“…It is the impairment of any of three phases of normal sexual functioning, including loss of libido, disruption of physiological arousal, and loss or alteration of orgasm.

In the present day, people view infertility as a social issue that can result in psychological instability, relationship problems, and divorce. Consequences of infertility, such as low self-esteem, anxiety, and sexual relationship disturbances associated with failure in reproduction, have a major impact on sexual satisfaction. Aim:This study aims to assess the incidence of violence and sexual dysfunction among infertile women. Methods:Apurposive sample of 60 infertile women was enrolled; a cohort design was used. The outpatient gynecological clinic and ARTunit at Women's Health Hospital, Assiut University served as the study's sites. Data collection tools include a structured interview questionnaire, the Arabic version of the female sexual dysfunction index, and the WHO women domestic violence scale. Results:The study findings illustrate that the majority (85%) of infertile women experience violence, and a vast majority (93.3%) of them have sexual dysfunction. a highly statistically significant relationship between exposure to violence and occupation (p= 0.004) as well as type of family (p=0.001). Another highly statistically significant relationship exists between sexual dysfunction and occupation (p=0.004), in addition to educational level (p=0.009). Conclusion:Various forms of intimate partner violence and sexual dysfunction afflict infertile women. So, nurses should consider routine screening for domestic violence victims in infertility clinics. Recommendation:Providing marital counseling as a general course in higher institutions of learning to prepare couples to have positive sexual behaviour.

Purpose The perimenopausal period is marked by hormonal fluctuations that trigger a complex interplay between estrogen levels and neurotransmitters’ function, contributing to increased susceptibility to depression and anxiety in women. Concurrently, hormonal changes, coupled with alterations in vaginal tissue, lead to sexual dysfunction during this transitional phase. This study aimed at evaluating the association between menopausal symptoms and sexual dysfunction among perimenopausal women and identifying the mediating effects of depression and anxiety on this association. Patients and Methods Data for the present cross-sectional study were collected from participants via Arabic versions of three questionnaires; the modified Menopausal Rating Scale (MRS), the Female Sexual Functioning Index (FSFI) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HADS). Results Our study was conducted on 149 females with age ranged from 45 to 55 years. On studying the relation between modified MRS and HADS, the menopausal symptoms were significantly high among female with high anxiety scores. Regarding the relationship between MRS and FSFI, women with anxiety and physical and mental exhaustion had significantly lower FSFI scores than women without such symptoms (19.2 [2–31.4] vs 21.7 [3.8–30.9], p = 0.04, respectively). Furthermore, there were statistically significant negative correlations between depression scores and sexual desire (r = −0.32, p < 0.001), arousal (r = −0.25, p = 0.003), and total FSFI scores (r = −0.27, p = 0.04). Conclusion Perimenopausal women experience a confluence of challenges related to depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Understanding the interconnectedness of hormonal and psychosocial factors is essential for tailored interventions aimed at improving mental health and sexual well-being during this transitional phase.

Furthermore, each issue can increase the likelihood of extramarital relations or be affected by it [15][16][17].…”

Background Regarding psychosocial factors affecting sexual health and in most cultures, healthy and pleasurable sexual relations are valued in the family context, the present study aims to identify the psychosocial determinants of sexual health in newly married couples. Methods The present mixed-methods study will be conducted in three phases. The first phase will be carried out qualitatively based on which psychosocial determinants of the sexual health of newly married couples will be extracted. In the second phase, questionnaire items of psychosocial determinants of sexual health in newly married couples will be compiled, and face validity (quantitative and qualitative), content validity (quantitative and qualitative), and reliability of the questionnaire will be evaluated. In the third phase, which will be the quantitative phase of the study, the construct validity of the questionnaire will be assessed by analyzing the main items. Moreover, at this stage, the relationship between the extracted psychosocial determinants and the sexual health of newly married couples will be investigated. Discussion By explaining the psychosocial determinants of sexual health in newly married couples, it is possible to identify key variables for designing interventions that improve the sexual health of this group, based on their cultural sensitivities.
