The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of menopause on sexual function in women and their spouses.
This is a cross-sectional study that was conducted from January 2018 to May 2019 in Rasht (North of Iran). The participants included 215 menopausal women and their spouses. Data were collected using the demographic questionnaire, the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) questionnaire, and the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) questionnaire.
On the basis of the FSFI and IIEF scores, 36.28% (78/215) women reported female sexual dysfunction (FSD) and 17.2% (37/215) men reported erectile dysfunction (ED) with 8.37% (N = 18) being mild, 5.58% (N = 12) mild to moderate, and 3.25% (N = 7) moderate ED. After adjusting differences in the female age distribution, the total score and scores of the IIEF subscales were also not significantly lower in the spouses of women with FSD than women without FSD.
Although, significant correlations between male erectile function and menopausal female sexual function have not identified; but, low scores of the subscales of FSFI in female participants mostly impaired sexual satisfaction and overall satisfaction in their spouses.
本研究旨在评估绝经对女性及其配偶性功能的影响。
这是一项于2018年1月至2019年5月在伊朗北部拉什特进行的横断面研究。参与者包括215名绝经后女性及其配偶。使用人口统计学问卷、女性性功能指数（FSFI）问卷和国际勃起功能指数（IIEF）问卷收集数据。
根据FSFI和IIEF评分，36.28%（78/215）的女性报告有女性性功能障碍（FSD），17.2%（37/215）的男性报告有勃起功能障碍（ED），其中8.37%（N = 18）为轻度，5.58%（N = 12）为轻度至中度，3.25%（N = 7）为中度ED。在调整女性年龄分布差异后，FSD女性配偶的IIEF总分及各分量表得分也未显著低于无FSD女性的配偶。
虽然未发现男性勃起功能与绝经后女性性功能之间存在显著相关性；但是，女性参与者FSFI各分量表得分较低主要损害了其配偶的性满意度和总体满意度。
