“…La mayor prevalencia de DSF, se presentó en mujeres hindúes, debido posiblemente a la cultura y a la imposibilidad que tiene la mujer para tener acceso a una evaluación acerca de su sexualidad (15). Infortunadamente, el cuestionario FSFI no fue validado en esta población, lo que podría llevar a un posible sesgo de información de los resultados obtenidos.…”

RESUMENAntecedentes: La disfunción sexual femenina (DSF) se define como un trastorno en el deseo, excitación, orgasmo y/o dolor durante la relación sexual, que genera estrés personal y tiene impacto en la calidad de vida. Objetivo: Analizar datos epidemiológicos sobre prevalencia y factores de riesgo de DSF que permita disponer de un conocimiento unificado sobre estos. Métodos: Se revisaron bases de datos: PubMed y LILACS, entre el 01/01/2004 al 12/10/2014. Se incluyeron estudios de corte transversal que garantizaran los datos de prevalencia y de frecuencia de factores de riesgo. Se evaluó la calidad metodológica utilizando los criterios del STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology); se publicaron los resultados en tablas, reportando prevalencia y factores de riesgo con sus respectivos OR. Resultados: Se incluyeron quince artículos, todos cumplieron con más del 70% de los ítems evaluados por el STROBE. La prevalencia de DSF se encontró entre 5,5 -73,2%. El dominio más afectado fue el deseo, con prevalencias entre 10,4% -52%. Al combinar los datos las variables asociadas a la presencia de DSF fueron: baja frecuencia de relaciones, edad >40 años, bajo nivel educativo, posmenopausia, pareja con disfunción eréctil, entre otros. Conclusión: La DSF posee una alta prevalencia a nivel mundial; la presencia de los múltiples factores de riesgo que presentan las mujeres son motivo de estudio exhaustivo. Un mejor entendimiento de la epidemiologia es vital para planear estrategias de prevención y esquemas de tratamientos efectivos. PALABRAS CLAVES: Disfunción sexual femenina SUMMARYBackground: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is defined as a disorder in desire, arousal, orgasm and / or pain during intercourse, which generates personal stress and impacts the quality of life. Aims: The objective of this review is to analyze epidemiological data on prevalence and risk factors of FSD to provide a unified knowledge. Method: Databases such as PubMed and LILACS were reviewed, from January first of 2004 to October twelve of 2014; cross-sectional studies that ensured information about prevalence and frequency of risk factors were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the criteria of the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology); the results were published in tables, reporting prevalence and risk factors with their respective OR. Results: Fifteen items were included, all met over 70% of the items evaluated by the STROBE. The prevalence of FSD was found between 5.5 to 73.2%. The most affected domain was the desire with a prevalence between 10.4% -52%. The variables associated with the presence of FSD were: low frequency of intercourse, age> 40 years, low education level, menopause, couples with erectile dysfunction (ED), among others. Conclusion: The FSD has a high

The Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI): Translation, Validation, and Cross-Cultural Adaptation of an Urdu Version “FSFI–U”

et al. 2015

IntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common problem, and many self‐report questionnaires are available for its evaluation. Pakistani women with sexual problems feel shy to consult with their physician. A validated self‐report questionnaire, in the local language with modest expressions is required for these women.AimThe aim of this study was to translate, cross‐culturally adapt, and perform a psychometric validation of an Urdu translation of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).MethodsThe FSFI was translated in Urdu, and its precision was ascertained through reverse translation. It was pretested on 22 bilingual women and refined again to reach at a reliable Urdu version of the questionnaire FSFI‐U. One hundred sixteen bilingual women, in a stable sexual relationship over the previous 6 months were finally asked to fill out the FSFI and FSFI‐U. Their sexual function was then clinically evaluated and responses were compared with the clinical assessment as well as with each other.Main Outcome MeasuresThe responses were analyzed through descriptive statistics for reliability, face validity, agreement between the responses to the original English version and to the FSFI‐U, and also for test–retest consistency. The data were analyzed statistically using Cronbach's alpha analysis, Intraclass correlation coefficients, Pearson correlation, and Student's t‐test.Results FSFI was found to be easily understandable and capable of adequately evaluating and measuring various aspects of female sexual function. A high degree of internal consistency was demonstrated on Cronbach's alpha analysis. Cronbach's α coefficient for various domains was sufficiently high ranging from 0.84 to 0.97. The clinical assessment of the presence and severity of FSD also matched with the self‐report questionnaire. Similarly, various domains of FSFI had high degree of correlation in the Urdu version of FSFI (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe Urdu translation version of FSFI is valid and reliable for use in the literate population of Pakistan.

“…There is a dearth of information about female sexual dysfunctions in India. The FSFI score used to study this dysfunction has to be individualised as it is standardized in west so reports very high score when applied on Indian population (26,27,28) . In study of our country we have to take into account our cultures, social structure and status of women here and give due consideration to these factors.…”
