The women sexual dysfunction and the factors influencing it have not yet been fully investigated. Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate sexual dysfunction and its associated factors among women in childbearing age, Egypt. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey involving 780 non-pregnant sexual active females aged 15-51 years old who were recruited into the study by random sampling. The study population was selected from health facilities which affiliated to the ministry of health in Damietta Governorate. Interview tools used to collect data related to female and male partner. Results: A total of 780 women in childbearing age were enrolled. More than half of the studied women have sexual dysfunction versus 46.9% without sexual function. 22.3% of sexual dysfunction women have mild dysfunction, 18.5% of them have moderate dysfunction, and 12.3% have severe dysfunction. Desire disorder was the most common sexual disorder among participants (67.3%), followed by arousal disorder (55.8%). There was a statistically significant correlation between female sexual dysfunction and husband's age, educational level and husbands suffer from depression, heavy smokers and hypnotic drugs used. Female sexual dysfunction was found among older age, low educated and non-workers females, as well as women, suffer chronic disease, genital inflammation, and stress.

“…In current studies, the reason for positive correlation between SD and UI was indicated as the effect of UI on life quality, especially it posed a barrier on satisfaction of women, having coital incontinence, with sexual life. The correlation between SD and UI was reported to develop as a result of extremely active bladder, UI, and pelvic prolapse, in addition to hormone deficiencies that affect pelvic organs 41 .…”

Objectives: This is a cross sectional study conducted in order to determine sexual dysfunction in healthy women and risk factors.Patients and methods: The population of the study consisted of 282 women. The whole of the population, without sample selection, was included in the study. For data, questionnaire and Female Sexual Function Index-FSFI, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted, were used. Student t and chi-square significant tests and logistic regression analysis were used to carry out statistical analysis.Results: It was found that 35.8% of 282 women who participated in the study were in the age range of 30-39 years, 54.6% had high school educational level or above, and 59.6% worked. Prevalence was determined as 53.2% FSFI score < 26 according to Female Sexual Function Index FSFI; 23% of the women had complaints about urinary incontinence UI. According to logistic regression results, it is determined that CFB risk is increased in patients with age and urination problem. It was determined that there was no significant correlation between income, number of children, prceived economic status, dyspareunia, having problem with the partner, experiencing premenstrual syndrome, and SD. Conclusion: In this study, approximately half of healthy women had SD and development of SD was affected based on some descriptive characteristics. As sexual life was considered as a factor increasing life quality, it was thought that it is fairly important to discuss the questioning of problems related to sexual life for systematic evaluation of patients, as well.Keywords: SD, risk factors, prevalence, Turkey.

Introduction: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common health problem that is inadequately investigated in Saudi Arabia. Aim: To assess the prevalence and predictors of FSD in a sample of Saudi women attending the primary care and gynecology clinics. Methods: A cross-sectional clinic-based survey involved Saudi women attending primary care and gynecology clinics in a teaching hospital in Riyadh during the period from January to June 2019. Data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire. Female sexual function has been evaluated by the Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index. Main outcome measures: The main outcome measure of this study was female sexual function using the Arabic version of the Female Sexual Function Index. Results: 200 Saudi women were included in this study. Their age ranged from 18 to 50 years. Most of the participants (88.5%) were fairly satisfied or satisfied with their spouse's sexual ability and 120 (60%) had a risk of FSD. Participants with FSD reported the lowest scores for arousal and desire domains (3.03 ± 1.3 and 3.12 ± 1.1, respectively) followed by orgasm domain (3.48 ± 1.4). Predictive factors for risk of FSD in our participants were age greater than 40 years (P ¼ .012), unemployment (P ¼ .035), low/moderate family income (P ¼ .014), dissatisfaction with the spouse's sexual ability (P ¼ .005), and higher weight (P ¼ .010) and height (P ¼ .043). Only age greater than 40 years (P ¼ .041), low family income (P ¼ .007), and dissatisfaction with spouse's sexual ability (P ¼ .011) sustained independent significance in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. Conclusion: A high prevalence of FSD was encountered in our sample of Saudi women. Desire and arousal were the most significantly affected domains followed by orgasmic problems. Age greater than 40 years, low socioeconomic level, and dissatisfaction with the spouse's sexual ability are the most significant predictors. Madbouly K, Al-Anazi M, Al-Anazi H, et al.
