Abstract
Objectives
This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in healthy women and to investigate the related demographic factors.
Methods
Studies that were conducted in Turkey were included in the analysis.
Results
The prevalence of FSD, arousal, desire, pain/vaginismus, satisfaction, lubrication, and orgasm disorders were 39.65, 31, 31.3, 17.6, 23.8, 22.7, and 18.7%, respectively. Crude divorce rate (β= −0.478, p = 0.004), crude marriage rate (β= −0.180, p = 0.037), and age difference between partners (β = 1.08, p = 0.001) had a significant effect on the outcomes.
Conclusions
The prevalence of FSD in Turkey is similar to its prevalence in other countries.
