However, our results show that FSD is quite common in premenopausal women, particularly those between the ages of 18 and 39 years.…”

ObjectivesThe study's main objective was to describe the prevalence and severity of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) amongst a group of Ghanaian women in the outpatient setting of the predominantly rural Volta region of Ghana. Additionally we determine the predictors of FSD severity and care seeking behaviors of women with the condition. OPEN ACCESSCitation: Ibine B, Sefakor Ametepe L, Okere M, Anto-Ocrah M (2020) "I did not know it was a medical condition": Predictors, severity and help seeking behaviors of women with female sexual dysfunction in the Volta region of Ghana. PLoS ONE 15(1): e0226404. https://doi.org/10. ResultsFSD Prevalence: Out of 407 women approached, 300 (83.8%) agreed and consented to participate in the study. The prevalence of FSD was 48.3% (n = 145). Compared to those without FSD, over a third of the FSD women resided in rural settings (37.90% vs 20.60%; p = 0.001) and tended to be multiparous, with a significantly greater proportion having at least three children (31.70% vs 18.10%; p = 0.033).FSD Severity: Over a quarter of the sample (27.6%, n = 40) met the cut-off for moderate to severe FSD. In age-adjusted models, lubrication disorder was associated with 45 times the odds of moderate/severe FSD (age-adj. OR: 45.38, 95% CI: 8.37, 246.00; p<0.001), pain with 17times the odds (age-adj. OR: 17.18, 95% CI: 4.50, 65.50; p<0.001) and satisfaction almost 5times the odds (age-adj. OR: 4.69, 95% CI: 1.09, 20.2; p = 0.04). Compared to those with 1-3 children, nulliparous women had 3.5 times higher odds of moderate/severe sexual dysfunction as well (age-adj. OR:3.51, 95% CI:1.37,8.98; p = 0.009).FSD-related Health Seeking Behaviors: Statistically significant predictors of FSD-related care seeking included having FSD of pain disorder (age-adj. OR: 5.91, 95% CI:1.29, 27.15; p = 0.02), having �4 children (age-adj. OR: 6.29, 95%CI: 1.53, 25.76; p = 0.01). Of those who sought help, seven in 10 sought formal help from a healthcare provider, with General Practitioners preferred over Gynecologist. About one in 3 (31.3%) who did not seek help indicated that they did not know their sexual dysfunction was a medical condition, over a quarter (28.9%) "thought it was normal" to have FSD, and interestingly, 14.1% did not think a medical provider would be able to provide them with assistance.

Menopause is a permanent termination of the menstrual cycle caused by the loss of activity of ovarian follicles which is enforced when experiencing amenorrhea for 12 months. The mean age for women to stop menstruating was 51.5 years. The cause of menopause is a decrease in ovarian hormones. When the ovaries stop working and estrogen levels drop, a woman will experience several complaints such as changes in menstrual patterns, vasomotor, somatic, and psychological complaints, sleep disorders, sexual disorders, urogenital disorders, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. Physical, psychological, social and cultural factors are factors that influence women’s sexual function. The ageing process is known to increase the prevalence of sexual dysfunction. Female sexual dysfunction prevalence is quite high, range from 38-85.2%. Sexual disorders can take many forms and clinical symptoms. Circulating estrogen levels have been shown to influence sexual desire, activity, experiences, and problems in sexually active postmenopausal women. Deficiency of estrogen will cause vaginal atrophy which can affect sexual dysfunction. Many factors influence sexual dysfunction, both biological and psychological, in postmenopausal women. The goal of managing sexual disorders in postmenopausal women is to maintain age-related function. Vulvovaginal complaints should be managed individualized and depends on the severity of symptoms, medical history and lifestyle of the patient.
