Assessment of sexual function is a complex process, especially in women, which requires in any individual case: time, appropriate training and experience. The prevalence of female sexual dysfunction is quite variable depending on the studied population, assessment methods, comorbid conditions and treatments, and age. A large number of screening methods have been developed over the last decades which range from tedious, exhaustive and boring tools to very simple standardized questionnaires. The 19-item female sexual function index (FSFI-19) is among the most used and useful- instrument designed to assess female sexual function in all types of circumstances, sexual orientation and perform the comparison of transcultural factors. A short 6-item- version of the FSFI-19 has been developed to provide a quick general approach to the six original domains (one item per domain). Nevertheless, further studies are needed to demonstrate its validity in different clinical situations as it has been extensively demonstrated with the original tool.
性功能评估是一个复杂的过程，尤其是对女性而言，在任何个体案例中都需要：时间、适当的培训和经验。女性性功能障碍的患病率因研究人群、评估方法、合并症和治疗以及年龄的不同而有很大差异。在过去几十年中，已经开发出大量的筛查方法，从繁琐、详尽且乏味的工具到非常简单的标准化问卷。19项女性性功能指数（FSFI - 19）是最常用且有用的工具之一，旨在评估各种情况下、不同性取向的女性性功能，并进行跨文化因素的比较。FSFI - 19的一个简短的6项版本已被开发出来，以便对六个原始领域（每个领域一项）提供一种快速的总体评估方法。然而，由于原始工具已得到广泛验证，因此需要进一步研究以证明其在不同临床情况下的有效性。
