Research has shown that infertility and its medical investigation are stressful for couples and have adverse effects on sexual functioning. The purpose of this study was to examine how female sexual functioning could influence aspects of the reproductive process. This question was examined within the context of the postcoital test (PCT) routinely performed during the infertility investigation. The sample consisted of 85 women with a mean age of 30 years (SD = 3.8 years) and a mean infertile period of 2.5 years (SD = 1.1 years). Prior to the physiological examination, women completed a battery of questionnaires about their sexual functioning during the scheduled encounter engaged in for purposes of the PCT and during other nonscheduled encounters. The results indicated that the PCT contributed to deterioration in female sexual functioning, and in turn, a poor sexual response was associated with poorer physiological results. The implications of sexual behavior influencing physiohormonal reproductive factors are discussed.
研究表明，不孕症及其医学检查会给夫妻带来压力，并对性功能产生不利影响。本研究的目的是探讨女性性功能如何影响生殖过程的各个方面。这一问题是在不孕症检查期间常规进行的性交后试验（PCT）的背景下进行研究的。样本包括85名女性，平均年龄为30岁（标准差=3.8岁），平均不孕时间为2.5年（标准差=1.1年）。在进行生理检查之前，女性完成了一系列问卷，内容涉及她们在为PCT安排的性交期间以及其他非安排性交期间的性功能。结果表明，PCT导致女性性功能恶化，反过来，较差的性反应与较差的生理检查结果相关。本文讨论了性行为对生理激素生殖因素的影响。
