“…Os resultados são condizentes com os de outros estudos, que utilizaram o mesmo instrumento e não encontraram diferenças na função sexual de mulheres inférteis comparadas às férteis 14,15,20,24 . Outras análises que avaliaram somente mulheres inférteis também não encontraram diferenças 22,25 , mas outros autores identificaram disfunção sexual em mulheres infér-teis 1,2,5,16,[26][27][28][29] . Além disso, mulheres com infertilidade secundária apresentam menor comprometimento da função sexual nesse grupo de mulheres com infertilidade primária 18 .…”

“…Além disso, mulheres com infertilidade secundária apresentam menor comprometimento da função sexual nesse grupo de mulheres com infertilidade primária 18 .

They demonstrated that women's sexual dysfunction might be influenced by their age and mental health.…”
