Subfertile women were placed in group A, while group B had normal women. Data was collected using the translated version of the Female Sexual Functional Index Score, limited to only 6 of the total 19 questions (Nos 2, 4, 7, 11, 16 and 17) to assess the female sexual dysfunction covering all the six domains of desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain. The total score ranged 2-30, with lower scores indicating worse sexual function. The cutoff point was 19, with <19 considered an indication of sexual dysfunction. Data was analysed using SPSS 23.Results: Of the 276 patients, 138(50%) were in each of the two groups. The overall mean age was 31.5±4.1 years. Mean score was 19±3.4. There was a significant difference in the scores between groups A 17.53±2.98 and B 20.4±3.26 (p<0.001). Patients with polycystic ovary syndrome had a higher mean score of 18.47±2.4, while those with endometriosis had mean score 15.91±3.4.Conclusions: The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the subfertile group was noted. The translated modified version of the Female Sexual Functional Index Score was found to be a valid tool with moderate reliability for the assessment of sexual dysfunction in Pakistani women.","PeriodicalId":54369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association","volume":"75 7","pages":"1077-1081"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Disabling health conditions can impact sexual function, identity, self-esteem and self-image, fertility and pregnancy. People can experience primary impairments such as a loss of sensibility or erectile dysfunction, but also consequences of secondary impairments like incontinence, pain, fatigue, or spasticity. Moreover, limitations of activities and participation restrictions can impact intimacy, sexuality and reproduction. Therefore, sexual issues should be an integral part of quality rehabilitation care. Components of a sexual rehabilitation programme are information/education of patient (and partner), practical advice, finding new positions, medication, using assistive devices and aids (like vibrator, sex toys, lubricating gel, massage oil), pelvic floor training, coping strategies and addressing self-image and self-esteem. People should be encouraged to explore their changed bodies and experiment. Sexual rehabilitation requires a personalized biopsychosocial and integrative approach by the entire multiprofessional team, including peer counsellors.","PeriodicalId":54369,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association","volume":"75 7","pages":"1153-1155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144769349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
