Sexual Dysfunction Likely in Women with Genital Pain
Almost half the women with genital pain could meet the diagnostic criteria for sexual dysfunction, according to a recent Journal of Sexual Medicine report.
The study involved 967 sexually active women between the ages of 18 and 40. About a third of the women reported genital pain.
Women with genital pain tended to have poorer sexual function and more sexual distress than women without genital pain.
In addition, almost half of the women were considered to have sexual dysfunction based on their Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) scores.
