Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), announced as a pandemic by the World Health Organization, recently has dominated people's lifestyle. The impact of COVID-19 seems to be relevant to the sexual health as well.
This prospective study was conducted on two occasions involving 764 female patients between March and April 2020-before and during the time of social quarantine. The sexual function was assessed using the Polish version of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). Every patient filled out the survey concerning socio-demographic characteristics as well as the influence of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on their lives.
The overall FSFI score before the pandemic was 30.1 ± 4.4 and changed to 25.8 ± 9.7 during it. Scores of every domain: desire, arousal, lubrication, orgasm, satisfaction and pain decreased as well ( < 0.001). There was statistically significant association between the workplace and the change of FSFI scores before and during COVID-19 pandemic ( < 0.01). We noticed the biggest decrease in FSFI score in the group of women who did not work at all (5.2 ± 9.9). Religion had a statistically important impact on level of anxiety ( < 0.01).
The main finding of our study was the influence of COVID-19 pandemic on the quality of sexual lifestyle and frequency of intercourse among Polish women.
世界卫生组织宣布的冠状病毒病（COVID-19）最近已成为主导人们生活方式的大流行病。COVID-19 的影响似乎与性健康也有关。
这项前瞻性研究在 2020 年 3 月至 4 月期间分两次进行，涉及 764 名女性患者，在社会隔离之前和期间进行。使用波兰版女性性功能指数（FSFI）评估性功能。每位患者都填写了一份关于社会人口统计学特征以及 SARS-CoV-2 大流行对其生活影响的调查问卷。
大流行前的总体 FSFI 评分为 30.1 ± 4.4，在大流行期间变为 25.8 ± 9.7。每个领域的评分：欲望、唤起、润滑、高潮、满意度和疼痛都有所下降（<0.001）。在大流行前和大流行期间，工作场所与 FSFI 评分的变化之间存在统计学显著关联（<0.01）。我们注意到完全不工作的女性组中 FSFI 评分下降幅度最大（5.2 ± 9.9）。宗教对焦虑水平有统计学上的重要影响（<0.01）。
我们研究的主要发现是 COVID-19 大流行对波兰女性的性生活质量和性交频率的影响。
