Abstract

Facts: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is a common yet misdiagnosed condition. The purpose of this study was to examine this problem in Egypt and explain the effects of CLBP on the sexual lives of women. Methods: 200 married women with persistent low back pain participated in this cross-sectional research. All patients had a thorough history and clinical examination, as well as a 25-question self-report questionnaire with additional questions tailored to the study's objectives. English and Arabic are used to write this piece. To guarantee the privacy and security of all collected data. Results: 35% of the 30-39-year-old individuals had a positive history of FGC, and 54.8 percent had no history of FGC. While 33.7% of individuals who had never had FGC and no one with FGC had frequency from 3 to 4 times, there was a statistically significant relationship between the patients' age, marital age and frequency of sex. FGC exposure reduced frequency in 18.5% of participants, who reported satisfaction with the frequency of intercourse and frequency of wetting in the bed during intercourse (88 percent and 63 percent of participants unexposed and exposed respectively get wetduring intercourse in more than 50 percent of sexual encounters). Conclusion: 54.8 percent of female chronic low back pain patients had female sexual dysfunction. Chronic low back pain was linked to decreased female erections.
