Abstract

Abstract: Objectives: This meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction (FSD) in healthy women and to investigate the related demographic factors. Methods: Studies that were conducted in Turkey were included in the analysis. Results: The prevalence of FSD, arousal, desire, pain/vaginismus, satisfaction, lubrication, and orgasm disorders were 39.65, 31, 31.3, 17.6, 23.8, 22.7, and 18.7%, respectively. Crude divorce rate ( β = −0.478, p = 0.004), crude marriage rate ( β = −0.180, p = 0.037), and age difference between partners ( β = 1.08, p = 0.001) had a significant effect on the outcomes. Conclusions: The prevalence of FSD in Turkey is similar to its prevalence in other countries.
