Along with sleep and meal, sexual function is one of the main human motivations and its impairment can drastically reduce the quality of life in women. This condition is often overlooked and untreated. The prevalence of sexual dysfunction in the female population of different countries ranges from 25 to 63%, being particularly high in Siberia (55.9-69.4%) and southern Russia (45.5%). The most significant risk factors of sexual dysfunction in Russian women are age, stress and menopause. Current data on the impact of the COVID-19 on women's sexual function are limited and contradictory. Here we discuss how COVID-19 pandemic, associated with significant changes in the lifestyle, self-isolation and reduction of income, affected reproductive and sexual health of women in various countries. Generally, sexual activity of women reduced by around 40%, and most studies showed a decrease in libido and sexual arousal. COVID-associated sexual dysfunction also had its features across different populations and social groups. However, none investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sexual health of the female population in the Russian Federation.
