Abstract

Sexual health is an important part of the quality of life of women and is defined by the World Health Organization as “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality. The aim of this study was to assess sexual function in women with vulvovaginal candidosis in comparison with women without lower genital tract dysfunction. The study was performed on 200 married women, who attended the outpatient clinics in Benha University Hospital during the period from January to May, 2020. Regarding the demographic data, 40% and 58% of infected and control groups respectively, belonged to the age group of 30-39 years old, 37% and 72% of the same groups had secondary school and university degree educational level. The majority of both groups were living in the rural areas. VVC was associated with lower sexual desire, decreased lubrication, less frequency of reaching orgasm and low satisfaction of sexual life.Sexual health is an important part of the quality of life of women and is defined by the World Health Organization as “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being related to sexuality.
