No association was found between PFSF and age or bowel function (Bowel Function Score), however, a strong correlation was found between PFSF and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) with a Spearman correlation of ρ 0.82 (p = 0.0011). The general satisfaction question was strongly associated with their total PFSF score (ρ = 0.71, p = 0.0092). Except for the \"desire\" item, the females in this cohort did not have significantly worse sexual function than the control population(p = 0.015). Ten of fourteen (71.4%) females had had their sexual debut at a mean age of 16.3 years and two of these women (20%) have been pregnant. All females had had menarche at a mean age of 12.7 years.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Sexual function in adult females was comparable to healthy controls except for the \"desire\" item where the cohort reported poorer outcomes. The cohort's sexual function had a direct association with their reported HRQoL where individuals with worse HRQoL also reported poorer sexual function.</p><p><strong>Level of evidence: </strong>III.</p>","PeriodicalId":19832,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Surgery International","volume":"40 1","pages":"269"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11467109/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142400935","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
