultimate aim is to allow each woman to have the best possible sex life and orgasm, namely the one she wants. The psychophysiological treatments for female orgasmic dysfunction are on the whole successful. However, in anorgasmia proven to be biological in aetiology, following menopause for example, physiological changes occur that cannot be resolved by these strategies alone. We need to be supportive of the pharmaceutical industry finding medication that we can appropriately and responsibly use for the good of women with sexual difficulties, because good sexuality is a very important quality of life issue for very many women.

Abstract:

In a study of 28 attenders of a sexual and marital clinic, the relationship between marital distress and both general and specific sexual dysfunctions was investigated. It was found that for men there was a much closer relationship between sexual and marital problems than for women. In particular, it was noted that the specific male sexual dysfunctions of impotence and premature ejaculation played a much larger part in marital discord than did the female dysfunctions of anorgasmia and vaginismus.

Abstract:

Female sexual dysfunction has always had challenges related to nosological issues due to inadequate research and understanding in this area. The ICD-11 has proposed substantial changes to the classification of conditions related to sexual health. In this review, we have discussed the proposed changes, compared with other classificatory systems and discussed its implications on clinical practice and research in this field. While there have been several progressive moves in the taxonomy of sexual dysfunctions, we have expressed our views on possible changes which can help with better diagnosis and management of sexual problems in women.

Abstract:

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to review the literature related to the effects of spinal cord injuries on genitourinary, gastrointestinal, and sexual function. These important areas of function are profoundly affected by spinal cord injuries, with the effects of injury being dependent on the specific level and degree of neurologic dysfunction. Our ability to manage neurogenic bladder dysfunctions and neurogenic bowel dysfunctions has improved over the past few years; however, in general the techniques used have not significantly changed. In contrast, a significant amount of new information has been made available regarding the effects of specific neurologic injuries on sexual response, particularly female sexual response. Moreover, techniques to remediate erectile dysfunction and infertility in the male have vastly improved the fertility potential of men with spinal cord injuries. Further research is warranted in all of these areas.

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide and its prevalence is expected to increase in the coming years. Therefore, updated knowledge of all diabetic complications and their management is essential for the proper treatment of these patients. Sexual dysfunctions are one of the long-term complications of DM in both genders. However, female sexuality is still a taboo and sexual concerns are often overlooked, underdiagnosed, and untreated. The aim of this review is to summarize the current knowledge on the relationship between sexual function and DM in women. In particular, we evaluated the prevalence, etiology, diagnostic approaches, and current treatment options of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in diabetic patients.

Abstract:

IntroductionThe increasing prevalence of obesity represents a major public health problem, with can effect on physical and emotional well-being and psychosocial function. Somatic and psychological dysfunctions, such as infertility, osteoarthritis, social disabilities caused by stigmatization, sleeping problems or apnea, are also known to follow obesity. Sexual dysfunction (SD) may also be related to obesity, but is rarely mentioned, and may cause concern for the affected individual and partner, constituting a great problem.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to identify the frequency of SD among obese women.MethodsOur study concerned 42 obese married women consulting in endocrinology department. Obesity was defined by body mass index (BMI) ≥30. All participants assessed a sociodemographic data and the “Female Sexual Function Index” (FSFI). FSFI is a 19-item multidimensional self-reporting measure that quantifies six domains of female sexual dysfunction (FSD), including desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. Score ≤26 indicate the presence of FSD.ResultsThe mean age was 33.6 years (20 → 47 years). The mean total score of FSFI was 22.5 (3.2 → 32.6). The percentage of SD among obese women was 68.2%. FSFI score was correlated to ancient obesity (P = 0.026; r = 0.347) and waist circumference (P = 0.007; r = 0.412). High socio-economic level was correlated to desire and satisfaction (P = 0.021 and P = 0.048 respectively). Women with high educational level have better blurbification (P = 0.005). FSFI score was not correlated to BMI or obesity class.ConclusionAlmost two-thirds of obese women have sexual dysfunctions. Women with ancient obesity and higher waist circumference seemed to have better sexual functions.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

Overview Objective: An overview of urinary incontinence and the associated quality of life in women, including sexuality. Methods: Compilation of published data from scientific literature. Conclusion: Urinary incontinence and female sexual dysfunction are common problems that adversely affect a woman’s quality of life. Their cause is often multifactorial. Both of these dysfunctions are common in women, but are often not reported by them and, subsequently, not treated. The symptoms of urinary incontinence, shame and fear can lead to complete social isolation of a woman affected in this way. There are a lot of studies suggesting that coping with a urination problem can subsequently improve a woman’s sexual function and overall quality of life. The prevalence increases significantly with the age. Keywords: female sexual dysfunction – urinary incontinence – Quality of life – women

Abstract:

