| Popis: | Introduction Fibromyalgia may have negative effects on sexual function in women. Aims To evaluate the sexuality of women with fibromyalgia and healthy control subjects, and to investigate the relation between sexuality and clinical parameters of fibromyalgia. Main Outcome Measures Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), Tender Points Count (TPC), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Methods Clinical evaluation and surveys were done with 126 women with fibromyalgia and 132 healthy women. Results Patients with fibromyalgia had higher BDI scores and lower frequency of sexual intercourse than control subjects. The mean FSFI scores (total and all domains) were significantly lower in patients with fibromyalgia than control subjects. Mean FSFI scores (total and most domains) were significantly lower in patients with fibromyalgia who had BDI score ≥ 17 than those who had BDI score Conclusions Fibromyalgia has negative effects on female sexual function that are aggravated by depression.
