Aim. Sexual function plays an important role in normal human life, along with sleep and food. As it is behind the main human motivations and can manifest itself in any phase of sexual activity or at any time of sexual life, the sexual function is considered as an important factor in determining the quality of life in adults. Here we aimed to estimate the influence of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the sexual function of women.Materials and Methods. Our study enrolled 364 women (17-59 years of age) who admitted to the gynecological units of Kemerovo (Russia). A Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire was used to assess the clinical manifestations of sexual dysfunctions. The key FSFI indicators include desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, and satisfaction before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of sexual contacts, the age of the partner, the duration of the relationship and cohabitation, and the assumption to have sexual dysfunction.Results. The sample was divided into 6 age groups: < 17 years (n = 2), 18-29 years (n = 121), 30-39 years (n = 136), 40-49 years (n = 80), 50- 59 years (n = 25), and ≥ 60 years of age (n = 0). All examined parameters of sexual dysfunction have been impacted by the pandemic. In particular, we documented the reduced sexual arousal, lubrication, and satisfaction as well as increased pain during the sexual intercourse. Risk factors for the development of female sexual dysfunction were age of the sexual partner, the duration of the relationship, the frequency of sexual intercourse, and baseline psychological state.Conclusion. COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with the considerable impairment of the female sexual function.

“…Пневмония регистрируется у 28,4 %, однако течение инфекции у беременных в целом более легкое, чем в общей популяции больных: тяжелая форма НКИ диагностирована у 3,6 % женщин, в отделение реанимации госпитализированы 1,9 % пациенток, необходимость в ИВЛ была у 0,6 % женщин. Случаев материнской и перинатальной смертности на момент публикации зарегистрировано не было, однако окончательно сделать вывод о влиянии НКИ COVID-19 на течение беременности можно будет только после завершения пандемии [20,21].…”

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.
