A total of 66 female participants aged 18 years or older, married, and actively engaging in sexual activities were included. Patients with pre-existing psychiatric or neurological disorders, previous diagnoses of sexual dysfunction, or those who refused to provide consent were excluded. The primary assessment tool was the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), which measures domains such as sexual desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction, and pain. FSFI scores were collected both preoperatively and one month postoperatively. Other clinical parameters included age, BMI, educational level, and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The mean age of the participants was 49.5 ± 4.4 years, and the average BMI was 24.0 ± 5.6 kg/m².

Lubrication scores increased from 2.8 ± 1.2 to 3.2 ± 1.1 (p < 0.001), while orgasm scores improved from 1.7 ± 1.4 to 2.3 ± 1.4 (p < 0.001).
