It can have disastrous effects on mental well-being, sense of worth, social acceptance, and interpersonal relationships, as well as cause marital problems. Sexual dysfunction refers to pain during sexual intercourse or disturbances in one or more phases of the sexual response cycle, and is a concern in family life. Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and other sexual problems have been associated with a diminished quality of life, low physical and emotional satisfaction, and reduced general happiness. The World Health Organization defines sexual health as physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being related to sexuality rather than the absence of dysfunction or disease.

A prevalence of 40.2% for female sexual dysfunction was observed in the study population. Using receiver operating characteristic curves, a clinical cutoff for the Female Sexual Function Index score of 23.1 was determined to identify female sexual dysfunction (area under the curve, 0.76 95% confidence interval, 0.71–0.80 sensitivity, 75.6% specificity, 67.7% positive predictive value, 77.7% negative predictive value, 65%). Female sexual function was determined by screening of the total Female Sexual Function Index score, whereas female sexual dysfunction was evaluated using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision criteria.
