Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to investigate the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) compared to women with other types of infertility.
- Results showed that FSD was more common in the PCOS group, especially among those with lower education levels, although no significant difference in overall FSD rates was found between the two groups.
- The findings suggest that education may play a role in the sexual health of women with PCOS, while the duration of infertility was notably linked to FSD in the comparison group.
