Author(s): Mustafa,A. I.,El Esawy,F. M.,& Fawzy,I.
FGM/C Type(s): All
Health area of focus: None.
Objective: We aimed at being the first to assess the prevalence and possible risk factors of FSD among a sample of married Egyptian women from the Nile Delta region in Egypt
Study Population: The present cross-sectional descriptive study of 5,600 married sexually active females (18–59years old) attending Dermatology and Andrology outpatient clinic and the family planning clinic in Benha University Hospitals and/or their relatives coming with them
Findings: 45.6% of studied participants were suffering from sexual dysfunction versus 54.6 who had normal sexual functioning. Logistic regression analysis was conducted for prediction of factors associated with sexual dysfunction using age,duration of marriage,education level,residence,and female genital mutilation as covariates. Older age,longer duration of the marriage,lower educational level,female genital mutilation,older male partner age,male erection,and ejaculation problems were associated with sexual dysfunction in univariable and multivariable analyses,respectively. Conclusions: The current study is one of the first attempts to evaluate the prevalence of FSD among married women from the Nile Delta of Egypt. It was revealed that FSD was highly prevalent among studied participants. Combined female participant and male partner factors were significantly associated with the high prevalence of this problem
