dc.description.abstractPurpose of Investigation: The authors aimed to determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) among Turkish dyspareunic women and to establish the associated factors with FSD. Furthermore, they aimed to investigate if dyspareunia and possible ssociated sexual complaints were related to impaired quality of life (QoL). Materials and Methods: The study included 154 women admitted to the present gynecology department at a tertiary center in the west region of Turkey, 67 of which suffered from dyspareunia. The remaining 87 sexually healthy women were included in the control group. FSD was assessed with 19-item validated female sexual function index (FSFI). QoL was assessed using short form 36 (SF-36). The chi-squared test and t-test were used for analysing the group differences. Pearson's correlation test was used to determine the effect of the variables of FSFI on the SF-36. Multivariate analysis and logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for FSD and to estimate odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: The incidence of FSD in dyspareunic group and control group was 86.57% and 36.8%, respectively (p < 0.001). Dyspareunic women had lower scores with regards to sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain domains at significant level (p < 0.001). Education level, time period after the last delivery, duration of marriage, parity, and dyspareunia were significantly related to FSD. However, dyspareunia was an independent risk factor for FSD (OR 11.49; 95% CI 4.95-26.67). Regarding the impact on the QoL, dyspareunic women had lower scores with regards to the physical role, social function, bodily pain, and vitality domains. Conclusion: The present results show that dyspareunia has a major impact on women's sexual ftinction and QoL. Clinicians have an important role for encouraging women to report their sexual complaints. Identifying dyspareunia and treating FSD may positively affect women's sexual function and overall QoL.
