| dc.description.abstract | Objective: To compare the sexual functions in women with labia minora hypertrophy and age matched healthy controls. Material and method: 43 patients with labia minora hypertrophy and 30 age-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the present study. The sexual functions of the women were evaluated by using the index of female sexual function (IFSF). Results: Mean ages of the patients and controls were 30.06 +/- 7.11 and 31.34 +/- 4.12 (p = 0.41), respectively. Mean total IFSF scores of the patients and controls were 24.18 +/- 3.24 and 27.53 +/- 4.43 (p < 0.05), respectively. The subscale scores of IFSF-lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain in the patient group were significantly lower than in the control group (respectively, p < 0.001, p < 0.05, p < 0.001 and p < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between IFSF-arousal scores of the patient and control groups (p = 0.30). The mean IFSF-desire scores of the patient group was higher than the controls (p < 0.001). Labia minora hypertrophy was significantly associated with female sexual dysfunction (odds ratio [OR] = 14.97, 95% confidence interval [Cl] = [3.66-61.21], p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study suggests that patients with labia minora hypertrophy have poorer lubrication, satisfaction, pain, and orgasm scores on the IFSF scale compared to age-matched healthy controls.
