Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study, titled SexOPK, aims to evaluate the impact of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) on women's sexual health. PCOS is a common endocrine disorder affecting 5-20% of women of reproductive age, often leading to hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, and psychological distress. Despite existing studies on the subject, the level of sexual distress associated with PCOS-related sexual dysfunction remains unclear. The study will compare sexual function and distress levels between women diagnosed with PCOS and a control group without PCOS. Participants will complete an online questionnaire assessing various aspects of sexual health, body image, anxiety, and depression. The findings may help healthcare professionals better understand and address sexual dysfunction in women with PCOS.

- description
- The Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women (BISF-W) is a validated questionnaire that assesses various aspects of female sexual function, including desire, arousal, frequency of sexual activity, receptivity, orgasm, satisfaction, and concerns affecting sexuality. It consists of 22 items, generating a composite score that reflects overall sexual well-being. Higher BISF-W scores indicate better sexual function, while lower scores suggest sexual dysfunction or distress.