Background: the aim of this study was to perform an Italian telematics survey analysis on the changes in couples’ sex lives during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown. Methods: a multicenter cross sectional study was conducted on people sexually active and in stable relationships for at least 6 months. To evaluate male and female sexual dysfunctions, we used the international index of erectile function (IIEF-15) and the female sexual function index (FSFI), respectively; marital quality and stability were evaluated by the marital adjustment test (items 10–15); to evaluate the severity of anxiety symptoms, we used the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. The effects of the quarantine on couples’ relationships was assessed with questions created in-house. Results: we included 2149 participants. The sex lives improved for 49% of participants, particularly those in cohabitation; for 29% it deteriorated, while for 22% of participants it did not change. Women who responded that their sex lives deteriorated had no sexual dysfunction, but they had anxiety, tension, fear, and insomnia. Contrarily, men who reported deteriorating sex lives had erectile dysfunctions and orgasmic disorders. In both genders, being unemployed or smart working, or having sons were risk factors for worsening the couples’ sex lives. Conclusion: this study should encourage evaluation of the long-term effects of COVID-19 on the sex lives of couples.

Abstract:

Talks regarding sexual problems are not encouraging in Bangladesh and sufferers are in grave situation as they are not sure regarding whom to approach and how to start. It was aimed to see the presenting patterns of female sexual dysfunctions (FSD) and co-morbidities among the patients attending at different outpatient departments (OPD) at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU). This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among 173 female patients attending at gynecology, endocrinology and psychiatry OPD, BSMMU. Sample was taken by convenient sampling within the period of October 2015 to December 2016. Data were collected through face-to-face interview with Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire. The results showed that, most (95.95%) of the patients were in the reproductive age group. Majority of the patients (32.95%) were in 26-30 years age group and 24.85% were in 18-25 years age group. Majority (77.5%) belonged to home maker occupational class where 12.7% was service-holder. Fifty six percent of the respondents were found to have sexual dysfunctions and 38.15% patients had endocrinological co-morbidities, 37.57% had gynecological co- morbidities and 33.53% had psychiatric co-morbidities. Positive openness in sexual health is required for the betterment of both treatment and diagnosis of sexual disorders. Specialized service center focusing the different groups is needed to deal with sexual health in a developing country like Bangladesh. Bang J Psychiatry December 2016; 30(2): 27-31

Abstract:

Objective: Sexual dysfunction is an important public health concern. Sexual dysfunctions, characterized by disturbances in sexual desire, arousal, erection, orgasm or sexual satisfaction have been reported in different research around the world. Prevalence range of disturbances is from 20% to 30% and 40% to 45% for men and women respectively. The aim of this study was to explore prevalence of sexual dysfunction in a Colombian male and female sample. Design and Method: Sample was composed by a non-representative national sample of 1366 women and 1410 men, aged from 18 to 73. To assess sexual dysfunction the Colombian version of the Massachusetts General Hospital- Sexual Functioning Questionnaire (MGH-SFQ) was used. Results: Results indicate on one hand that sexual dysfunction is more prevalent in women (42.5%) than men (32.1 %). On the other hand, in women, problems related to desire (28.5%) were more common, while in men those related to desire and sexual satisfaction, 21.4% and 21% respectively, were more prevalent. In women, problems related to desire (28.5%) were more common, while in men those related to desire and sexual satisfaction 21.4% and 21%, respectively were more prevalent. Furthermore, no evidence was found about the relationship between the sociodemographic characteristic (socioeconomic level, years of education and religion) and the sexual dysfunction; with exception of age. These results are similar to those observed in other cultures. Conclusions: This study shows the importance of epidemiologic research in male and female sexual dysfunction for the identification of risk factors.

Abstract:

Objective: Female sexual dysfunctions (FSDs; difficulties related to sexual desire, arousal, orgasm, and pain) are prevalent and associated with both relationship quality and overall wellbeing. Psychobehavioral interventions are widely used to treat FSDs; however, little is known about the effectiveness of these interventions. Our objective was to conduct a meta-analysis on existing randomized clinical trials of psychobehavioral treatment interventions for FSDs. Design and Method: We used the electronic databases PubMed and PsycINFO in the search of relevant studies. One researcher conducted the literature search in June 2015. The search yielded 1235 hits in PubMed and 789 hits in PsycINFO. Abstract and/or title analysis reduced the possibly relevant studies to 104. A review of the reference lists in these studies was subsequently carried out. Data of interest were coded by one researcher. In order to evaluate the accuracy of the coding, an interrater reliability test was carried out on a randomly selected part of the data. Before analyzing, another search was carried out in order to find studies published after the original literature search. Results: We calculated effect sizes expressing the difference between treatment and control group scores. At present, data analyses are still in progress. Conclusions: This is, to our knowledge, the first meta-analysis of psychobehavioral treatment for FSDs that includes more recent studies, published after 2009.
