Sexual Dysfunction in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Abstract

Aim: One of the serious endocrinological disturbances which affects 5 to 10% of women in the age of reproduction leading to obesity, disturbed glucose tolerance, irregular menstrual cycle, infertility and hirsutism is Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This study aimed to investigate Sexual Dysfunction in Women with PCOS. Materials and Method: A prospective cross-sectional case-control study was done. The subdomain sexual function scores and the mean Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) total scores between controls and the women with PCOS. And the subdomain sexual function scores and the mean FSFI total scores between women with PCOS stratified by BMI. Results: The mean age in two case and control group was 34.35 ± 4.16 and 34.80 ± 4.36 years. Also, the mean duration of marriage in two case and control group was 5.00 ± 2.18 and 5.76 ± 2.20. The mean BMI in two case and control group was 24.88 ± 2.23 and 24.77 ± 2.01. The difference between the groups with all FSFI subdomains, the only difference between the two groups in lubrication was significant (3.08 vs. 3.60, p-value=0.029). Results showed that a significant difference was found among the BMI groups (Normal, Overweight and Obese) in arousal and desire (P=0.045 and P=0.050, respectively). Conclusion: PCOS has no effect on sexual dysfunction of women. Even the sexual function of women with PCOS has been reported to be higher in lubrication. BMI also has no effect on the relationship between PCOS and sexual dysfunction.
