“…It contains 12 subscales evaluating impotence, premature ejaculation, orgasmic disorder, vaginismus, lack of communication, avoidance in males and females, nonsensuality, insensitivity in males and females, and dissatisfaction in males and females. A score of 5 or more points in any category indicates sexual dysfunction (Rust and Golombok, 1986). A validation and reliability study of The Golombok-Rust Inventory in Turkish population was done by Tugrul et al (1993).…”

“…Because of this reason, the diagnostic instruments for FSD and the definition of FSD evolved gradually over years [9, 10]. Many structured self‐report and semistructured questionnaires have been developed for the evaluation of FSD, and some have been thoroughly tested for psychometric validity, like the Changes in Sexual Functioning Questionnaire [11], Brief Index of Sexual Functioning for Women [12], the Derogatis Interview for Sexual Functioning [13], the Golombok Rust Inventory of Sexual Satisfaction [14], and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) [9]. Some other questionnaires have also been developed, but have not been validated so extensively [15, 16].…”

IntroductionFemale sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common problem, and many self‐report questionnaires are available for its evaluation. Pakistani women with sexual problems feel shy to consult with their physician. A validated self‐report questionnaire, in the local language with modest expressions is required for these women.AimThe aim of this study was to translate, cross‐culturally adapt, and perform a psychometric validation of an Urdu translation of the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI).MethodsThe FSFI was translated in Urdu, and its precision was ascertained through reverse translation. It was pretested on 22 bilingual women and refined again to reach at a reliable Urdu version of the questionnaire FSFI‐U. One hundred sixteen bilingual women, in a stable sexual relationship over the previous 6 months were finally asked to fill out the FSFI and FSFI‐U. Their sexual function was then clinically evaluated and responses were compared with the clinical assessment as well as with each other.Main Outcome MeasuresThe responses were analyzed through descriptive statistics for reliability, face validity, agreement between the responses to the original English version and to the FSFI‐U, and also for test–retest consistency. The data were analyzed statistically using Cronbach's alpha analysis, Intraclass correlation coefficients, Pearson correlation, and Student's t‐test.Results FSFI was found to be easily understandable and capable of adequately evaluating and measuring various aspects of female sexual function. A high degree of internal consistency was demonstrated on Cronbach's alpha analysis. Cronbach's α coefficient for various domains was sufficiently high ranging from 0.84 to 0.97. The clinical assessment of the presence and severity of FSD also matched with the self‐report questionnaire. Similarly, various domains of FSFI had high degree of correlation in the Urdu version of FSFI (P < 0.001).ConclusionThe Urdu translation version of FSFI is valid and reliable for use in the literate population of Pakistan.

There is a gap in the literature about psychological status of patients following penile fracture surgery. We aimed to assess the long-term psychological status of penile fracture patients who have been treated by immediate surgical repair. A total of 32 patients with penile fracture have been treated surgically at our center. These 32 patients and 30 healthy control subjects were included in the study. All participants have completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Glombok-Rust Inventory of Satisfaction Scale (GRISS), and the premature ejaculation diagnostic tool (PEDT). The mean age of patients was 30.4 years and the mean body mass index was 27.3 kg m À2 . Sexual intercourse was the most common cause of the fracture. Immediate surgical repair was performed in all cases using a circumferential subcoronal incision and none of the patients had urethral injury intraoperatively. All tears were unilateral with a mean size of 1.5 cm. Only two patients had superficial dorsal vein rupture. At the day of assessment, the mean time elapsed after penile trauma was 15.9±6.3 months (range: 6-23). Only three patients had complications due to penile fracture including minimal penile curvature, penile nodule, and penile pain during intercourse. The mean scores obtained from PEDT, HADS, and GRISS did not show any statistically significant difference between groups. Anxiety, depression, premature ejaculation, and sexual dyssatisfaction levels were similar in both penile fracture patients who underwent immediate surgical repair and healthy control subjects. Immediate surgical repair of corporal ruptures have not shown any harmful psychogenic sequelae on patients with penile fracture.
